BMW facebook Likes

4 month ago i had looked at the Mercedes likes on Facebook and it was something around 16 M and BMW's was 18.35 M, yesterday i looked at Mercedes's again and i find out it's 19.05 M likes and the BMW's was 18.7 M.
So please someone explain how it can be possible Mercedes to take more than 3M likes in 4 months and BMW 0.35 M?

You can buy "likes" just like you can pay to have a negative Yelp review removed.

I had to peak at this thread to see what it was all about....only because I have never had a social media account. So, with that, what do the likes mean -purely brand perception? If so, I am surprised MB is not far ahead of BMW. That they are neck and neck, I find odd. I own both brands.

likes are a false way for facebook to show your page gets traffic, so that they can profit from it. it's all a bunch of BS.
watch the video i posted above.

That is BS.

I have dealt with yelp for several companies, including my own, and I wish I could pay them for better sorting of reviews. I couldn't. I have worked with different reps and even had meetings with VPs. I paid thousands of dollars for advertising hoping that I could grease the wheels to remove fraudulent reviews. It never worked. Proving them to be fraudulent or against their TOCs or their having their filter weed them out are your only hope. Not cash.

Maybe there were people trying to scam business owners with promises or threats of reviews but it didn't come from yelp. Just like the Nigerian prince has nothing to do with the emails claiming to be him.

I even spoke with business owners who sound unintelligent after deeper questioning of the event because they have no clue what they are talking about.

People say cooky things so watch out what you repeat. Do some google searches and you will find the extortion scheme stories fall apart under scrutiny.
