Do facebook Like button really matter anymore? I mean my page has over 5000 likes but there's almost nil traffic on my blog through my page. I have removed like button from my website and nothing has been impacted
- dewey 7y agoIt’s not about getting “likes” on your FB page. It’s used as a tracking pixel to target specific users of your site for retargeting etc
- alexpetralia 7y agoIt matters for Facebook tracking users in exchange for the "opportunity" of increasing traffic. Of course most of this traffic only occurs if you pay for it.
- unicornfinder 7y agoNot to mention that from what I've seen most of the traffic you'll get from Facebook originates from click farms.
- ishan1121 7y agoYeah, Facebook pages are pay for view platform. Paying for FB does not make any sense if you are a blog or something
- buboard 7y agoFacebook pages are a dead channel. Basically, facebook chokes and monetizee every channel that brings traffic. Next up is groups.
- tracker1 7y agoOne thing that bugs me, is you cannot promote groups directly... you have to create a Page for your group... even if the page is a useless placeholder.
- buboard 7y agoHa true. and you HAVE to download facebook's app on your phone (500MB app) to prove your not a russian troll. Do not even bother with the page, pages are facebook's way to trick you into paying endlessly to "boost your post"
- tracker1 7y agoYeah, that's the other niggle, it's feels like a never ending stream of upsell/spam once you do make a page.
