@truffulatuft  I am by no means an expert in this (although many on these forums are!), but I have seen people asking their fans to “like” and “comment” on their posts if they want them to continue to be seen in their news feeds.  This may help if your fans cooperate!  Good luck!

jm, its  confusing  on my page too…..one  day i had  blanks  instead of pictures….

@kimkline , im  seeing that a lot too…the  wierd slant is  ….  you  would  be  talking to  the  small group   who  DO  get  your  feed already…not  the  big part that  now  dont see  you….i guess asking  for the like  DURING A PROMOTED POST     would  be   one   way  around  this…

.  kim, how are  you  reacting on  your page or   for  your  clients pages    to  this  big  change?   im  not seeing this  covered  well at all in the  social press, past that it happened………i  really dont know   the  best  way to deal with it….my  customers   want pictures  but if i put pictures on   my  views tank..so????…i need  facebook!!!!   it was  working  great for us..

..And..how  can  JMs  page  do  better with pictures..?. 

@JM You most likely accidentally double posted.  This happens when Facebook is going slow and you refresh or hit post multiple times because you thought it stalled.  

I am assuming the second post was the one with higher views.  This is caused by post cannibalization.  Facebook will automatically make your last post more important and show that one in news feeds.  Every post has a lifespan, usually around 4 hours, so its important to spread out your posts so you don’t kill any.

Pictures are proving to be the best way to get your posts in the newsfeed.  Just think about how Facebook is used.  People scroll through their newsfeed and look at all the pictures, and if something attracts their attention, they read the post.  This leads to people engaging by normally liking the post, because it is the easiest thing to do.  Comments and Shares carry more weight in edgerank, so having a call to action to comment and/or share will help get into more newsfeeds.  

They have changed a lot since feeling pressure from shareholders to find ways to bring in more money, and some have really hurt businesses, but i think they will figure it out.
