  • hello,so I have a question about the data facebook give us about our pages. When you go to facebook insights, you see your likes, friends of fans, people talking about this and finally reach (this of 1 week).

    My question is about the ‘friends of fans’ part, I can see that my client page has an increase in likes every week, but the number of ‘friends of fans’ doesn’t go up with the increase in likes. In what depends that number?

    I thought that with more likes or fans, I would have more ‘friends of fans’. But it’s not like that. Sometimes it goes down even when I got a bunch of new likes that week.

    Anyone know on what depends that number? 

    I hope you understand what I mean, my facebook is in spanish hahaha, so it’s hard to explain..

  • My friends of fans # has been going up and down wildly the last couple of weeks even though we are adding new fans. Might be a bug.

  • @michaelpingree you think so? because we have the same problem… last week I lost half of my ‘friends of fans’ without any reason at all.

    But in normal circunstancies, what affect that number? only the number of fans? 

  • Interesting @hytare I’ve really never watched that number that closely and so I’m not sure.  There could be some clearing out of profiles but I wouldn’t think it would decrease that rapidly since everyone is limited to 5000 friends.  It depends on the original number.  

    It also looks like the friends of fans number lags by a couple days.  Anyone else watch this number and notice big swings?
