      My page has 11,000 spammed page likes.  Only 250 are legitimate.  These spammers are leaving 1 star ratings.  Facebook is limiting the number of likes I can delete.  I can report some fake ratings as spam but, again, facebook is limiting what I see.  Any suggestions on how to proceed?


      Update:

      I found a work around for the negative ratings/reviews.

      I can change the category of my page to "other community" to remove the rating system from the page https://www.facebook.com/changeratings/posts/445471405558046.  That still leaves me with 11,000 illegitimate likes that are stealing away from my 250 legitimate fans from seeing our posts.  Should I start over?

        Wow, that's good to know about getting blocked! But sorry to hear that you had to learn the hard way.

          Yup.  Same here.

          We are starting over from scratch.  After deleting 15 or so likes, Facebook blocked us for several days from being able to delete any more.

          I haven't had any success finding another solution

          Please share if you find any other information.  I'm dumbfounded.

            I've had a similar issue - haven't sourced a solution.  Also, I noticed even when you change the page to a 'community' page so remove the 'review' option - the old negative reviews still show via Facebook mobile app.  Did you also have this issue?

              Hi Michael

              This video is going viral: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oVfHeWTKjag

              It "should" be time before Facebook comes out and gives you so option to mass remove likes. I would since this is all just coming to the surface. Wait a bit and see if Facebook comes out with:

              1. A mass removal tool

              2. Takes care of it itself

              3. Or doesn't do anything, at that point maybe its worth starting over, but then again what good is it if these spammers find your page and spam again?

              Hope this helps!

                So I couldn't find anyway to remove likes that wasn't super manual. Looks like generally Facebook notices what's up and then deletes them all as spam accounts. I'd consider starting over, especially with that few likes. Unless you really need that brand name. I did find a how-to on creating a macro in order to remove likes. Not sure how well it works, so beware.

                  Facebook doesn't "read" pages: 206 responsecode: Could not retrieve data from URL

                  Hello, Since shortly, every page of our website ecoheating.be doesn't get "read" by Google. So when you paste a page in Facebook, he doesn't get the title, description, image... FB Debugger says there's a 206 Error code (check attachment). A lot of changes are done the last weeks on this site so perhaps something is misconfigured. But what could this be? I've already check the htaccess and nothing there... Thanks, 0cphxGt

                  We got 10,000 facebook likes overnight from people in another country. WHY? How do I get rid of them?

                  Our facebook page http://www.facebook.com/MobileAttic received more than 10,000 likes over night.  We only had about 250 likes prior to this. I know this hurts our engagement numbers as well as limits real customers / community from seeing our posts. Is there any way to get our fans down to a real "non-spammed" number?

                  Why isn't my Facebook page showing up in search results?

                  When I search directly for imageworks creative facebook page on Google, I get many results - some of which are not mine and some of which are listings from other citation sites like Manta.  I did a site: search and I do see that the page is indexed by Google, but it's pretty important that we get a better ranking than we currently have! This is the Facebook url: https://www.facebook.com/ImageWorksCreative As part of our rebranding, we did have the URL changed from /imageworksstudio, but that was well over a month ago.  I feel as though Google should have caught up by now. Any thoughts on how we can get our FB profile onto the front page?

                  How do I track my Facebook page rank?

                  Hey guys, Probably a newbie question, but I'm wondering if there's a way to track Facebook (or other offsite profiles that I own) pagerank along with my domain? I'm working on a project right now where I noticed we're not on the front page for our search term, but our Facebook page is. It would just be helpful to have that info for a more complete SEO picture. Thanks!
                  Mike

                  Youtube SEO: Does your channel name / user name matter?

                  My predecessor left me a gift of what is arguably the worst kind of Youtube channel name: Our company's name condensed to an acronym with some additional gibberish that may or may not have meant something to her. In short: Our channel name will never be searched for, will never provide any ranking boost. Now our Youtube success has been very marginal so far: 31 subscribers, 7,300 video views. Given that situation, should I seriously consider scrapping my channel and starting  something new with a keyword targeted channel name? Or does channel name matter so little that I should hold on to my 7300 video views?
