is clicking on a picturE counted as ENGAGEMENT on your facebook page? (8 posts)

  • do the  clicks on pictures    count? 

  •  i looked this up on facebook and it just said  clicking on a post  counted as  engagement….  but  does that include clicking on a picture?  if  so  im  not so worried aobut my pictures…since most people who  get  my  albums   DO   look at them , im pretty sure…

    is  this too easy of a question?   hard  for me…

  • I have always assumed that a photo was a post.

  • thanks  jules….facebook always  seems a little   murky to me……..but looking at my insights it  sure looks  like  they  count….. 

     .. i  got this idea  from  your  post earlier  and it made me  feel better about all this….since   i figure my pictures  are pretty  popular….and  most  of  my  actual  buyers  would  naturally   click on them …it sounds  right…. 

    so it  changes my plot a  bit….now im going to   be sure and  use  my promoted posts   on  albums….they  always  get so many  connections… 

  • @annfurnivall that sounds like a reasonable plan to me.

    PS – Happy Thanksgiving ;)

  • Hi @annfurnivall, I believe they count, because pictures are also “posts” but in a different format. 

    When someone clicks on an image on a page, it means he/she is attracted to it, and therefore wants to see more of it (Parts of images usually appear hidden on facebook). 

    I reckon you always add some info about the picture when posting them? If not, you should try it and then include a link as well.

  • Yes, @annfurnivall clicks on Photos do count.  If you download your Insights, I think it’s in the Post-level insights, they show clicks and then tell which type of post it was, photos, links etc.  There is a LOT of data in that post-level insights that is very interesting!

  • thanks andrea.. @andrea-vahl  ….thats  encouraging…..i hadnt  realaized  that, guess i thought if i didnt see  their  like  or  comment recorded on my page    that it  didnt  count….

    i really do look at the insights…and i like how they  have  lots of  definitions  embedded  on the words……. it helps….but  dang  its  kind of  convoluted  for   really  understanding…..

    im promoting a  full picture album  right now  and   think it will be worth the  money….
