Facebook Likes When Sharing
-
Company A Someone shares a post from Company B on their Facebook page.
The post generated 1000 likes and 300 shares. Only a small percentage of likes show up for Company B's page.
Why does Company B's page not receive all the likes or at least a higher percentage for that post?
-
Paid promotion is a good starting point, but not necessary. Paid promotion only goes so far.
General advertising on a number of mediums both online and offline will get you likes too. Let people know you have a Facebook, keep it active and people will like your page.
Write a blog and include your Facebook link. On forums add a Facebook link in your signature. On paper advertisements, include the Facebook logo and a simple link to it, e.g. www.facecook.com/inmarketingwetrust
I also see you don't have your Facebook account on your Moz profile. That is also I good place to start.

Thanks for your answer. Is there any other way to do this to generate more likes?
-
Did company A share, or post a link on Company B's page? That is the main difference.
The way Facebook sets up 'sharing' posts is that it creates an entire new post with a redirect link to the original post.
If people like or comment on the shared post, Company B will gain the exposure. However, they have the option to click to the original post of Company A and like or comment on there.
-
Because people is liking, sharing and commenting on company's A post, regardless if it was a re-share. Company B will only benefit of that as a "share" and if the users who see company A's post goes to company b's post and like/share/comment there.

Can You Aggregate Likes from Pages on Your Site to Your Homepage?
I think the Facebook widget is great for social proof if you have a lot of people who like you. (the widget that shows faces of people who like you) Let's say that you create a resource that gets 100 likes. Do those "Likes" only count at the page level or can they be aggregated into a total "Likes" count that you can show on your home page and on the Facebook widget? Or are "Likes" in the Facebook widget only for people who like your Facebook page? (not those who "Like" your site).

Facebook Shares and the rel="canonical" tag
We use canonical tags for multipart videos, using part 1 of the series as their canonical tag. The logic behind this is that if you have eight parts, it's better for part 1 to get all the link juice for the entire series, so that when someone searches for the main keyword, part 1 is the highest ranked part to appear in search results, and the link juice from every part is aggregated into that one page. The problem is the Facebook made changes to their URL sharing practices to reflect the canonical tag. So as long as the tag is used Facebook ignores the image and description from say part 2, and uses the description from part 1. Can this be waived by using Facebook Open Graph Protocol? Thanks!!

Is there a way on OSE or any other site to find the 50 most socially shared URLs on a given domain?
I'd love to see which URLs on a specific domain get socially shared the most. I know I can use OSE to say figure out exactly how much social sharing has happened on let's say this URL:
Social Media | | Almonds
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barack_Obama But what if I want to figure out the top 50 most shared URLs across all of wikipedia.org. Is that possible on OSE or anywhere else? If not, do you have some ideas on how something similar could be achieved?0 -
