Facebook was started back in 2004 as a social media platform for universities. But soon it was available for the public use as well. In 2007 Facebook launched its new service call Facebook Fan Page to interact with your fans in a new way. Facebook is a platform with 2 billion active users. This figure has attracted a lot of business to use Facebook as a marketing platform and Facebook Pages serve an important role.
In 2007 when page admins used to post something they could expect that it would reach to almost all of page fans. Since the active user number and amount of content being post daily has increased dramatically over years, it has effected the organic traffic for the pages.
According to the stats, organic reach for page post was about 16% in 2014 and it has dropped to 6.5% over years. It was recorded to a minimum value of 2% by 2016. There could be many reasons behind this, the great amount of content being posted to the Facebook News Feed algorithms.
