I found out how you can lose social authority (and maybe more) on your website.
If you will read this post with 100% attention you will like it:
1. You need a ?utm_source
2. You need a full page cache add-on like Lesti_FpcResult ? Incredible.
If you enter mywebsite.com/product1 and you like the page you give social authority to right page.
If you enter mywebsite.com/product1?utm_source.... and you like the page you give social authority to ?utm_source....
Well, most of us did not see that, cause facebook ads like page work good even you use a ?utm_source....
But if you use a full page cache, you have the chance that you index (cache) the page of product with ?utm_sourceThat why, i write there: How i can lose likes from Facebook on a category page. Mystery solved. Anyway i found out a way to explain the Facebook button to write on correct page and not on ?utm_source page and i removed the full page cache at the moment.
If you do not believe me you can check your self here: https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/og/object/
Like your page without ?utm_source and like it with ?utm_sourceWith respect,

I've done Facebook ad campaigns and can definitely say that the likes don't go away when you turn them off.
You might try searching on the FB help community. You might be able to find someone having the same problem. (That's where I've been able to solve most of my FB problems.) There have definitely been times when FB's own reporting got screwed up, so it can be a check for that too.

Hey Erica, thank you for reply, and i am glad to hear answer from you. I usually read your posts on Moz.
But unfortunately , I have to contradict you. When we talk about a great number of likes , we can not put into account the possibility of mass unsubscribe or unlike/dislike. Chance for this to happen is too low. Even in a political showbiz likes will not acquire 0 (zero).
Somehow, not knowing how they(the likes) appeared again. You can check it here.
I have a bar in style of hellobar.com , and i can say mine is upgraded :))
We can leave this like a mystery, but in fact i have some theory about it. I think somehow they have great connection with paid campaigns on Facebook. Maybe someone who really care about SEM, can confirm that. If a campaign stop, likes gone away ?

You can definitely lose likes a couple ways: users can unlike it OR people who liked it have deleted or otherwise had their profile deleted by Facebook itself. It's so few that it's likely some user cleanup on Facebook's end. I wouldn't sweat it.

Facebook won't spend my ad budget. Any recommendations?
What do you do when Facebook won't spend your ad budget, no matter what you do or how high you bid? We've tested a large audience (2.2 million reach) under a single ad set versus many smaller ad sets with tighter targeting (50-150k reach). We've tested auto bidding versus manual bidding with bids as high as 1000% higher than Facebook's recommended bid. We've tested many versions of creative with and without text overlay and our relevance scores are high. Nothing seems to work. Our Facebook rep and Facebook technical support keep recommending to stay with one ad set and one ad, but that's not spending either. Most days we are getting less than 20% budget utilization. Has anyone experienced this situation before? Does anyone have any recommendations?

Merging Facebook Pages - Getting Support from Facebook
Does anyone know how to get in touch with Facebook regarding issues with Facebook Pages and Merging Pages - I have posted on the Facebook Community Help Pages but no one from Facebook Support seems to read them or get in touch. Anyone got any ideas of how to get help from Facebook? Our original question on Facebook Community Help Pages was this but the question just got "merged" with another question where people were complaining about the same sort of problem with no one (out of 5 people on the thread) having come up with a solution of having heard from Facebook Support. We need to merge two company pages - The category and the address of the company of the page is the same on both pages - one page has a custom url - one does not. Both have the same first two words (i.e. the company name) as the page title. I do not want to list the pages publicly. Is there a way a member of facebook support can message us privately to discuss this please.

This is a pain, one day I'll leave the digital game which then presents a problem for the next administrator, I mean i can hardly pass arounf my facebook user name & pasword. Then to add to the conundrum i hear the fix is to regioster a business account sound good so far but then you cant do this if you have a personal account... err WTF! So my question is what do socail media agencies do when they open facebook business pages, surely they are not ties to personal accounts? Any insights welcome,

Facebook: How do you post to a brand's page, as your own brand page?
Eg, if you are an administrator of "Funco" which has a FB page, how do you post on the wall of "Followerwonk" as "Funco", not your personal FB account?

SEO & Social | More SEO effect by liking the page URL rather than the Facebook Page?
SEOMoz Gurus, I am wondering what our best implementation strategy shoul dbe around linking up the Facebook Like button on our pages. Essentially there are two options: A) Linking the button directly to the Facebook Page of the web site so every Like is actually converting into a Facebook "Fan" which can be messaged going forward through our Facebook page. B) Having them like the actual URL which might be more beneficial from an SEO and viral perspective as now a link to the actual URL gets shared on the Liker's facebook wall and it should also be easier to use that lIke for Google & Co. as it's tied to the actual URL not a random Facebook page given that search engines already convert those signals. Both approaches obviously have their benefits. Are there any common guidelines on what is a better approach to take from a pure SEO perspective? Thanks /Thomas

Facebook Promotion Help
I am considering doing a iPad give away to gain more Facebook page likes. I have several questions running through my brain that I'm hopeful fellow Mozzers can help me with. I was thinking I'll give away an iPad for every 500 FB likes on our page...or $1.00 per like. If I get an abundance of likes will Google smile upon me? How do I track the entries? Are there any tools that can assist in getting the word out on this and or tracking it all? I'm kind of a FB newb!
