  I was just wondering why my blog was getting referrals from Facebook search pages, since there is no way I can see my blog being linked in a Facebook search. Here’s an example:

  How are you updating your own Facebook pages?
  Are you using publicize?

  I have similar referrers in my stats. I believe it means that someone posted a link to your post on their Facebook page. Unless you are their “friend” on FB and signed in, it would not take you to the page where it’s linked
