I am using the facebook like button
<fb:like href="My URL" layout="button_count"></fb:like>
and yesterday it was 119 and today it's 90 and it happens with lots of other pages i don't have an explanation to tell to the business team as they think that it's our problem.
i tried to search about how does facebook do retrieving the count or what happened makes it decreasing the count but i found nothing.
would anybody help me why is this happening, or how to fix ...
Try finding out the actual count using the fql
example : $fql = "SELECT share_count, like_count, comment_count, total_count FROM link_stat WHERE url='MYURL'"; $response = $facebook->api(array('method' => 'fql.query','query' =>$fql,)); print_r($response);
You will get the actual count
