Starting with – What is Facebook\u2019s Objective?<\/b><\/p>\n

Facebook\u2019s number one objective is to connect people and to select the most relevant and engaging stories to show in the News Feed. \u00a0As quoted by Mark Zuckerberg \u201cWe built Facebook to help people stay connected and bring us closer together with the people that matter to us\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Facebook wants to show the best content out of the several thousand pieces of content that could appear in your News Feed every day, and put those post in the first few sloths that you will actually browse through within a day.<\/span><\/p>\n

These posts get ranked and shown in order of importance, from big stuff like your friends’ wedding, or Memes that 10 of your friends are commenting on, to your favourite brand content that you interact with often. <\/span><\/p>\n

The more engaging the content, the more you\u2019re likely to come back to Facebook and it can better accomplish its mission of connecting people while also earning revenues from ads. <\/span><\/p>\n

So how exactly does the Facebook algorithm work in 2018? <\/b><\/h2>\n

Below are a few top factors that Facebook\u2019s algorithm takes into consideration when deciding what to show on your feed –<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Comments<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

In his recent announcement, Zuckerberg quoted, \u201cPages making posts that people generally don\u2019t react to or comment on could see the biggest decreases in distribution. Pages whose posts prompt conversations between friends will see less of an effect.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

This means you are most likely to see content from the friends and pages you interact with. <\/span><\/p>\n

2. Reactions<\/b><\/p>\n

If you take the time to hit the \u201clove\u201d icon vs. the \u201clike\u201d icon, that content will receive a minor boost in the News Feed. The same goes for all Facebook\u2019s reactions. Facebook wants to see those \u201cactive\u201d emotions.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Comment replies<\/b><\/p>\n

The latest algorithm not only favours comments but also replies that are present in the comments. This signifies that a piece of content on the internet is encouraging conversations with people.<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Sharing content over Messenger to a group of friends<\/b><\/p>\n

Messenger plays an important role too in this procedure. It directly increases the chances to see one of the posts by that person on your wall.<\/span><\/p>\n

5. Engagement on shares<\/b><\/p>\n

While sharing a post is a pretty \u201cactive\u201d interaction compared to most, Facebook has gone one step further. Simply getting shares is not enough. It is important to get share and engagement on that share to be prioritized in the algorithm.<\/span><\/p>\n
