Bug?unlikes on Facebook (7 posts)

Topic tags: bug, unlikes
  • Hello all,

    Several of my Facebook pages are losing fans. But new fans are coming in, and the no. of unlikes shown in the insights are normal. What happpend? Is there a bug reported? anyone know?

    Tks,

    Nicole

  • @nicolechan may be possible that those losers are fake fans. Facebook started crushing down fake likes from pages and to your surprise, most brands who got lost thousands of fans include coke, pepsi and even facebook itself.

    Here is our club thread where we discussed this crackdown which was initiated in october 2012.

  • thanks. But it’s already January now..

    still removing?

  • @nicolechan may be yes, and obviously they have billions of users (including fake ones) so it might not be an overnight game i guess. Still i would like to hear from other members on this. Thank you!

  • Hi,There are several  priorities which Facebook do consider these are your account name, activity. Well you can try to open an account on brand name or some stupid name even during activation it will send an e-mail or message that your account was deleted. Or else if you  live it and don’t do any activity again the same will happen.The same it may happen that you got some like via exchange program or fake fans these ones are being deleted and when they are deleted by Facebook you get also unlike which is bad. I also got the same problem.Another reason may be of posts if they are not relevant anymore they will unlike which may not happen I believe.

  • Hello!Just this past week I have lost 546 Likes on my business page for my company. I read about the purge that FB was using to flush out fake likes, and was wondering if this was what happened. I also know that my predecessor acquired hundreds of likes within 2 weeks time (that was the length of his employment here), and that he must have bought them or garnered them illicitly. 

    I have had to explain this to my employers and co workers (who thought my predecessor was a rock star at the time). 

    I’m not quite sure how to handle this on the page, not sure what to post to explain to our actual audience, and would appreciate any suggestions anyone could offer! 

    And if anyone would like to help me restore some likes legitimately, here is the link:http://www.facebook.com/AMSMartialLife Thank you!

  • i’m still suffering from the fan drop…

    from facebook insight, the no. of likes exceed the no. of unlikes…
