Yesterday we launched a new feature for administrators of authentic pages, per post insights. This feature gives administrators a look at how many raw impressions an administrator initiated post on the Page received, as well as the overall feedback rate. These insights are aiming to help Page administrators understand more about the time of day, day of week, and type of content is most effective for delivering information to a fan base.

This feature is only available to authenticated Pages, where the minimum barrier is a Page with 10,000 fans. Once a Page reaches 10,000 fans, the administrator is provided instructions on how to authenticate the Page.



We have heard a number of questions regarding this new feature, and this post will address the top three of those questions:

Q: Is the impression count the number of users who have seen the post?
A: No, the number of impressions measures the number of times the post has been rendered on user’s browsers. These impressions can come from a user’s news feed, live feed, directly from the Page, or through the Fan Box widget. This includes instances of the post showing up below the fold.

Q: Why is the impression count higher than the number of Fans the Page has?
A: This is because many users refresh their homepage, and visit their homepage multiple times during a session, and each time the post is rendered, it counts as an impression.

Q: What does feedback % measure?
A: It measures the number of comments and likes. No other actions (such as video plays, link clicks, etc) are part of the feedback percentage. The formula used for computing this percentage is (Comments+Likes)/Impressions

We are excited that many administrators who have seen this new feature have already started to put it to use, and we are committed to providing future innovations that increase the usefulness of Pages.
