Why Your Fans May Not Be Seeing Your Facebook Page Posts In Their Newsfeed

3 Jun 2012

If you notice that you’re not seeing posts from a Page you’ve Liked or you have fans letting you know that they aren’t seeing your posts, it may not only be an Edgerank issue. Visit the Page you Liked or suggest that your fans visit your Page and mouse over the “Liked” button to make sure that “Show in News Feed” is checked.

Another possible answer could be that at some point you or they hid a post and inadvertently did one of the following:

* Hide story will remove the story you’re looking at
* Hide all by and Unsubscribe from will remove the story you’re looking at, as well as all future stories from a person, Page, group, event or app
* Report story or spam will remove the story you’re looking at and help keep your news feed clear of stories like it in the future

If you or your fan believes it’s possible they accidentally hid all or unsubscribed, do the following:

* From your home page, hover over news feed in the left sidebar menu.
* Click the pencil icon that appears to the left.
* A list of people, apps, Pages, and groups you’ve hidden or unsubscribed from will appear in a pop-up box. Click the X next to each one you’d like to remove from this list. Removing someone or something from your list of hidden stories means those stories can appear in your news feed again.
* Click Save.

nice, but not really actionable for content producers…

This has shown not to be true.Facebook is holding your fans hostage. Only 25-33% of your fans are being reached for any given post, and the reason for it is that Facebook is expecting your to advertsie through them in order to ensure the rest of your fanbase is reached.

They’re not very secretive about it, either. Hover over any of your own posts on the page, and it will tell you how many people were reached by the post, and in the admin section, it tells you how you can reach the rest – by spending money.I posted a how-to in order for people to ensure their liked pages are seen, but it’s extensive, and it might be worth it for you to visit the page to notify your readers.Unfortunately, short of giving in to Facebook’s extortionate tactics, there’s nothing we can do about it anymore from a content producer’s standpoint. We’re at the mercy of the fans to seek us out daily.Anyway, the link to discover how to reach more people can be found at http://www.rockyourassoff.com/facebookhelp.
