today my page got 2 messages …both from distant antique stores complimenting my page and asking me to like their page…ikkk…
i dont want their posts on my business page … so even if i wanted to like them i wouldnt do it as a page.i would do it as a person…….it was a sweet friendly message about spreading the love…lol
this hasnt happened before …did something change?

Ann, I would almost speculate that it’s more a matter of other antique dealers just now finding your page. Over the years, I’ve periodically had other dealers message me, so I wouldn’t think it’s an issue of something having changed.
I’m confused by your reference to not wanting their posts on your business page, though. Their posts wouldn’t appear on your page, they would just show up in your business page’s feed. Granted, I don’t believe you can turn their posts off in your business page’s news feed, as you can on a personal page, but then again, if you’re like me, you probably spend most of your Facebook time wearing your personal hat.

@hjelliott, ive had other dealers find my page and post something nice.,……but this was different in that they asked me to return the favor and like their page…. ;i assumed if i did as they asked and liked their page as a business, then their posts would appear in my pages feed somewhere….and i dont want that..why else would they want me to like them?
i have never had a business directly ask me to trade likes before…..or personally ask me to like their page… i didnt do it..
. most of my facebook time is business….i post 2 times a day and have to relpy to comments etc….and work on my pictures…

I think it’s just fallout from Like exchanges on LinkedIn. They’re trying to collect Likes not understanding the process or how likes populate on a fan page. “sure I’ll like your fan page, Would you like me to put a banner or button on my site linking back to your site too won’t take but a minute?” They don’t understand there’e no difference.
For years and some websites still believe link exchanges help a site Google search – it’s people guided by misinformation.

As your page grows you will get more and more of these.I get them daily, also people asking me to post Youtube videos, affiliate links, new apps, competitions they have entered and pretty much everything else you can imagine haha

i got another one today….. im hiding these …which would be a negative to the senders…. if negatives count for anything, i would think the folks doing this would be getting a lot of negatives and maybe rethink this plot….
. @pacey, we must be in diffferent worlds,,,,this isnt normal in my retail store world,,… my page is pretty big and i have never gotten this kind of stuff tilll this month… im guessing this is a new idea being floated around somewhere…. but it might backfire if it gets the senders lots of negatives… im just not interested in advertizing for the competition…. my page is about my business…. and related stuff that i choose….

It’s not a new concept, but the idea may have been posted on recently on a blog somewhere. If you were to like their page their posts wouldn’t end up on your page, just in the pages news feed, which I am sure you never look at. If it’s not in your strategy to work with other stores to create an online/offline community then just x them.
