Eight Ways to first appear in the Facebook News Feed

Did you know your Facebook wall does not show all the posts that publish all your friends all the time? Yeah. If you click here on Home, see your mural will show messages with dates sparse. It may even be that the most "recent" already has more than 10 hours.


Huh ... So that means none of my friends or the pages I have published nothing short this time? None. What happens is that by default Facebook only shows you what "he thinks the coolest." Hi? In fact, not what he thinks cooler, but what he thinks is more likely that you enjoy or comment. The site claims that the number of publications is such that if you saw all that all the millions of users post, would lose some of the best posts because it just was not looking at the time.

But wait ... Because Facebook knows what I like? A-ha! To work on the relevance to users of the site, Facebook uses an algorithm within a system that calls itself EdgeRank. This system classifies all posts published based on three criteria: popularity, relevance and time.

To be ranked higher in EdgeRank and consequently appear in the first wall of people, your post has to be the best in three categories: having clicks, tanned and comments in the post today, clicks, tanned and comments in past posts, and to be recent. That is: the older and your post is ignored, unless it appears on the wall of people.

And why must I be the first users of the mural? Well, if you are a person who does not use Facebook for purposes of career advancement or personal, do not. But if you want people to see their posts to sell, communicate or even launch a brand, then you need and then worry about EdgeRank Facebook.
