New Facebook Analysis Shows 65 Million "Like" or Share Button Clicks to Top 1,000 Sites

Facebook
BrightEdge, the world's first enterprise class SEO platform that helps brands rise above the increasing clutter of the Web, released a new SocialShare report today that shows the power and influence of the Facebook "Like" button for viral discovery and distribution. Since the launch of the "Like" and "Share" buttons, links to the front pages of the top 1,000 sites on the Web have been liked and shared on Facebook more than 65 million times.

The analysis also looked at these top 1,000 sites to learn which Facebook share buttons have gained the most ubiquity. BrightEdge for the first time was able to rank Facebook's many share buttons in a top 10 rank based on usage on the Web's largest and most trafficked sites.

"Changes to Facebook social plugins may be imminent and this analysis shows how significant these features have become on the Web today," said Jim Yu, CEO of BrightEdge. "Very few features have achieved the massive scale of adoption that Facebook 'Like 'and 'Share' buttons now see across the Internet. And the usage of these buttons is unprecedented in the history of the Web."

The BrightEdge SocialShare Engine also was able to learn for the first time ever that 25 percent of the top 1,000 web sites have adopted Facebook plugins. The "Like" Button is the most utilized share feature that Facebook offers. It lets users share pages from a site directly on their Facebook profile with a single click of a button.
