Comment Facebook vous fourgue des likes bidon$

Vous ne vous êtes jamais demandé pourquoi votre timeline parait de moins en moins active?
Pourquoi vos publications sont si peu vues?

La faute au filtrage de Facebook et au business des Click Farms en Inde Bangladesh Pakistan...
Y compris sur les likes que vous ciblez avec vos campagnes...

Evidence Facebook's revenue is based on fake likes.
My first vid on the problem with Facebook: http://bit.ly/1dXudqY
I know first-hand that Facebook's advertising model is deeply flawed. When I paid to promote my page I gained 80,000 followers in developing countries who didn't care about Veritasium (but I wasn't aware of this at the time). They drove my reach and engagement numbers down, basically rendering the page useless. I am not the only one who has experienced this. Rory Cellan-Jones had the same luck with Virtual Bagel:http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-...

The US Department of State spent $630,000 to acquire 2 million page likes and then realized only 2% were engaged.http://wapo.st/1glcyZo

I thought I would demonstrate that the same thing is still happening now by creating Virtual Cat (http://www.facebook.com/MyVirtualCat). I was surprised to discover something worse - false likes are coming from everywhere, including Canada, the US, the UK, and Australia. So even those carefully targeting their campaigns are likely being duped into spending real money on fake followers. Then when they try to reach their followers they have to pay again.

And it's possible to be a victim of fake likes without even advertising. Pages that end up on Facebook's "International Suggested Pages" are also easy targets for click-farms seeking to diversify their likes. http://tnw.co/NsflrC

Thanks to Henry, Grey, and Nessy for feedback on earlier drafts of this video.

Les Hashtags pour les nuls


Peur de ne pas avoir l'air assez branché Réseaux Sociaux?
En voici quelques uns qui peuvent vous être utiles.

#RT : Retweet. A glisser au début du tweet que vous souhaitez republier sur votre flux : il signifie que vous n’êtes pas l’auteur du message original. La courtoisie demande tout de même de citer l’initiateur du tweet !

#LRT : Last Retweet ou Retweet précédent. Si vous voulez commenter le tweet que vous venez de retweeter.

#TL : Tweet-list ou Timeline. Il s’agit de l’intégralité des messages des personnes que vous suivez. Certains l’appellent aussi le flux, tout simplement.

#LT : Live-tweet. A ne pas confondre avec #TL ! Il s’agit d’un compte rendu détaillé, minute par minute d’un événement auquel vous assistez… Ou d’un programme que vous regardez ! Les plus célèbres sont sans aucun doute les live-tweets de l’Amour est dans le pré, ou #ADP pour les twittos !

#FF : Follow Friday. C’est l’un des hashtags qui revient le plus fréquemment. Tous les vendredis, vous pouvez conseiller à votre #TL (Tweet-list ou Timeline, pour ceux qui n’auraient pas suivi) des comptes à suivre comme celui de @marieclaire_fr par exemple…

#TGIF : Thanks God It’s Friday, ou Dieu merci, c’est vendredi ! A utiliser pour signaler votre joie d’être –presque- en week-end !

#Jeudiconfession : Envie d’avouer un petit secret vous concernant ? C’est le jeudi que cela se passe grâce à ce hashtag !

#ThrowbackThursday : Le retour en arrière du jeudi. C’est l’occasion de publier une ancienne photo sur Twitter ou Instagram, comme le fait régulièrement Kim Kardashian par exemple.

#OOTD : Outfit of the day, ou tenue du jour. Un hashtag spécialement créé par et pour les modeuses qui aiment poster leur look du jour sur les réseaux sociaux ! Existe aussi dans les dérivations #NOTD pour Nails of the day (Manucure du jour), #SOTH pour Shoes of the day (Chaussures du jour), etc…

#JDCJDR : Je dis ça, je dis rien. Un hashtag un peu ironique à glisser quand on fait une remarque à quelqu’un…

#LesGens : Un hashtag ironique également, qui vise à critiquer un groupe de personne. Par exemple : « Les gens qui racontent leur vie sur Twitter #Lesgens »

#PornFood : Les utilisateurs des réseaux sociaux, Instagram en particulier, aiment beaucoup étaler les photos de leurs plus belles créations culinaires… Le hashtag #PornFood ou #Foodporn vient illustrer un plat tellement beau qu’on n’oserait presque pas le manger !

#Sachezle : A utiliser pour énoncer un fait important, que tout le monde devrait connaitre. Par exemple : « Le compte @marieclaire_fr est le plus important à suivre, #sachezle ! »

#Insta : Instafat, Instamiam, Instamanucure… Tout hashtag commençant par #insta symbolise un instant de vie capturé. A nous de le compléter avec le suffixe adéquat !
