im  trying to   understand  my  facebook  charts  better, under insights…. on one  chart it  shows my  reach at 5100…that one was for a week…..then  on one  day within that week another chart shows 124 page  views….

can i assume the  first  chart ,REACH, showed   how many  times i appeared on  a  timeline that  week ….and  the  second  chart,PAGE VIEWS,,   shows how many  actually  went to  my  page on the  Certain  day ?   this is  hard  for me…the words  dont  register logically  ..in other words   did many get my post  but  few  went  back to my page?  

 and  then   say i posted  12  times  that week….  and a person  saw  12 posts, the  chart  said    unique  visitors….so  did  the person get  counted  12 times or one time?…meaning the person  in the  5100  group of unique people….

i cANT  GET A  CONFLICT  STRAIGHT…  the insights  talk about how many   reached…i  want to  think  my   post   gets on   that many timelines….maybe  low on their page   maybe high.???? is  that  right?

…..then i  read from another  expert   that   hardly any of my  fans   see  my posts….but  my  chart  just  said 5100  were  reached  within a week..????   i dont  get this….i understand  that if  they  dont engage  i will   go  down  low on their  timeline….

..i have  2700  fans…and  5000 reached within  the  week…. but maybe  they werent  exactly reached,  maybe i was there but down too low….  ????

thanks….i am  so non  tekkie…and i  really want to   get this  straight. but it  doesnt ever  quite make  sense   …i understand  the marketing   but not these tekk  details…..  thanks
