Why Facebook URL suddenly decrease the number of like/share? - facebook

I have a landing page what got 9.2k likes 2 days ago
http://cradiff.com/saiyan-ghost-warrior
But suddenly yesterday I check and see it 's only have 17 likes. I don't know why it show like that. Here are some tasks what I did right before the day I see the changes what may effect this problem
I run facebook ads $40 for this link on my facebook page. Maybe this make the number of likes/share increase too much?
I use this tool to clear cache until it show the URL is listed in review list https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/og/object/ . Because this tool doesn't get the last html so that I submit it around 5 times until it is locked
Other than that, everything 's fine. It 's the URL what I have to get the players in game share to earn coins. It 's invested a lot of time and money before it can reach to 9.2k.
Can anyone help me about this?

Facebook like counter has been zeroed

In some stage few days ago many of the website pages' counter has been zeroed.
After various examinations, using facebook's debug tool (https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/like-button) I realized that there is no problem in my plugin embedded code. The counter in the debug took shows the exact number as it shows in the website.
But still, what can we do?? is there a way to restore the lost likes counts (and users lists that liked the pages etc.)?
Maybe something else has happened?
Many thanks,
Ehud

Like count for a fixed URL wrong when logged out

This is driving me mad, I have a facebook like button on my site http://www.myabandonware.com/, and the button have been showing 0 like for the site when logged out of facebook. When logged in, the share count is 5k.
When refreshing the page, I get sometimes 4.7k likes instead of 5k. I have checked the share count with the API.
I check the AJAX call with this URL : http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?api_key=172628266142459&channel_url=http%3A%2F%2Fstatic.ak.facebook.com%2Fconnect%2Fxd_arbiter.php%3Fversion%3D9%23cb%3Df3662e52e4%26origin%3Dhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.myabandonware.com%252Ff188d369e%26domain%3Dwww.myabandonware.com%26relation%3Dparent.parent&extended_social_context=false&href=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.myabandonware.com&layout=box_count&locale=en_US&node_type=link&sdk=joey&send=false&show_faces=false&width=55
Sounds like a bug to me, should I file a bug report on Facebook ?
This is maybe temporary, I've started the delete procedure of an old fan page that got 200 likes.
EDIT : this went back to normal behavior, I suppose this was due to the old fan page (automatically created around 2009 I think) being really deleted (after the 15 days allowed for rollback). The link count lost the ~200 fan of this page. I permanently deleted the fan page this morning.
Answer: It is not a user-side issue.
You should definitely file a bug report. Although not new, the Like count integration for certain pages have been wonky as of late. Our startup recently encountered problems as well, so this is no surprise.

Likes on home page are no longer showing

My homepage at http://www.kccurling.com no longer shows the likes. Though the other pages I set the ability to like is uneffected and does show their respective likes.
When I click the like button. rather than showing my facebook avatar I get a red "error". Clicking on the "red error", I get the following message
"There was an error liking the page. If you are the page owner, please try running your page through the linter on the Facebook devsite (https://developers.facebook.com/tools/lint/) and fixing any errors."
I then go the link provided. Type in the url and can see the number of likes for that page. by clicking the link at the bottom of the page. I click on debug. but that appears to do nothing. I am not savey enough to understand or see why the likes are still no longer showing on this page only.
This happen about the time I set up a facebook fan page but I am not sure if the two are linked.
Any directions would be appreciated.
Its most likely a temporary error.
Its worth making sure your Open Graph tags are present and working as per the linter.
You may need to wait an hour before linting again.
If its still borked in a couple of hours then there is a problem.
I've seen today a strange behaviour on my site too. The like button doesn't seem to work any longer. Then I've tried to create again a new like button on https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like/. And this points in two directions. First I get a new app_id (but I don't know why). And second thing was, that I've had to verify my account by SMS or credit card. After that, all was fine...

Facebook post being duplicated multiple times on a page

I have an article posted on a Facebook Page.
However the article seems to keep reposting itself on the page at random intervals. Sometimes this will happen 3 or 4 times in a single day, and sometimes it won't happen at all. The post doesn't say it's being submitted by any application at the bottom like it would if it was.
It appears just as if a link has been pasted in the comment box, and submitted.
Any ideas what is causing this issue and how to stop it?
It's only one article that is causing the issue.
Cheers,
Thomas.
Having looked at the graph.facebook.com/PAGE_ID/feed I discovered that it's being posted by an application called Notes.
No idea what it's for, but I have disabled its ability to post to the wall.
Will see if that stops the problem, and then tick this answer as final if that is the case.
I had a similar problem with duplicate posts from a page showing up in an event (hosted by that page) over a 72 hour period, appearing at intervals of 4-5 hours. I eventually tracked it down to my Facebook app. When I went to the discussion section for the event on my phone, I saw that the post that had been repeatedly posting was listed as "will retry your post" because I had tried to post and gotten an error in my original attempt to post it. I chose "discard the post" and hopefully this will fix the issue.
It appears this may be an ongoing Facebook issue based on these two related posts
"Why am I repeatedly getting "will retry" messages on posts I shared days ago?"
"What does will retry your post mean?"

problem with facebook like button

I have placed the facebook like button on a website, and the weirdest thing is happening, every page on the site shows the same count for the number of people liking the site (~ 760), except the home page, the home page shows 18 people only.
for the life of me I cannot figure out what's causing this.
All pages are using the same open graph meta tags, and the facebook snippet is inserted by a user control (same on every page).
Anyone has any ideas where I can even start to debug?
The site is canvaspop.com
http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=http://www.canvaspop.com/default.aspx&layout=button_count&show_faces=false&width=130&action=like&font=arial&colorscheme=light&height=21
Looking at the DOM and XHR Responses that data is coming directly from facebook without any problems.
to be perfectly honest, I would not rely too much on data coming from facebook, the amount load they have and there forever changing CDN, there's bound to be issues with the balance loader, that data as its the root of your domain may be coming from a cached result to decrease laod.
you can image the % of content delivered to homepage's rather then inner site pages, because users usually go on a site and then go off.
just wait it out and see if the results get updated. if it does not then go to the Developers Support areas and ask a member of the community or team!
Install fiddler, and look at the request sent to facebook on the homepage vs the other pages.
