Why? Simply because facebook's new 'reach algorithm' also known as EdgeRank will penalize you if your fans are not active. These are hard times for anyone trying to make money with their facebook page, either promoting affiliate products or driving traffic to their website. It's 10x better if you have 5,000 likes from real active people than 50,000 likes and more than half of those are fake accounts. EdgeRank calculates the number of people that like/share/comment on your posts, the more that do that - the more your page reach increases, therefor reach other people that liked your page. I've done many tests and found 2 very useful tools that helped me increase my page likes and reach, also had some posts from my site go totally viral. This is what I've been using and HIGHLY recommend: http://likesbandit.com - amazing wordpress facebook plugins for your site http://www.postplanner.com/app-features/ - increase engagement on your facebook page * Please note I am NOT affiliated with those products, and the links I've posted are NOT affiliate links. I simply recommend them because I had great success using them.
Whether you get caught and penalized or not, buying likes or followers is not a good idea. It's much better to have real authentic people liking your pages than a robot or random people that are paid to. Real people will participate with your site and will potentially become customers and clients. That's the whole point in the first place.
thanks for the info, I know one time i got over 30000 likes and made close to 3000 extra that month back in 2012
it's like two or three years old thing of buying facebook fake likes\followers. It's weird there are still people buying it
Finally there's actually a THING that will give some true consequences to the people buying likes for ridiculous reasons.
yes, we don't want to buy likes from provider, some time they create likes by software, which is seem like fake. be aware.
It was clear for me from the beginning that bought likes are not valuable at all. It's better to put that money into advertising or some giveaways.
maybe likes from dp. i can see some guys here have very few message with many likes. makes me envy coz cant post in marketplace.
Hi guys , as everyone said , please donot buy likes or any services from social network sites & it will do harm than wonder. It has to be organic & only then your profile will reach large visitor base who are your actual target audiences. If you buy likes or profile from third party on social networking sites , all those likes / profiles would be from people with unethical practices. So be careful.
Well said.. Even i am also agree with this.. It won't help to our if the user are untargeted who like our page.. We need to get like to our page by posting some valuable content to user and more interactive that would increase engagement.. Keep continuous eyes on the users behaviours.. You will get organic like that will values to your business..
Yeah, it is really bad to do. I have done this before and explained all my thoughts about it over here: http://websprank.com/buying-facebook-likes/ .
click on promote advertisement in Facebook can help you to increase REAL LIKE fast ! the is the Fastest and easiest way for paid advertising
There's no substitute for hard work. Short cuts of any type are inevitably found by the search engines, (Hey they index them!) so they know about them before you, and are already looking to close the loophole before you have signed up!
I’m not surprised actually. Fake likes will get you nowhere anyway – they don’t bring you real fans, only fake numbers. After all, you don’t get engaged audience without hard work and well-targeted ads.
