interesting link….
my likes are genuine since they come from customers and their connections not ads…….. too bad limited run is withdrawing and not trying for plain old organic use of facebook…..a fan base of organic connections is pretty nice!!!!

I think for the most part is easy to tell the difference between organic and paid or solicited support. It’s like cheating when playing a board game when you were a kid. Even if everyone else thinks you’re a winner, you know it’s not real and that doesn’t feel good.

I understand how Ghost Friends clicking on your ads could be expensive but I am wondering how it effects your Insights. If you have over a thousand ‘Fake Friends’ who don’t share or comment on your posts wouldn’t that adversely effect your relevancy in the Facebook bots ‘eyes’?I took over an acct from another SEO co. only to discover the Fans were 90% vapor. Should I go in and confirm all friends and delete those?

Friend of mine who is a data junkie did a review of server logs on a campaign we ran together — his number was that 25% seemed fishy.

@ellenpartal thats a hard question…… if it would leave them with 4 or 500 likes it wouldnt be too bad….if it pushed thelikes down to 12 well that woudnt be so good….. maybe do it slowly…..
vapor likes would sure mess up your connecting tracking…….

annoying to read that a bot may be generating your likes.

All the fake likes and follows are annoying to those getting them genuinely since people are too often herd animals and follow the bigger packs… but genuine likes generate genuine business, so let’s keep our heads held high and keep ‘em real…
