  Since this morning I’m getting thousands of views from Facebook. When I click on facebook in the referral part of my stats I go to my own newsfeed. Is there any way I can find the page they’re coming from? Or could be a bot?

  Thanks

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

  There is no way to find all of them, and it’s most likely real people. Bots don’t use Facebook. Someone influential shared a link and a lot of other people are sharing it too. Your best bet is to go to Facebook and do a search for the title or first line and see if you can find the post somewhere and trace it back. But most people have privacy settings on so you cannot find them.

  Thanks. And how do you search in facebook? I can’t seem to search anything else but names of people and groups. Not posts
