Posts that receive negative feedback categorizes as “meme content”
Posts that are classified as memes by Facebook’s visual analysis of overlayed text on image
Passive fans of a particular Facebook page may see that page’s posts bundled together in the News Feed, such that the user would need to click a link to see more from the page.
Overly promotional content from pages—pushing people to buy an app or service, pushing people to enter a contest or sweepstakes, posts that reuse the same text from ads
Creating the Perfect Facebook Post
A perfect Facebook post:
1. is a link
2. is brief—40 characters or fewer, if you can
3. gets published at non-peak times
4. follows other posts on a regular schedule
5. timely and newsworthy

What Makes Great Content
A recent study by researchers at Cornell university has found that people share a content when it adds information and it agrees with the community’s ways of expression.
Three elements:
value,
relevance,
consistency
makes content irresistible and impossible to ignore.

What Makes Great Content - Value
The greater your value proposition the more likely your content is to get shared. Valuable content is content that is useful, informational, educational and of course entertaining.
Creating value for your audience requires knowing who your audience is, what do they like and what they would find useful.
Source: twittercounter.com
What Makes Great Content - Relevance
Understand the basic characteristics of your audience and who they are – then figure out what type of content would be relevant to them.
Ensure your content is relevant to your audience and your brand’s identity.
Value and relevance will start attracting quality audience that will help your business grow to the right direction.

What Makes Great Content - Consistency
Content consistency means staying true to what you and your brand stands for,
Consistency is about how your content is presented, maintaining your tone and voice and posting your content on a frequent basis.
Being consistent will help you build your brand’s credibility and develop trust with your audience.
You will meet expectations with people understanding what your content is about and will keep coming back for more.
