PICTURES AND REACH…. (7 posts)

  • I FOLLOWED  a members  post on here, jenetta ,, presenting  the     IDEA THAT  NO PICTURES   WOULD   UP  YOUR  REACH ON  FACEBOOK…… i have over 3000 fans on  my page and most of the time got over 1000  views until   right after  sept 21…..  going  from my normal  1000 reached  down to  4 or  5oo…and my posts always had  pictures  ……..

    so  in the last week i   put up  4 days of posts with no pictures  and   each one  got back  up to   over 1000 in reach….today i put a picture up and  got    under 400  reach….

    this is  so wierd….why would pictures  make such a difference?   and  what is  going on  with   everyone elses  pages?  i noticed  russel  said  to   try and  go  by  the rules….but what in the heck are they? i love my pictures …and  so do my  fans…i thought i  got al those fans  by  following the  facebook  rules!!!lol…guess not…

    is anyone  getting anymore info  on this?

  • my me is is pictures and pulled link posts.. I can only get reach on status updates

  • I checked my stats immy, now that I read your post @annfurnivall

    When I post text, without pictures, I get a higher reach. BUT, when posting pictures, the virality figure is higher.

    This is what I can see so far. I will keep an eye on this. Seems weird somehow.

  • Photos perform best on Facebook due to their filtering algorithm called ‘EdgeRank’.  Facebook weighs photo posts higher than other updates, because users are more likely to engage with them, which results in more of your fans and friends of fans being reached.  For more info on this, I created an infographic on EdgeRank @annfurnivall.  If you have any other questions, I’m happy to help!

  • i did all that….i love pictures….see my  page….

    .we   have  3600  fans    mainly  built  by using  great pictures…… now   my picture posts have flallen off the  cliff..down by half….and my   words  posts  are about the same as they were before  sept  21……….  ..with no  change on my part… @itsmikemags ?????

    See 45 days ago I would have agreed w/ you.. but not  today.. I was doing lots of photo posts and they were doing great.. then they weren’t.  So I switched to status posts and they have been doing great- 3-10X the amount of views.. and my on site stats reflect the difference in click thorughs.. so it’s not just #’s.

    The problem I am finding is that either people respond differently (or FB weighs differently) to status updates and my talking about is remaining low.. even though likes and comment are good.  So my views are decreasing because I think my edgerank is decreasing..

    So I am in a pickle.. I either post photos and FB refuses to show more than 2% of my fans or I post status updates, that FB will show.. but they decrease my edgerank.

    I would LOVE your help

    this is very typical of what I am seeing these days.. fb is simply blocking both photo and “pulled link”( with the small photo) updates.

    My guess is that photo one will max out around 800 views.. unless it somehow picks up more interaction..
