FB Page Admins: 12 posts/day shows high interaction

I agree but i saw there are pages like Mashable
they are posting more than 12 posts/day and they are having very good
interaction by their fans/site visitors. I think posting frequency also
matter but the importance of having unique and generic content also
matter.

I’m having a hard time believing that my audience would like 12 posts from me a day. There’s another consultant that I follow only because we are directly competitive and that page posts at least 8 times a day. My reaction is frequently, “When do you work? Go get a life!”. I’ll stick closer to Dan Zarella’s data of .5 times per day. (Once your audience gets used to high frequency, they’ll stick around because it’s more reminiscent of your friends that talk too much rather than a brand. I still think it’s dangerously too high.)

If 12 posts/day gets a LOT of interaction, then I believe you’re counting “Unlikes/Unsubscribes” as interaction!

If I see a page posting too much, I hide that page from my feed. And I’m not alone in hiding noisy pages.

1 post per day is the most optimal in Facebook Pages. See here: http://blog.kissmetrics.com/science-of-social-timing-1/

Wow if I got 12 postings a day from one of the pages I have fanned I would either “unlike” them or hide their posts.  Even 8 times a day seems excessive.  I had a lot to say on one day, posted about 4 times and lost 4 fans through over posting.  Once a day - early morning works best for my fans it seems.

Ive been teaching this in my classes for a few years now!!! When your base is worldwide, you want to touch all of them.  I see it on my own page.   The more I post, the more chatter there is on the page!  12 may be quite a bit for some…but if you are being hidden because some find you irritating, then they aren’t there to learn or experience what you have to offer.  You’d never make any money from them anyway…let them go.

I’d agree with the findings re people ‘unliking’ if I post more than twice in  day

I would like to see this data broken down by industry, size of Page, and type of content. When examining the impact on EdgeRank, I don’t care as much about recency. There is very little recency value difference between a post from 2 hours ago vs a post from 36 hours ago. I care more about the affinity score. If a Page posts 2x/day, and a user engages twice with that content, that will be a terrific affinity score! If a Page posts 12x/day, and a user engages twice with that content, that will damage the affinity score.

Takeaway: If you’re going to post 12x/day, make sure each post is worthy of user engagement and interaction!

I too have a hard time believing this.  Speaking personally 12 posts a day from a business page (that is not news or social media business info) on my News Feed would annoy me!  Looking at it from an Admin of Business Pages - Clients could not afford and certainly would not pay for 12 posts 5 days a week……I also agree with the comment - it would be interesting to see the industry, size of page and type of content.  News Pages, of course 12 a day is fine - The Medical Page I post to - not so much……..Interesting info though.

I agree with most of the comments below.  This study does not take into account quality of content with posts, something that *cannot* be ignored. More important than anything: Relevant posts w/ engaging personality, using peak times for traffic.  Additionally, as I manage both small and larger-sized pages, I’ve come to the conclusion that if you have fewer fans, you want to post less because you don’t want to spread out interaction — people will be more likely to interact if they see a larger number of people already interacting, if that makes any sense.

Good post!  I must agree with the majority of comments here, 12 posts per day is too high, quality of content is way better than quantity… 1 -2 beneficial posts at peak time is sufficient.

I agree with previous comments.  What pages did you study?  What types of companies were they?  How many followers do they have?  And so on.  Twelve posts a day is going to be viewed by most FB users as spam, I’m afraid you’re going to have to give more details to back this up.

We’re testing different scenario and let see what will be work.

Every business having different products and different strategies and first of all we need to have generic content and then we need to test different timings.

If you monitor your FB (both personal and fan) pages you can come to the conclusion that people log in at different times each day. Social networking is not a 9 to 5, so if you post several times a day (it can be the same post on a fan page) you are more likely to reach more of you audience regardless of the industry.
