Allow me to clarify the question in the title. I have a client who manages a page with over 11,000 fans, quite a dynamic Facebook page with comments, contests and the like.

Her FB page is for a Hotel Association that represents some 30 hotel members. So two days ago, she shared a post from a member (originally posted on the hotel’s FB page), which was about a contest. A nice photo was in the post, explaining the contest. So far so good, right?

Usually, any post done on my client’s FB page reaches between 1,000 to 3,000 fans, sometimes a bit higher during contests (we tried promoted posts during the Holidays, worked very well). But get this: the post done yesterday, sharing a member’s original post, reached an audience of… 28 fans! After 48 hours… Houston, we have a problem?

Has anybody encountered this situation recently? Is it another one of Facebook bugs (’cause I’ve experienced a few with other clients over past few days…)?

Comments and suggestions are appreciated. Thanks

@russellallert Hello Russell,
Long time no speak, hope you had a great 2012? Wish you all the best in 2013, that’s for sure

Yeah, I’ve heard of the downgrade in photo posts, but this is beyond. I also hope it’s a reporting problem. I thought it may be because it was a shared post, not an original one, but still: 28 views after more than 24 hours, it’s ridiculous. It’s an outlier, if anything.

I’ll keep monitoring. Cheers,

@russellallert Thanks Russell, much appreciated. I will certainly let you know how this situation unfolds.
As for business, 2012 was a launch year for me and it looks like 2013 is off to a phenomenal start. Really can’t complain, all is good
Cheers,
FG
P.S. Glad to hear things are going well for you too!

we kind of had a similar  post  yesterday….  our low  end for a picture post is usually  4  or 500, that  would  be  real low,    and  this one  got about  50….no  clue… @fredericgonzalo

Hi @fredericgonzalo @russellallert is right, in fact SME had a post on reduced pic post reach. refer https://www.facebook.com/smexaminer/posts/10151316899044383 for more user comments and views.
