Facebook Newsfeed Changes: Reach, Referral Traffic Depend On Sharing Habits; Closer Family Ties Best For Now
ByFacebook officially rolled out a new news feed platform for the users. However, numerous Facebook users made negative impressions about the changes.
When Facebook changed things up in the past week, reportedly, it was not warmly accepted when presented to a number of users, New Yorker reported.
Mark Zuckerberg, founder and CEO of Facebook, along with his staff of workers, however, are unlikely to change their minds in reverting the news feed back to its previous platform regardless of how many complaints come forth.
The Facebook news feed tweak reduces page exposure to favor more updates and information from family and friends. With the recent changes, it will now filter posts from businesses and celebrity pages. While thousands shared that it may cause reach and referral traffic to decline for some pages, Facebook defended the changes by saying that everything will still depend on the sharing habits of the audience.
Facebook have recently recommended the page managers to continue posting information that are likely to be shared by their followers. According to the social networking site, this is the best way of keeping an organic reach going to their pages and help keep their pages showing up in personal news feeds on Facebook.

While this may change the way things look for users on a daily basis, there are still ways of seeing all the posts and pages they like but they may have to work at it, Fool reported.
