I have a link on my facebook page and I want to generate a log that records which user clicked that link at what time. How can I do this ?
You cannot see which user clicked that link and at what time. That would be a violation of privacy. Facebook Insights are aggregated analytics.
The most you can so it use a link-tracking service such as bit.ly. But that won't tell you anything more than Facebook Insights will.

Please could you help. I have created a website that allows people to upload listings of items they are selling. I want to know how to add the feature where when someone creates a listing, it automatically posts on the user's FB page, with a link to the listing on our website. Is this possible? Would the user have to log into our website using their FB account for this to happen? Thanks everyone for your help.

You need to create a Facebook App and use Facebook Graph API with publish_actions permissions to do that. Note that the facebook rules prohibit sending fully automated messages that the user has no control, your user must have the ability to edit the message before sending
Is it possible to track information about shared post from my website with Facebook?
Scenario:
User click "Repost" button at my site, fill comment at "Post to Facebook" window and click "Share". After this I need to track info about this post: reposts and people, who do it, is it deleted, comments and so on.
No, there is no way to do this, unless you authorize the User with the apropriate permissions and check his stream once in a while - either with a cron job or with the Realtime API.
You can also try using Insights for your domain: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/platforminsights/domains
I'm creating a website where users can make reservations on certain restaurants, I want the whole page to be integrated with Facebook since you log in. And when the user makes a reservation Facebook will automatically post the reservation on the users Facebook so other may see it in their home page (just like an activity of 9gag).
Any help please!! I'm a programmer but it's the first time I try to integrate Facebook.
If you start with Facebook, this is where you should go:

For login:

Also read the terms and conditions of facebook, there are some important rules for apps.
Our business wants to give a free gift to all the users that like our facebook page. Do you know a way to get the list of emails with all users that liked our page?
Is it possible to obtain that using graph API?
Is there any possibility to offer this functionality to our customers? My problem will reduce to check if one user likes our page.
Radu,
This is not possible at (with FB API) at this time.
See here
You could create tab (with a canvas url) on your facebook page that does the following:
User clicks the tab (or is directed there by some other link)
On the canvas page, use the FB api to check if that user has liked your page. If not, persuade them to do so.
If the user liked the page, show a form where the user can enter his email.
Store the data on your own server.
Hope this helps.
After much research, I used this solution:
I call FB.login to authorize my application and request 'user_likes' permission
check /me/likes/[pageid]
If the response is not null the user likes our page.
I have an application that posts on the users' friends walls. clicking on the wall post will cause the user to navigate to out website.
I want to track how many users signed up for the website having reached it by clicking on a facebook post. Is there a way to do it using google analytics and if so how can it be done?
When you post something to the user's wall, add the ref parameter in. When someone clicks on the link, the ref parameter will get sent back to your site so you know the user came from facebook. Then it's up to you to detect this and log it in Google Analytics.
You should be using Facebook Insights to track stats like this. You can read lots more about it here:
