I know what you’re thinking to yourself…
Access to their newsfeed Remember, they don’t come back to your page.
So what’s the value?
of comments & likes come from newsfeeds
You have to get into their newsfeed

Start by making them fans
This is a “Fan Gate” »
Tell them what you want them to do
Replaces the old “Become a Fan”
Replaces “Share” by auto-posting to your wall
This is why we need the ‘like’
Getting posts into the newsfeed is critical to building impressions

Why do you think this number is so low?
Edge Rank is Facebook’s algorithm
• Ranks on relevancy • Shows 3-5 most interesting posts
(FB randomizes it slightly so it doesn’t seem so stalkerish)
• The majority of fans NEVER see your status updates
How does Edge Rank work?
• Affinity score - the affinity between the user and the creator of the item
- number of times the users profile was checked
• Weight - comments & likes add points
- my comments are worth more than those of my friends
- comments are worth more than non-friend comments
• Time Decay - as time passes, stories lose points
Curious little note here:
The native “Edge” score treats photos & video better by default than it does with
text-only posts
You can’t SPAM it as hard as you may try
• EdgeRank is between an object and a user unlike SEO, an EdgeRank score is different for each user
• No such thing as generic “Edge Rank score” the architecture of the algorithm makes it impossible
• Real-time score competes with everything in the newsfeed… as long as a status update is in the top 3-7 posts, you’ll probably be shown until time decay reduces points OR other posts push you out
You CAN optimize your content
The native “Edge” score treats photos & video better by default than it does with
text-only posts
Ever think about posting on Saturday mornings?
• Best time to post
Write at a 9th grade level
