Hi,
I’m running this music community on FB (Deep Disco) but I’m getting complaints from people that my page postings don’t show on their feed sidebar.
I assume that FB somehow decides what’s relevant to you (which I find somewhat disturbing tbh) and will show up on your feed. So how does this work?

I’ve noticed something similar; I’ve had notifications that someone posted on my wall, but regardless of whether I’m using the page as the page (PaintedHill), or using the page as administrator, I don’t see the post…

Hi Rolf,
Posts become visible when people engage with your page/posts. If they’re not visiting your page & engaging (liking, sharing or commenting) with your posts, they likely won’t see them in their feeds.

Hi Renee,
Your issue is something different. It’s possible that those posts that are missing may be due to the settings for your page.
Under “Edit Page”, look at the “Post Visibility” section on your managed permissions tab, look at the dropdown and make sure it says “allowed on page”.
You can also try using your page as admin, look right below the apps area where it says “Highlights”, click on it and choose “Posts by Others”. * To view posts by others the checkbox needs to be checked on the “Post Visibility” section mentioned above.

Hi Nicole,
I understand what you’re saying but what’s the logic/algorithm in this?
Super important question if you ask me. What’s the value of having a million likes when no one knows what’s going on with you?

im worried about this too….. for example i like seeing my fav resturants   menu   each day but i dont go to their page…and with these discussiOns i realize i dont see them so much anymore…..   so i guess WE NEED TO REMIND OUR FANS THAT WE WILL FALL OFF THEIR PAGE IF THEY DONT DO SOMETHING….
i would like to see every place i   liked…. if i didnt want to see them i would unlike them…. i guess facebook doesnt see it this way…
@rolfski    i guess i will try an FYI post on my page….trying to say if you want to keep getting our updates   please   like a post or comment or share us once in a while…thats how facebook decides if you see us…. HERES WHAT I DID…WE WILL SEE IF IT   HELPS…. http://www.facebook.com/greenoakantiques  p.s. its   right below the pinned   picture of the blue cupboard….and i see got 50 likes in the first hour…

Sorry I missed your post! I don’t usually follow topics because my inbox would be ridiculously full. It would only be an educated guess as to the logic but I’m assuming it’s very similar to regular search engines. They want to present information that is relevant to the user. So if they haven’t engaged with your posts for some time, that could mean that you are not interested in the posts made by that company or person so the relevancy it has to your feed drops, leaving it open for new posts from friends or pages that you engage with on a more regular basis.
As far as algorithms go, you’d want to look at EdgeRank. Here’s a post about EdgeRank from InsideFacebook.com that explains what is is and how it works- http://www.insidefacebook.com/2011/12/27/edgerank-and-graph-rank-defined/

Thanks for the info. Useful but still not very exact which worries me. Apparently there doesn’t appear much interest in this particular subject as I find it hard to get good info on.
Imo, this topic should be much higher on the list of every social marketeer. It appears now that most seem to be obsessed with increasing the numbers of likes on their FB page vs actually reaching your audience with your FB posts because they show up in peoples feed.
What’s the value of FB in your marketing strategy if all you accomplish is that people will only like your page and that’s it?
