Facebook Edge Rank Algorithm

• Affinity measures the one-

way relationship that a fan has

with a Facebook Brand Page

they have “liked”.

• Weight measures how much

interaction/engagement a

current Facebook post is

receiving. (1.Shares

2.Comments 3.Likes)

• Decay: The longer a post has

been up, the less likely it is to

get seen. The very second it’s

posted, it’s decaying. (Sad but

true.)

Facebook wants to ensure that its users are seeing content that is relevant to them. That is

the main purpose of the site. If the content is interesting and engaging, a user will stay on the

site longer, and thus increase their chances of clicking on a sidebar advertisement.

6 ways to improve your Facebook EdgeRank

1. Add photos to each post

2. Post at the right time of day

3. Ask for interaction (Like if you agree! Comment if you

disagree! Share please! What do you think?)

4. Think outside the work week (Post on Saturdays and

Sundays. Use Facebook planning tools!)

5. Be relevant (People go on Facebook to have fun, to

interact with friends and family – all in real time. Keep an

eye on what people are interested in, talking about and

thinking about – watch competition for ideas)

6. When in doubt, post a graphic. Graphics featuring

inspirational quotes or fun pics are sometimes starting

the engagement on a stale Facebook Page.
