Facebook Purge - October 2019 - Are pages getting deleted?

Deleted or unpublished pages ?

Yes our reach is also pretty good at the moment and also the RPMs are very high. Maybe because of christmas business that is starting now.

First publishers received the possibility from Pinterest to upload videos directly to the platform. I have one of these accounts. I have heard that Pinterest also plans to put ad breaks into the videos and give publishers a share. Pinterest has a lot of potential, we once had a website that got 100% of its traffic from our Facebook pages but the percentage of Pinterest raised and raised until it was on the same level as FB traffic.

Instagram will also offer monetization on IGTV in the future. At least I have heard that lots of times now but I have no idea when.

TikTok is also said to come up with a monetization program but it is not clear yet if it will be for the people who upload the music or the artists who let TikTok use their music.

unpublished

Now I post only on a page of only 35k followers… lol

But the reach is huge, I make same amount of money that I used to do with 1,2M followers.

And I think I know the reason. Some pages gets boost from FB, I don’t know why. The articles will apear in users’ news feed as Suggested. Crazy, isn’t it?

Could be also related directly to the purge. Reach on Facebook is like one big cake that all pages share. When many pages are getting deleted, then there will be more left for the remaining pages.

But I also think Facebook sometimes pushes some pages for a certain amount of time. One of mine also has sometimes extremely well months and sometimes extremely bad ones and the content is always the same. Not more viral in the good months.

I am trying to find the logic behind it but I can’t find any posts that got really poor reach prior to the first limitation. When they lifted it the first time, I also saw really good reach like others have mentioned.

I got the feeling, that up or downgrades of pages happen more often when a new month starts. But could have also just been coincidents.

How ? Please help i also need to republish my page

How i can help?

Congrats Dori. Did you write anything in particular in the appeal?

Nothing special.I wrote smthing like “I think the page was published by mistake,fans really like my posts”

I want to put in my 2 cents here, from a friend of mine who is currently working as a Social Media Manager for 4 of Netflix’s TV shows.

He had 2 privately owned pages with the same 2 admins on both pages (both SMM’s at Netflix). These two pages were unpublished mid-October. What’s funny, is that they had their admin removed off their respective Netflix TV show pages as well. They were added back as admins the day after, and boom - pages republished.

I don’t see any of this making any sense, but they didn’t appeal for their pages at all. It could look like them being added back as admins on their business pages resulted in their private pages being republished.
