Nonetheless, usage, loyalty, and buzz around the brand remained relatively high.

This fileset contains a series of screenshots taken from our facebook advertising account. A few days ago we noticed that some negative "SEO" tactics, for lack of a better term, were having a negative impact on the performance of ads and fan engagement on the facebook page that we've been building.

I developed a custom software package, which utilizes nueural networks I've developed, to identify a target demographic, and suggest advertising content for said target demographic.

After a short training period we were able to create advertisemsents on facebook that averaged a cost of 0.01 cents per like. We also had a fan page engagement of nearly 4 times that of major brands like Wal-Mart.

Shortly after we began to obtain success we started noticing problems with our page. Since we have a stalker issue, we determined that the issues with our page were likely related to him.

We assued this because we had a disproportinately high number of spammy, negative, and inapporpriate comments on our posts. Offline harassment of our staff by the stalker also increased significantly during this time.

Curiously, we believe that the incident with the stalker allowed us to ascertain some interesting observations about Facebook's algorithims, which I've outlined below.

We believe, after reseraching this issue, that Facebook's algorithims suffer from the following issues:

1. They are easily gamed. We think that Facebook's algorithims are hypersensitive to negative comments being made on a post, and conversely likely positive ones as well. If a post is hidden, the comments are negative, or if a user interacts with the post negatively in some way, then Facebook's algorithims will "punish" your page.

2. We think that a series of scripted fake bot accounts would easily cause the issues that we've been expriencing.

As you can see from the data provided, over 90% of our likes come from paid facebook advertisement, therefore we do not have a significant number of fake accounts on our page brought in by third party advertising because we didn't do any of that.

Moreover, we did not send any of our fans obtained via mailing lists, or offline contact to our facebook page, those fans participate with us via email and/or through our private Google+ community.

So it is safe to say that our problems have not been caused by purchasing a large amount of fake likes from any third party vendor.

In addition, because our likes were gained very quickly, at a rate of about 2.5k likes a day, we do not believe that we have suffered from changes in the general demographic of our Facebook fan base over time.

Yet almost immediately after we started expericing trolling issues with our page, we also noticed a dip in the number of fans our posts were shown to by Facebook, and the performance of our ads began to go down, even though the content on our page had not changed.

We attributed this to holes in Facebook's algorithims, and potentially to the excessive use of fake bot accounts by Facebook itself.

We cannot prove the latter satement, but there have been similar reports before. Reference - http://www.forbes.com/sites/davidthier/2012/08/01/facebook-investigating-claims-that-80-of-ad-clicks-come-from-bots/

This article from Forbes outlines how one startup company repoted that up to 80% of their Facebook likes were fake bot accounts even though they paid for advertising directly through Facebook.

Our reserach suggests that Facebook's advertising platform functions as follows: - An advertiser pays for likes with Facebook, and the quality of the content on their page is initially assessed by those who are liking the page, but once the page obtains a following, we believe that the quality of the content is assessed by how many people like the posts on the page directly after they are posted.

If a post gets hidden, marked as spammed, skipped over, whatever, then we beleive that Facebook kicks that post out of the newsfeeds. If this happens to a significant number of posts on the page, then we believe that Facebook places the page on an advertising black-list.

Once on this black-list ads will begin to perform poorly, and content will drop out of newsfeeds causing even the most active page to go silent.

We tested this by posting pictures of attractive blond women, which with our demographic would have normally obtained a large number of likes and we struggled to get even 10 likes at over 20k page likes when we would have previosuly obtained almost 100 likes without boosting at only 5k page likes.

Why this probably isn't seen more often: In most cases this probably takes a while to occur as pages become old and fans grow bored, but in our case, because we have a stalker trolling our page with what appears to be hundres of scripted bot accounts, the effect was seen immediately.

Our data suggests that it became a tug of war between our stalker's army of fake bot accounts (making spammy comments, hiding our posts from newsfeeds, etc) and the real fans that actually like our page (who were voting our conent up - i.e. liking it, etc).

