ArtSites Updates

Last week, Facebook made an "update" that you probably should know about.

In essence, Facebook has made yet another change to their "algorithm" (which is a fancy way of saying their "formula" ;-) that determines which posts get shown on your (and your friends / network's) news feed!

In short, going forward, personal posts from your "friends" will have more weight and be shown more often than posts from Facebook Pages.

Since this is a very new change, it's not 100% clear of the impact.

That said, Facebook does seem to be moving towards "encouraging" Facebook Page authors and small businesses - like you and us - to pay to get exposure.

Now, this isn't the death toll of Facebook Pages, but you may notice a decrease in views of your Facebook Page posts.

So, you may want to start posting announcements, status updates, etc. from BOTH your personal Facebook account and your "official" Facebook Page.

I simply wanted to mention this to you since we all have limited time and you need to think about the benefits vs. the costs of maintaining and managing your Facebook Page, especially if you're not getting the "attention" you want! ;-)

I'll be sure to keep you posted on any future developments! :-)

And, if you're interested, here's the official Facebook announcement with all the details!

(As some of you may have noticed, I don't spend much time on our ArtSites Facebook Page anymore. This is because, for the effort I was spending, we weren't getting the results to make it worthwhile. ;-)
