Promotions are dominating the Facebook Top Posts of last week

24/09/2013

We knew it: Since Facebook changed their Promotion Guidelines Promotions dominate the Facebook Top Posts. So we saw it last week. A lot of the Top Posts asking the users to like or comment on their post to get the chance to win a prize.

But what changed exactly in the guidelines? Promotions on Facebook had to be administered through apps before. Now, they may be administered on Page timelines as well. What that means for Page administrators you read here.

To help you pick a winner we invented the Fanpage Karma Good Luck Fairy

Just go to the Fanpage Kar ma Good Luck Fairy page, enter the URL of your Facebook post and click “identify winners” and here you go! The system will pick one winner at random from the likes, one from the comments, one from the likes and comments combined and one among the comments who had the most votes on her comment.

And a supercool add-on for all Page administrators: you get the names of all people which commented or liked the post as a handy Excel sheets including the full Facebook name and a link to the profile.

The Good Luck Fairy is super easy to use and it’s free. Try it now here.

Have a great week and enjoy the English Facebook Top Posts of last week!

Calculated by Likes, Comments and Shares per fan by Fanpage Karma.

Pray for help with forgiving the tougher situations and relationships. When you release old toxic anger, you are doing a huge favor for yourself. Forgiveness doesn’t mean: ‘What you did was okay.’ It simply means you are no longer willin…

This story will make your day. It made ours. When Joey Prusak saw a customer at the Dairy Queen store where he works pick up a visually impaired customer’s $20 bill and slip it into her purse, he refused to serve her unless she returned the money. When she refused, the 19-year-old store manager gave the man who didn’t know he’d dropped the money $20 out of his own pocket. http://at.wftv.com/…
