Like Tracking App? Where? (5 posts)

  • Is there an application to track likes on certain topics, postings, etc.? 

    People here say run a campaign tracking people’s likes but I don’t really know how to track it without having to do it manually.

  • you question just goes to prove I can be dense at times (OK, often). You probably don’t mean a tweetmeme type thing, like SME uses, but I can’t think ofwhat else it could be.

  • Hi Mac sorry for not being specific. If my question killed some of your brain cells than please accept my apologies. 

    The reason why Im asking this question is because some marketers have given me suggestions on developing a “like” contest for their clients. An example would be to earn a prize for the person who gets the most likes for a contest or promotion, etc. 

    Therefore I just wanted to find out how do people count likes on a certain promotion, giveaway etc.? 

    Is there a way to track it easily and or is there a tracker out there that can do that? 

    Thank you,

  • I don’t think there is, @virgilvergara  You can track overall Likes on a post with a plugin like  @richardmclaughlin said.  But you can’t track who liked what unless you have access into the API and you develop something.  And I think it’s not allowed to actually have a Like contest (you can require someone to Like your page to enter but not go around and Like a bunch of things)  

    I may be missing something – just like Richard said, trying to rack my brain to think if there is something I’m missed.

  • @AndreaVahl Thank you. Do you know what plugin that is? I’m curious to see what it does.
