Facebook at it again
Have you checked your FaceBook Fan or Business Page yet?
When you created a post you will see the following
0 People Reached 0 Engagements Boost Post
I also noticed just now that with the section that states boost Post.
Many of my posts come up with boost unavailabe becasue they are shared. These shared posts are mine I shared from my personal FB account to my Fan Page to increase the viewers.
totally not fair
I just went on to my Facebook Fan page and noticed that all the figues I had with people reached and engagement have all be cleared to zero and it is not just recent ones.
i have scrolled back to May 2017 when this became part of the posts.
I have written to Facebook but as usual no response.
What are they up to now? Is this they way of trying to get you to paid to boost your posts but clearing all the details you have before?
No confidence with Facebook anymore they are a joke and getting worse.
Have you checked your details?
Let me know what you have found with your fan or business page please would love to hear also if you have heard anything about this.

I have not had any problems mainly because I have reached the 5 000 needed for my personal page to drive traffic to business pages, and I am having success
With Facebook you have to be constantly on build an audience, join communities where you can share your work free and engage engage
By commenting a lot on posts
People always have ways to beat Facebook. Just join communities and all your problems will be solved.
Hope this helps
I wrote meaning now I am on Facebook everyday and I have a good following and know that Facebook has changed its algorithms but if you say so
All the best
Thank Jenna but it is only Facebook not really a big deal there are other social medai place where you can do better. They are already losing many people perhaps one day that Karma will be upon them for all the quiet aspects they do without letting us know.
But as I said all good the main thing I have the connection with those that matter.

Aloha Andre
Yes. This is true! As soon as I have more energy I will go more into social media. I'm pretty newbe at that field.
Much Pono, Love and Light to you!
Aloha back to you!

Have just checked my FB professional page and the numbers are all there. Did some paid advertising with them the other day to see if I could improve traffic to my site. It did as I was able to see the surge via Google Analytics. Maybe they appreciate a bit of paid advertising from time to time.
Alister
Well they won't get any paid advertising from me last time I did that I just got bots to bloat the numbers.
Even the paid advertising I did with them before show all details as zero.
Hey Andre,
Well I'm never sure what Facebook is up to either! I think usually not much good for us, but always with the thought of how they can make more money.
I've never had too much luck with sharing on my personal page when it comes to posting things from my websites. But, I've been sharing my posts on my fan/business pages first, along with sharing others that are relevant to the niche and had a little more success at getting noticed. I'll also then like and share these to my personal page afterwards as myself...seems like so far I still have the number of people reached and engagements showing on my fan/business pages...so far, but guess I'll see if that will change tomorrow. Ugh, Facebook!
The ones that I've shared from other pages related to my niche, I see the "no boost available" as well. But, since these aren't my posts, I wouldn't want to boost them anyways. I just share them because I figure people would find them interesting and they're related to the niches of those pages. Anyways, that really stinks that they cleared all your past data on these...not sure what point they're trying to make by doing that to you.
So, maybe like you already mentioned you did in a comment below, see what happens when you just share it to your fan page first. Hopefully, you'll get some better results, but who knows with FB. Good luck!
Best wishes :) ~Sherry
Thank Sherry most of what I share in from my content at times I will post on the fan page first then share at other times from my FB page and share to my fan page never had any issues until now.
There are some content I share only via my fan page when I first started and at that time I even took their offer of paid advertising even those ones have the details taken out.
Plus I check my page and there are no violations either
Very strange things going on for sure! I wonder if it is a glitch of some sorts...hopefully it'll get sorted out for you soon. Keep us posted on the results...wondering too, maybe commenting on other related pages or groups would help some...I occasionally comment on other's pages as my page as well, along with sharing their page's posts when I have time to do so.
Thanks will just have to wait and see hopefully it is just a glitch as others are not having the same issue.
Still doesn't take the fact that Facebook do too many lets say sneaky things in the back office.
the new agenda is taking place Worldwide! some country has already stopped social Media share much more than that!
I believe that is part of the new order and the rest, there's an uproar in the people that are trying to protect the freedom of speech true the internet as an assembly it's meeting on how to control and revision the Internet way to be used! Sadly we can not do much as Democracy today is not what stand for! and I stop here now....
have a good day!
yeah! you get the point.... at the end probably it be only Anonymous share wide world the ...stories
Sorry to hear about that Andre. I will check my Facebook out. Getting in touch with Facebook is almost impossible isn't it
Yes it is thinking they are saying you don't pay to boost your content we won't show you who has visited. But why take all the old details out.
Thanks, Andre. I just posted a question about a problem I am having and have got a couple of responses so far. It looks like I am not alone with my problems.
Joe
Yes Joe not sure what they are playing at but not happy with them.
I just re did one old post I had there but this time did it just on the fan page and not shared it anywhere else interesting to see what happens with that.
I have mixed feelings about Facebook.Some of the posts I created generated links.For $10.00 I got 18 links on one of the posts. This is cheaper than Bing.Other recent post just generated 1 link for $10.00 but hundreds of links to the photo and about 12 shares.For now I give them the benefit of the doubt but I am not sure how to gauge the results. No sales so far but I will try them a few more times. The statistics of previous boosts are available to see .
Yes as for the statistics none of mine are there to see they all have been cleared to zero even all the old ones where I had many stats.
That are getting or are too big for their boots just like Google both need to be taken down more than a notch.
I agree... I have been trying to see what other social media platforms would be good to advertise on. Right now I am on Pinterest and Twitter but that is it. I have a Facebook account but I don't have anything on it at all. And Google is being a few colorful words I can't use right now... Ridiculous!
Pinterest, YouTube and Twitter are the best at the moment
I can certainly hear the words you can't use and I am sure many others have silently said them as well.
You are not alone with that.
Wishing you well the main thing is to focus on the training and writing great content for the benefit of your readers. Social media is a benefit or boost not essential if your content is good and you post consistently

Hi,
I have been using Facebook to gather followers then direct them to my blog. I have been paying them $1 per day to advertise my page to targeted people. After 4 to 5 months of doing this I now broke the 500 follower milestone. I also notice that if I boost my post with link to my website, my blog traffic spikes.
As per your problem,
First of all,
0 People Reached 0 Engagements Boost Post
How many people liked your page? Organic posts will only be shown to 2%-10% of your followers. If you want more people to see your post then you need to "boost"
Second,
Boost Unavailable
Do you link back to your blog or do you post an affiliate link? Affiliate links will not be boosted by Facebook.
Hopefully that clarifies things. Facebook Page is a very powerful tool (yet expensive) to drive traffic to your blog.
Regards,
JG
All of the above links back to the blog, sharing direct from the website, affiliate links and even just general sharing of other things nothing to do with my website all have the same result.
They have all be taken down all the stats back to zero results where I have the results showing the other day.
Seems to be a good strategy! Thank you for sharing, JG!
Aloha, Jenna
