This means that I may have missed some great Facebook pages that should be in the Top 10 list. If you believe this is the case then please drop me a note in the comments below with the Facebook page and if needed I can extend the list so that it truly represents the best SEO related pages on Facebook.  Finally, the fan count stats were taken as at 18 May 2013.
