What is Facebook Live

7. Newsfeed is the first thing you see
when you land on a page. It’s filled with
status updates, photos, videos, links,
app activity, likes from people, Pages
and groups you may follow.

8. Facebook has a “Newsfeed Quality Panel” that
deciphers and decides which stories appear in
each user’s newsfeed using different types of
code. Basically, Facebook’s algorithm hides
boring stories – if your story doesn’t score well,
no one will see it.

9. Engagement is when a user interacts on a Page such as
liking a post, clicking on a link, commenting on an image,
or sharing the post.
Facebook Insights, engagement is defined as post clicks,
likes, shares and comments.

Total Reach is the number of unique people who saw your
posts, regardless of where they saw it.
