Keeping Track of Page LIKES – How Do You Do It? (12 posts)

Topic tags: page likes
  • I posted this question on my page:  “How do you keep track of 100’s of LIKES a day?” To date, this post has my highest reach and engaged users, but no one has answered the question.  Does anyone here have an answer?

    I think the ‘lookers’ were looking for the answer – I just wanted to be prepared in advance! lol Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:”Table Normal”; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-priority:99; mso-style-parent:”"; mso-padding-alt:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt; mso-para-margin-top:0in; mso-para-margin-right:0in; mso-para-margin-bottom:10.0pt; mso-para-margin-left:0in; line-height:115%; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:11.0pt; font-family:”Calibri”,”sans-serif”; mso-ascii-font-family:Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family:Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin;}

    I’m not sure exactly what you are asking for, but this might be an answer

    How to query for count of Facebook Likes and Shares on a specific URL

    Here is a link with a url from your blog
    https://api.facebook.com/method/fql.query?query=select%20%20url,like_count,%20total_count,%20share_count,%20click_count%20from%20link_stat%20where%20url%20=%20%22http://www.whispersinmotion.com/small-business-online-strategy%22

    I know it looks like a bunch of gobaly gook, but all you need to change is the URL at the end of the string without overwriting or deleting any of the other characters.

    The result is parsed in xml, but it’s simple enough that you should be able to understand the statistics.

  • Would like to know how others are keeping track of their Facebook LIKES.  With just a few every now and then, it is easy to Thank them for LIKING your page, visit their website, and find their Facebook page.

    However, if you were getting hundreds of Page LIKES a day (that is what I forgot to emphasize – PAGE LIKES) – how are people keeping track of these.

    Of course, I don’t have to worry about this at this point, but I was just wondering what those who are getting hundreds are doing to interact with their new LIKES.

    Thanks @juleswebb for responding.  I’m not sure what those numbers in the link represent but with the website listed – it must be from the post on my website, right?

  • @melowout There is a query in the url string requesting total number of shares, likes, and click count of the page url entered at the end of the string.

    To date, this post has my highest reach and engaged users, but no one has answered the question

    When you said “this post” it sounded like you wanted to know how many likes and interaction one of your blog posts had received.

    As to your real question, I don’t have an answer. I am interested to hear what other say though.

  • @juleswebb Thanks for your reply.  Yes, I was not very specific when I posted the topic and I’ll try to remember that in the future.  Sometimes I think people can just read my mind! lol

    I am definitely interested in what people with those HIGH Facebook Page Likes do to interact with their new members, so I’ll definitely be following to see if anyone jumps in with an idea or two! :)

  • Just following you discussion find it quite interesting as I think I need a “dummies instruction” manual for facebook.  I have a personal fb account and then started a page for VBS.  I would like to keep the two separate however, have no idea on how to get any likes or traffic to the page without it costing..Has anybody got any tips:-)

  • @vbsservices  Hey there – I see your FBook page is quite new.  Most people would like to keep Profile and Business separate – but, that cuts down on a lot of organic or generic Likes – since your friends – and their friends can’t click over to your Page.

    Not to say it cannot be done as others are certainly doing it!  You might want to start with this link – some good ideas in here.  http://www.socialmediaexaminer.com/clubs/facebook/forum/topic/what-is-content-strategy-in-facebook-page/

    Also, at the top of this page – in the search box – just enter ‘how to get more Facebook Likes’ or something similar and you will find numerous links with tons of ideas.

    I get my more solid connections from pages where I’ve interacted with the content – usually by commenting or asking a question about their business, service or product.

    LIKE parties are another technique to try.  I generally post my link, find about 5 others to LIKE and gain a few LIKES from each participation.  When I like another page I generally review their page and their website to find something I can comment on – add my comment or interact with another post.  Sometimes you’ll get a LIKE – sometimes not.

    I’m not in a real hurry to boost my ratings (numbers) and I’m really just scratching the surface and feeling my way along.

    Also, it would help if you added a bit more content and description to your About section.  Why would your company be a good source, what is special or makes you stand out from others in your field?

    Best way to do this is to find others in your niche and see what you like about their pages or descriptions.  It will give you ideas how to improve your own page.  Good luck to you – it is quite a trip let me tell you!!! :)

  • @melowout thank you for the feedback.  It is a great idea, I will be looking at obtaining or designing a website shortly and I think this would help alot.  Will keet you informed.

  • Fb Insights, woobox and crowdbooster currently we’ve used edgerankchecker in the past

  • There are many tools to track Page Likes, but I think she is more talking about how to engage each new person who Likes the page.  How are you currently engaging with them?  With Pages you can’t send personal messages and an individual post seems like it would get really old to your current fans.  Just curious as to how you do it now.

    Personally I work a page that gets hundreds of Likes a day, some days over a thousand, and at this point I think it would be impossible to engage with each one individually.
