There is only one way to do this. With a landing page and it checks to see if the page is liked or not. You are going to have to create an application by going to http://developers.facebook.com/apps. Tis will allow you to create a new landing page. You will need a server to host it on or use the free cloud service that they now provide. The app will need to be created with one of the SDK’s from https://developers.facebook.com/docs/sdks/. With PHP to check if someone likes the page you use code like

<?php
function parsePageSignedRequest() {
  if (isset($_REQUEST['signed_request'])) {
  $encoded_sig = null;
  $payload = null;
  list($encoded_sig, $payload) = explode('.', $_REQUEST['signed_request'], 2);
  $sig = base64_decode(strtr($encoded_sig, '-_', '+/'));
  $data = json_decode(base64_decode(strtr($payload, '-_', '+/'), true));
  return $data;
  }
  return false;
}
function parse_signed_request($signed_request, $secret) {
  list($encoded_sig, $payload) = explode('.', $signed_request, 2); 
  // decode the data
  $sig = base64_url_decode($encoded_sig);
  $data = json_decode(base64_url_decode($payload), true);
  if (strtoupper($data['algorithm']) !== 'HMAC-SHA256') {
    error_log('Unknown algorithm. Expected HMAC-SHA256');
    return null;
  }
  // check sig
  $expected_sig = hash_hmac('sha256', $payload, $secret, $raw = true);
  if ($sig !== $expected_sig) {
    error_log('Bad Signed JSON signature!');
    return null;
  }
  return $data;
}
function base64_url_decode($input) {
  return base64_decode(strtr($input, '-_', '+/'));
}
if($signed_request = parsePageSignedRequest()) {
if($signed_request->page->liked) {?>
 Page Liked - Display HTML
   <?php } else { ?>
 Dont Like Page - display html
<?php }
}
?>

Now from here you can create any page to display what ever content you pretty much wish.