If you look at the graph of page likes in the figures provided - you can see that the darker purple are the fans we obtained via facebook advertising, well over 90%. We believe that the light purple (the "organic" fans) is mostly comprised of our stalker's fake drone accounts. We have less than 20 family members and friends liking our page, when we began this experiment we asked them not to interact with our page or the content.

In conclusion: We still have a lot more work to do, but it is highly likely that many Facebook likes are either scripted bots, and/or that Facebook's "weighting" algorithims are very suceptible to gaming via negative "SEO" tactics. Conversely, they are likely sensitive to gaming via positive "SEO" tactics as well.

Of course we cannot say for certain where the Facebook accounts that like a page come from without acess to their internal systems, but the evidence does strongly suggest that Facebook might be plagued with a large quantity of bot accounts, and that their algorithim has to be sensitive to actions from live users, so that the quality of the content can be easily ascertained. Otherwise it would be pretty easy for an advertiser to game Facebook's system by paying for, and getting, a large quantity of likes for content that is not appealing to any significant group of people.

Again we have to reiterate that we have no solid proof of this, but our data strongly suggests that this is the case.

We have reported the issues to Facebook, but interestingly, after we made it clear that we were going to analyze and investigate the issues with our page, we have been suddenly and incessently plagued with a never ending stream of "technical difficulties" related to our advertising account.

Ecommerce Social Media Market Outlook

The global ecommerce social media market size was valued at approximately USD 48.3 billion in 2023 and is projected to reach a staggering USD 157.4 billion by 2032, growing at an impressive CAGR of 14.1% during the forecast period. This remarkable growth can be attributed to the increasing integration of social media platforms with ecommerce functionalities, which has revolutionized the way businesses interact with customers and market their products.

A significant growth factor for the ecommerce social media market is the ubiquitous presence of social media platforms in daily life. Social media has become a critical channel for businesses to reach their target audience, engage with customers, and drive sales. The massive user base of platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter provides businesses with an unparalleled opportunity to market products and services more effectively. Moreover, technological advancements such as AI and machine learning are enhancing personalized customer experiences, thereby driving higher engagement and conversion rates.

Another major driver is the shift in consumer behavior towards online shopping. The convenience, variety, and competitive pricing offered by ecommerce platforms are attracting more consumers to shop online. Social media platforms are playing a pivotal role in this shift by offering features like shoppable posts, in-app purchases, and targeted advertisements. These features not only simplify the purchasing process but also make it more engaging and personalized. As consumers spend more time on social media, businesses are leveraging these platforms to enhance customer engagement and drive sales.

The growing trend of influencer marketing is also contributing significantly to the growth of the ecommerce social media market. Influencers have the power to affect the purchasing decisions of their followers due to their perceived expertise, authenticity, and relatability. Businesses are increasingly collaborating with influencers to promote their products, thereby reaching a larger and more targeted audience. This form of marketing is proving to be highly effective in driving brand awareness and increasing sales.

These platforms are designed to cater specifically to sports fans, offering a unique blend of social networking and sports content. Users can follow live updates, engage in discussions, and share their opinions on games and events. This specialized focus allows for a more immersive and interactive experience, as fans can connect with others who share their passion for sports. The integration of ecommerce functionalities on these platforms further enhances the user experience, enabling fans to purchase merchandise and tickets directly through the platform. As a result, sports social media platforms are becoming an integral part of the sports ecosystem, driving fan engagement and creating new revenue streams for sports organizations.

Regionally, North America holds the largest share of the ecommerce social media market, driven by high internet penetration, advanced technological infrastructure, and a high concentration of social media users. However, the Asia Pacific region is expected to witness the fastest growth during the forecast period, fueled by the rapid adoption of smartphones, growing internet user base, and increasing popularity of social media platforms in countries like China, India, and Japan. The region's burgeoning middle class and their increasing disposable income also contribute to this growth.

Facebook continues to dominate the market due to its massive user base and advanced advertising tools. Businesses leverage Facebook's comprehensive data analytics and targeted advertising capabilities to reach specific demographics and enhance their marketing strategies.
