Who viewed my Facebook profile?

There are generally four methods to see who viewed your Facebook profile which are as follow.

As a Facebook user, you might be curious to know who has viewed your Facebook profile. In this blog, I would mention all the possible ways, but you can rarely catch your Facebook visitor‘s name.

I was sometimes curious to find out who is spying on my Facebook profile, and I started to search for all the possible ways or any recommendations across the web. I finally came to a list that I would mention bellow and my conclusion on how to see who has viewed my Facebook profile at the end of this article.

Can I see who viewed my Facebook? 

As I have seen on many platforms like Quora, the most asked question about Facebook profile viewing is how users can find the name of visitors to their profile. It could have lots of reasons, and it may even help you to grow your Facebook profile faster.

Knowing who has viewed your Facebook account is one way to guess how Facebook suggestion might work, and you can change the audience of your profile. Though Facebook itself has announced that you cannot see who has viewed the profile using Facebook profile viewer but there are still some coding-ways to find out the address of visitors.

Although I recommend another platform like LinkedIn in which you can easily find out about the profile views or who has searched your name. if anyone searches your name on the internet and they open your LinkedIn profile, you can see their profile through the platform easily. LinkedIn would notify you about profile visitors.

Who viewed your Facebook profile?

There are four methods to check Facebook visitors, which I explain here:

Method # 1: social profile extension page

Type social profile chrome extension on Google. There is one extension that helps you to find out your Facebook visitors. To use this way:

  1. click on three-dot icon on top right of Chrome browser
  2. Scroll down to see “More Tools”
  3. Find extensions from the menu.
  4. Search for social profile view notification.
  5. Choose “Add to Chrome” and click on “Add extension.”
  6. Login to your Facebook profile and click on your profile picture to enter your profile
  7. You must see the visitors added on the menu.

Method #2: Viewing the page source of your FB profile 

This way is the easiest that not all users are aware of. you will find the ID of Facebook visitors through a browser (if there is any).

  • Using “initialchatfriendslist”

You can use the source of your page with different codes to see visitors; the first one is to use “Initialchatfriendslist.” Go over the steps below:

  1. Login to your FB account
  2. Go to your profile (by clicking your profile picture)
  3. Then right-click and find the view source (you can access this section by developer tools on mac too).
  4. Press CTRL+Fto open the search bar.
  5. Find the “initialchatfriendslist” 

Now, it redirects you to a Section of the page source that you can see lots of numbers between “initialchatfriendslist “. These are the IDs of the people who viewed your profile the most.

Tip: Google chrome is most handy for this method 

  • Using “Visitors”

Another way is to see the ID number of visitors by finding the word match “initialchatfriendslist.” and see the list of ID but it might be challenging to know which ID belongs to which visitors.

Method # 3: Facebook profile viewer app (not recommended)

There are many tools available on the internet, but I am not sure if I can provide you the service you need. Viewing Facebook profile is not as easy as they promise in their advertising. So, it is better not to look for this way, better you use the two methods that I mentioned above.

Sum up

I hope you can finally get some clue about how to see Facebook profile viewers or visitors. Comment below and share your experience with me.

Facebook’s fact-checking policy is working

Since 2016, and after the US presidential election, Facebook decided to run a policy to reduce the distribution of false reports on the platform. Facebook’s fact-checking policy is performed in the form of labels indicating the validity and reliability of the reposts shared by users. Misleading stories are labeled as “Disputed by [third party fact checkers]”.

Since 2016, and after the US presidential election, Facebook decided to run a policy to reduce the distribution of false reports on the platform. Facebook’s fact-checking policy is performed in the form of labels indicating the validity and reliability of the re-posts shared by users. Misleading stories are labeled as “Disputed by [third party fact checkers]”.

The question that if the policy is working or not is answered by the fact that since the implementation of the social media strategy, more people are preventing themselves from re-sharing news and report labeled as unreliable.

A study conducted by California University also approved the same results among their 500 participants, showing that people are now more careful about what news they share on social media, after the move Facebook made in this regard.

In 2016, Facebook’s fact-checking policy introduced the labels by which the authenticity status of reports and news were announced. However, in 2017, the tags were displayed by a number of related articles and pages under the post, that implied whether the said report was true or false.

Facebook claims that this latter move helped even more users to recognize whether what they are reading is based on reality or not.

Facebook is checking the validity of stories published by users

 

Reportedly, almost 60% of Americans are now less likely to re-share stories and news without making sure of their validity. This has a positive relationship with the fact that Facebook users are so careful about the credibility of their own pages and profiles since they stop where they might be seen as invalid.

