  Two of my posts are not tracking any facebook likes. I know they’ve been widely and well received.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Thanks!

  Granted, the first one has some logical content reasons for sensitivity, but it garnered 10x normal traffic and all kinds of positive comments. that and even the one share I saw were never tracked as they normally are.

  Thank you,

  I ran both posts through the Facebook debugger and shared them on my own Facebook page–which did get recorded on both posts.

  It’s hard to say for sure if shares weren’t getting recorded before, but it seems to be ok now.

  It’s fair to say my ego could be involved. While my sleuthing lead me to believe they weren’t being recorded, it could be that they just weren’t liked.

  Hangs head and walks away in shame.

  Thank you and apologies if it were a wild goose chase!

  Aww, Maybe people liked them so much they went off to talk about them before they remembered to hit the share button?

  Also, anytime the products of two separate companies interact like they do with the share buttons, glitches do occur–we just can’t always track them down.

  In other words, your ego is safe :)
