<\/figure>\n\n\n\nWhen you look at these social media marketing services<\/a>, it\u2019s clear to see that, yes, you can buy comments on Facebook. Yet the REAL question is, should you?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It isn\u2019t illegal to buy comments for your Facebook posts. However, if you read Meta\u2019<\/a>s<\/a> community standards<\/a>, you\u2019ll see that paying for comments on your posts falls under that gray area of inauthentic behavior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This kind of fake Facebook engagement creates the illusion of popularity, but doesn\u2019t reflect true interest. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But that\u2019s not all. Buying comments, even if they\u2019re \u201creal\u201d Facebook comments, can do even more harm to your business, which we\u2019ll explain below.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

- Why You Should Never Buy Twitter Likes<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Ask scroll-stopping questions or share fun challenges<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
1. It Hurts Your Edgerank<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Edgerank is the algorithm that Facebook uses to measure your engagement. It looks at the comments, likes, shares, clicks on Facebook post links, and all other interactions your posts receive and judges how valuable they are to users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The algorithm uses that data to decide which posts show in people\u2019s news feed first. It stands to reason that if you only post good high-quality content, people will engage with it, resulting in a good Edgerank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
![\"Facebook](\"https:\/\/rafflepress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/facebook-edgerank.png\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nYet if you buy custom comments on Facebook, that\u2019s all you get. That means you won\u2019t have many likes and shares, which tells Edgerank that your engagement is low.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the end, very few people will see your posts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2. They Can Mislead Real Users<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Let\u2019s say a few Facebook posts slip through the algorithm and make it into your fans\u2019 news feeds. In that case, your followers will see a high number of comments singing your brand\u2019s praises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In reality, this is paid social proof. It’s not a reflection of genuine interest, just inauthentic behavior that could cost you trust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If your products or services aren\u2019t up to scratch and people buy them due to fake Facebook comments, you\u2019re misleading them. Do you really want your customer support team to face many live support tickets from unhappy customers?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s best to protect your reputation and generate comments organically if you don’t. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
3. It Can Ruin Your Credibility<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Picture this. You find an interesting band on Facebook and click through to their page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The first few posts have hundreds of comments, but as you scroll down, there are barely any. This pattern\u2014high activity on some posts, then silence\u2014often signals real vs fake comments, and savvy users will pick up on it fast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
![\"low](\"https:\/\/rafflepress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/low-facebook-engagement.jpg\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nYour genuine Facebook followers<\/a> will come to the same conclusion. As a result, you can wave goodbye to your credibility, trustworthiness, and potential sales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
People aren\u2019t naive when it comes to social media platforms. When they see that something doesn’t add up, they\u2019ll leave and never return.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
4. You\u2019ll Impair Your Facebook Metrics<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
As we mentioned earlier, when discussing Edgerank, analytics are powerful. Without quality analytics, it\u2019s almost impossible to know if your Facebook marketing<\/a> efforts are making an impact or are profitable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
![\"facebook](\"https:\/\/rafflepress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/facebook-insights.jpg\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nBut customized Facebook comments are likely destroying your analytics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fake Facebook engagement\u2014like purchased comments, likes, and shares\u2014gives you an inaccurate image of what happens on your Facebook page. Consequently, it\u2019s much harder to understand what does and doesn\u2019t work and what your next steps should be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
5. It Leaves You Vulnerable to Hacking<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Do you know where fake Facebook comments come from?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In June 2017, police raided a building in Thailand with hundreds of mobile phones and thousands of sim cards that 3 Chinese men used to build likes and views on social media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We call this type of thing a click farm. Click farms are huge online scams that encourage people to pay real money for social media engagement<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In some cases, click farms use bots and fake accounts to generate engagement. But in many cases, there are workers crammed into tiny rooms, in miserable conditions getting a measly wage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s criminal, isn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
![\"buying](\"https:\/\/rafflepress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/security-issues-rafflepress-nulled.png\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nBut that\u2019s not all. Many Facebook comment sellers are sometimes hackers too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Engaging with those websites can expose you to many web vulnerabilities. For example, they may be using insecure software to manage payments, leading to security breaches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some websites may get enough information to hack your Facebook account in the worst case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
6. You Could Lose Your Facebook Account<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Remember Facebook\u2019s community standards? There\u2019s a section under their Spam policy that goes like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c…we do not want to allow content that is designed to deceive, or that attempts to mislead users to increase viewership.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
It then goes on to state:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe also aim to prevent people from abusing our platform, products, or features to artificially increase viewership or distribute content en masse for commercial gain.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
The keywords there are \u201cartificially increase viewership.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When you buy Facebook comments, you’re trying to boost Facebook reach by paying for artificial interaction. But this kind of inauthentic behavior goes against Facebook\u2019s guidelines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Facebook doesn\u2019t take breaching its guidelines lightly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At first, you\u2019ll get several warnings about your misconduct. But if you continue to violate their rules, Facebook may disable your account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the end, you\u2019ll spend money on fake engagement with terrible results for your business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What Can You Do Instead of Buying Facebook Comments?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
By now, you probably realize that buying comments isn\u2019t the best way to grow your Facebook presence. But what should you do instead?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