Although Facebook’s fact-checking policy is working, there remains the issue of “scale.” Despite the positive impact this move has had on reducing false stories’ distribution, the effect is so little that in the larger scale it is almost seen as “nothing is done”.

With covering 42 languages, Facebook has already paid a large amount of money to the third party fact-checkers to monitor contents from daily 2.4 billion users on the platform. The amount of the stories checked so far by these groups can reach as little as 5% of the daily published contents by Facebook users, and this is an insignificant amount.

Facebook is currently looking into possible technological and automated solutions to implement the idea even more broadly. This Facebook fact-checking policy is still an infant, showing a prosperous future, going hand in hand with computational linguistics technology.

What are the differences between B2B and B2C business systems?

B2B and B2C are two different business models with several similarities and differences, but both of them have the same goal, which is a sale.

B2B and B2C are two different business models with several similarities and differences, but both of them have the same goal, which is a sale.

First of all, let’s clarify their meaning and then go through their differences. B2B indicates “business to business,” and it sells its products to other businesses. B2C indicates “business to customer,” and it sells products directly to consumers.

B2B orders have some features typically in common such as:

  • Fewer customers
  • Larger orders
  • Higher value orders
  • Longer decision time
  • Longer relationships
  • Longer transaction time

On the other hand, B2C customers typically have:

  • More customers
  • Smaller orders
  • Lowers value orders
  • Shorter decision times
  • Shorter relationship
  • Shorter transaction time

Here are some general differences between B2B and B2C in a glance:

Beside many differences, B2B and B2C business systems are similar in some ways such as building trust to people. They also do their best to provide excellent customer service, and they value the customer relationship, and their main goal is a sail.

By the way,

If you are planning a management buyout, the experts at Price Bailey will help you through all the processes and documentation that is required, read all about it here. 
 

Way of selling

B2C platforms are different, and they can be online or offline, somewhere which is crowded. Online includes websites, social media, etc. and offline includes supermarkets, TV advertisements, shopping mall, etc.

But big companies don’t appear in these places, and definitely they don’t choose their products there. So where would they find the products?

Businesses participate in trade fairs, investment conferences, special online B2B platforms, and then several people such as manager, accountant, consultant, etc. decide whether to buy a product or not.

Sale process

It is clear that B2C doesn’t have a procedure, and it would start and finish fast.

But in B2B, you need to have a contract, and the payment process may take longer.

B2B buying process:

B2C buying process:

Decision-making process

B2C is totally a personal decision, and it doesn’t take long to make up your mind about buying a product. You may just be interested in the salesperson’s behavior and decide to buy, so emotional communication plays an important role in the purchasing process. Also in B2C, costumers decide to purchase themselves or sometimes it might happen that they consult with their family and friends, but it won’t be more complicated than that.

In B2C marketing, a group of people decides whether to buy a product or not, and no emotional communication or an individual decision can work. Also, businesses need more time to make a decision, and it requires group approval, so it may take a long time to hear from them. Moreover, they would ask for a discount.

Sales Speed

Obviously B2C transactions are faster than B2B because it is direct to customers while B2B transactions may take months and companies may receive their products in different ways such as shipping, air freight, sea freight, etc.

Client Relationships

Generally, the B2C market is larger than B2B. For being successful in B2B, businesses should develop good relationships with different companies for having long-term contracts and growing relationships.

Prices of Products

B2C products have lowered prices, and all consumers pay the same price, while B2B products might be 2 or 3 times more than B2C products and the payment is based on the agreement, and their contract and the price may differ based on several factors such as the future cooperation and the past buying history.

Emotions and logics

In B2C, the emotion causes the purchase, and most of the time, there is no logic during the purchase, and customers look for the benefits that you recommend them. They decide fast, and it could take a few minutes or at most a few days.

While in B2B, companies make conscious decisions that are based on logic rather than emotions. It means that they make a purchase based on their company’s needs, and not their own desire and personal emotions.

Length of the Business Relationship

Usually, B2C business relationships are considered as a short time business relationship, and it depends on the customer’s loyalty. For example, a mom who buys milk for her child may decide to buy another brand after a month, or she may choose juice over milk.

It seems that B2B business relationships last longer, and they need a long time to make their final decision in buying a product or service. Also, they hardly change their decision, and they keep using a product.

Conclusion

B2B and B2C are two different systems, and both need different strategies.

Knowing all we mentioned above, you might have come up with the result that B2B sales are more complicated than B2C sales. Also, you should know that each of them needs specific strategies to be successful.
