If you, like many others, use the \u2018News Feed Algorithm\u2019 to gain followers and page hits you will notice a drop in activity. Last August Facebook announced that it would be cracking down of the use of posting pictures to \u2018like bait\u2019 using the native link format. Although image links have a poor reach, they hold the highest engagement numbers of all media on Facebook. In the official release by Facebook they want to, \u201cprioritize showing links in the link-format, and show fewer links shared in captions or status updates.\u201d It will definitely make for a cleaner news feed, especially for those using smaller devices, but why the change, why now?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-1 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:100%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table alignfull\">\n<table style=\"height: 200px;\" width=\"963\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th style=\"color: rgba(0,0,0,0); user-select: none;\">Attribute Type<\/th>\n<th>Average<br>Reach<\/th>\n<th>Avg.

To further elaborate on the push for more video play Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg said this past November that in five years he believes most content will be in video format and that in the month of October more than 3 billion views were counted each day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your audience is use to your photo post and they look forward to them, don\u2019t stop posting, just think of adding videos as a part of your new overall Facebook marketing strategy. Videos are a great format to gain attention and popularity. Consumers love them. Look at YouTube, Vimeo, Instagram and Snapchat. Videos are the biggest trend in social media right now and adding them to content strategies would be huge. It\u2019s very important for business owners to stay on top of what trends are hot. But remember, these trends are not going to be for everyone, do what works for you and your audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.abbottanimation.com\/AABlog\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.abbottanimation.com\/AABlog\/\">Blog Home<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With the ever-changing landscape of social media you can expect some speed bumps every once in a while and a recent update on Facebook may have caused you a headache you didn\u2019t know you had.
