How does the Facebook Algorithm work?

By Kelvin Newman from Econsultancy.com

The ultimate guide to the Facebook Edgerank algorithm

EdgeRank is one of the most important algorithms in marketing. Despite this, very few people have heard of it and fewer still can claim that they fully understand it.

EdgeRank is the name of the algorithm which Facebook uses to determine what appears in their users’ news feeds. The news feed is Facebook’s ‘Killer App’. There is a plethora of information available to Facebook users, and the newsfeed is the order in which it appears.

It determines which of your connections is the most important to you and thus appears most frequently, and which kinds of content should appear higher than others. For anyone seeking to market a product or service on Facebook it’s essential you understand how this algorithm works.

Understanding the rules of the algorithm and changing your tactics to reflect the system can make the difference between a business changing campaign and an embarrassing failure. Yet despite this huge importance very little has been written about the algorithm.

What is your Keyword rank score called? ...Quality scores for Google.

A "Quality Score" for Google is a dynamic metric assigned to each of your keywords. It's calculated using a variety of factors. A quality score measures how relevant your keyword is to your ad group and to a user's search query. The higher a Keyword Quality Score(KQS), the lower it costs per click(CPCs), and the better its ad position.

Google and other players of the search network, calculate it every time your keyword matches a search query. The QS helps ensure that only the most relevant ads appear to users.
