I recently got my ‘talking about this’ up to 700% by using these theories.
Question: I have never seen another Page up this high, my page hovers around 80% ‘talking about’ and once in a while goes up to 200-300% (and once to 700%).
I have been looking and have not seen another Page that gets 80-700% engagement (talking about) rates, is this that unusual? Debbie

Facebook is really an effective social media platform to use when advertising. But other people tend to abuse it like spamming, that’s why they never get the edgerank they’ve been wanting. :)

Chad,
Thanks for writing this post! Facebook is constantly misunderstood by many of my clients and prospects. Most don’t see beyond increase the numbers.

Don’t feel compelled to reply to EVERYTHING. But a few targeted responses can keep conversation (and edgerank) going. Treat it like a normal conversation. You might ask two people in a group of 20 a question, but you would not ask all 20 a question at the same time. Take the most compelling comments and try to generate a couple more comments or a longer discussion around them.

Is it necessary for Goliath to do something before David does it?

Sure. But if I ask a question on my page (almost 13,000 fans) like “what’s your child’s favorite bed-time story” and I get 85 book titles, is it good form to just go through and like everyone of them, and also say “Wow, great book!” “Awesome book” “That’s another good one” , etc…? I’m just curious if this is best practice, I never see large companies doing this.

That’s easy. Think Fortune 100 firms with high number of fans and frequent conversations. Starbucks, for starters.

Rick, you’re a person. If you go out of your way to like a company page, and you ask that company a question in a comment about something they wrote, wouldn’t you want a response?
