Facebook Like on URLs

[riyas_heych]

I have a doubt regarding the facebook LIKES for URLs

Case 1: By using a Facebook Like Button (for URL) on my page(s). Here people are coming to my page and giving like directly on my page.

Case 2: Here i'm not using any Facebook Like plugins on page, But my page got shared on facebook pages and profiles. And people are giving likes on facebook.com for my shared links.

Is this two count as different methods? Explain me please.

Facebook shares and facebook likes are different. As someone can share a post they see on a friends wall and it is not added to that page's like count.

If you want to check the like count for certain urls quickly, I prefer to use the excel plugin for SEO

Just do not try and do a few thousand urls as it will take a bit.

api.facebook.com/restserver.php?method=links.getStats&urls=http://www.domain.com

change www.domain.com to yours and you will see exactly the stats of your domain name.

The Like plugin with [button] #125 number   usually includes likes+shares...

One way to see the differences is to use a free tool like http://sharedcount.com/ it shows you Facebook likes, shares and comments which are all different items.
