I want to reduce likes of my page. For eg, my page is liked by 700 people and I want reduce the likes to 500 ie not more than 500 people can like my page.
How can I do this using graph API.
Is there any way to delete the likes. I can delete the likes of a post by issuing a HTTP DELETE to postID/likes what about the page?
To the best of my knowledge, you cannot make a user unlike your page.
The most reliable way to reduce likes is probably going to be posting offensive stuff.
It's very easy. Yes you cannot control your likes but you can remove your page fans.
You need to go to you page message. www.facebook.com/YourPage/messages there you'll see a link to 'see likes' click on it and choose the person you want to remove as a fan. see demo here http://i.stack.imgur.com/TYO5Q.jpg

is possible to sort the fb shares, of a status update for example, by the links of each share?
I will send a example:
Lets say that I update something in my timeline (or a Fan Page timeline), may 100 people share this, I wanna know, the share that have more likes...
Is possible get the page shares details, like this:
http://www.facebook.com/shares/view?id=449680915063964
But FBQuery dont analyse this..
Awaiting
Unfortunately, there is no way through Facebook Open Graph api to get such info
I am trying to figure out how many likes came from a facebook fangate page.
For example,
http://example.com/ has 1000 likes.
The example's fangate page has a "Like" button to http://example.com/
Does Facebook's open graph analytics have a tool to bring up data on where these links come from?
Is there a way to pull up data to analyze this? Say is there a way I was able to have data that told me
200 Likes came from example fangate page
300 likes came from some other site etc.
You have analyics for the Facebook Fanpage. Not for a URL.
If you are the administrator of the page. acess this link http://www.facebook.com/YOUR_PAGE_HERE/page_insights_likes
You cant see the source of like, but you can see the types of likes. If come from the page, from a like button, from a popup, from timeline, from celphone...
My question is regarding the likebox from this page: http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like-box/
I want to know specifically what pages are generating likes for my Facebook page. For example, are they coming from the home page, individual product pages, or blog? I want to remove the likebox from pages that aren't generating any 'likes'
I was looking at this page: http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like-box/
Is the edge.create event what I'm looking for here?
By the way, I know about the insights feature on Facebook where I can get stats on 'Like Sources'. I just want to know more specifically what URL's are being used for the Like Box.
Thanks in advance!
The edge.create method will allow you to capture when someone clicks on the Like button so you can do your own recording. If you don't want to write your own tracking code, you can use Google analytics, which is far easier since they do almost everything for you.

We have references to other companies on our website and provide the option for people to 'like' them. After a quick skim of the Facebook documentation, I can't work out how to calculate the number of likes our website generates for others so we can measure our effectiveness. Is this possible?
Thanks
The easiest way to get this from the graph api for example https://graph.facebook.com/http://www.google.com there you can find the total number of likes and comments
You can subscribe to "edge.create" and count user likes of any like button on your site.

There is another source (website or something) that have a like button with the same url? if not, you can query link_stat table using FQL to know the number of likes of a url. if yes, I think that the only option is to store the likes count in your website code, in a database or something.
there is a huge discrepancy between the number of likes our page has received and the number of likes displayed when using the like button, and giving it the facebook page's URL (like button is much higher). Does anyone know why this happens?
As described in the doc :
What makes up the number shown on my Like button?
The number shown is the sum of:
The number of likes of this URL
The number of shares of this URL (this includes copy/pasting a link back to Facebook)
The number of likes and comments on stories on Facebook about this URL
The number of inbox messages containing this URL as an attachment.
I am a Facebook Partner Engineer working on platform. To bring your Facebook page Likes to your web page you should use the Like Box rather than the like button. This will allow you to gain Facebook page likes from your website while also giving you the option to show your page's stream stories right in your web site.
You can find out more about the like box here:
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like-box/
I hope this helps!

My understanding is the like button aggregates likes, comments and other interactions.
Basically the counter next to the button isn't the like count but an activity or interaction count.
You can get the actual like count through the graph api if you need it.
