I have an unusual question. While looking at recipe pages on FB I came across pages that have 1,000,000 likes and pages that have 200,000 likes. The page with the most likes that posts a recipe gets roughly 40 shares per recipe yet the page that has 200,000 likes posts a recipe and gets 600 shares. Both sites do not engage their fans. My question is does anyone know how and/or why this occurs? Also, the site with the lesser likes on the recipe itself is getting the huge amount of shares Here is my dilemma I own a recipe site that does okay. Usually 2000 to 2500 page views a day and a small amount of money monthly from adsense. So on Monday I checked adsense and I was at 10,000 page views and a substantial increase in money. When I found the source it turned out it was coming from another fan page on Facebook. Seems they published one of my recipes and it got around 800 shares. Here's what they did. They posted my picture of the recipes and a link to their site from FB then they wrote a few paragraphs in there our words on their site, then link to my recipe on my page. It's not duplicate content so I dont see a problem. So the following day my numbers went back to 2000 page views. Thinking this was just a fluke I messaged the fan page with another recipe because their page says "We share the best recipes from around the web. If you would like your recipe featured please send us the recipe and a picture/video." Today they posted my recipe and now I'm at 10,000 page views again and a huge increase in adsense for the day. My other question is how do I keep this traffic going and is it google legal? It would be like any other site linking to me so I don't see a problem but if they stop linking to my site my site will go way back down again. I'm just not sure what to do. Any help would be appreciated. Thank You, PJS Thank You Phil
Well, you realized that Facebook can bring you Adsense money. Congrats. Now keep doing it. And yes, it's perfectly legal.
