Facebook To Remove Fake Likes (and pull down your account?)

The recent post from Facebook stated “These newly improved automated efforts will remove those Likes gained by malware, compromised accounts, deceived users, or purchased bulk Likes”.

Facebook To Remove Fake Likes

In case you are not aware, an industry has grown up recently whereby anyone can go online and ‘purchase’ hundreds or even thousands of Facebook ‘Likes’. The reason of course is the (misguided) notion that the more ‘Likes’ you have the better search engine rankings you will acquire. I can see no merit in buying such ‘Likes’ but the problem now is that Facebook is looking for such patterns and will pull down any accounts it feels is violating its Terms.

So, don’t buy Facebook ‘Likes’ – they will not help your business and you are now running the risk of losing your Facebook account.
