Why your Facebook traffic has slowed down. Jan 23, 2014 13:12:38 GMT

OK, so I've been involved in a few twitter chats lately and this keeps coming up - that people's blog Facebook page tend to get next to no traffic. Even if they have loads of likes. I have 2700 likes on my page and I'm lucky if I get any views/likes at all!

From what I understand, Facebook has basically changed the way it shows your content to your fans, and has reduced the number of your fans it shows it to. Unless you pay. Which is rubbish when you are a blogger and want to share content/posts and not sell something!

I did read somewhere that everything you post only gets sent to 0.5-2.5% of your fans feed.

Has anyone else noticed a massive decline in Facebook engagement?

(I feel a blog post coming on!)

I've noticed it massively on my music page on there. I used to get so much traffic, but since it's changed and you have to pay to put it out to all of your likes, my views and my traffic has decreased in droves! Very annoying!

And if people pay to advertise and get likes, they'll have to keep paying to make sure their investment is worth it!

It was cool in 2006 when it was just my uni friends on there! Now my friends dog even has it's own page.

Also you have to remember that people are actually leaving Facebook in high amounts, there's not the appeal for that method of social media anymore. I know at one point it was loosing 9 million users in the UK and US along monthly last year.
