Leveraging • EdgeRank 88% of Facebook users who join your fan page never return to the actual page A typical post reaches only about 17% of your fans A Facebook post typically lives for about 3 hours Comments are about 4x more valuable than Likes Facebook tracks everything to determine affinity
“edgerank” • Facebook EdgeRank formula is Affinity x Weight x Time Decay. • Affinity x Weight x Time Decay • edgerank = affinity x weight x time decay Affinity X Weight X Time Decay
Example 1: • Your brand posts a message. One of your fans, with lots of friends. • 1. Facebook scores "edges." • A. because the fan in the past, might have clicked on all your messages and been on your page numerous times, there is a high degree of affinity between you and the fan. For that reason, the affinity score might be 5. • B. There is a link in the post which may have weight score of 3. • C. The post is a day old, so let's say the age score is 2. • D. Total edge score is 5 * 3 * 2 = 30 • E. There is only one edge, so the total object score is 30. • 2. As the fan logs into FB, FB will score all posts in a similar way and put the top-scoring posts at the top of the feed and/or in "highlighted stories" • If your post, with a score of 30, is one of the top-scoringposts, you will show near the top of the fan's news feed.
Add another edge, Example 2: • The fan, from last example, makes a comment on your post. The fan's friend logs in. Will the friend see your post? • 1. By making a comment, the fan added an edge to the post. • 2. Now FB needs to rank two edges. First edge: • A. Affinity between friend and your brand = 1(very low) • B. Weight of your post = 3 (from last example) • C. Time decay = 2 • D. Edge score of first edge: 1 * 3 * 2 = 6 • 3. Second edge (fan's comment) • A. Affinity between friend and fan = 7 (high) • B. Weight of a comment, say 5 • C. Time decay = 4 (friend logged in quickly after comment). • D. Edge score of second edge: 7 * 5 * 4 = 140 • Total object EdgeRank score becomes: 6 + 140 = 146 • Recorded, monitored and impacts your future scores.
