Facebook Likes

You will not receive Points for Liking a Facebook Page unless the number of Likes they have increases.  For example, if the page has 470 Likes then the number of Likes the page has must be 471 or higher when you click “I’ve Liked This Page” in order to receive your Points.

To prevent receiving the “Cannot verify the Like” error make sure that the number of Likes the page has increases when you Like the page.

New Premium System Explanation

I feel a lot of users are confused about how the new Premium system actually works and how it is beneficial to the site and to you.
Each Follow, Like, View, etc used to cost around 15 Points because of the old Premium system.  They now only cost up to 10 Points.
With the new Premium system you will show up before everyone else that has the same Payout that you have that is not Premium.  Users can still become Premium without buying packages using real money by Liking 100 Facebook Pages.  They can do this as many times as they want per day which will increase the # of Facebook Likes given out.  Currently Facebook and Twitter are by far the most popular features on the site and this might switch from 100 Follows to 100 Likes to balance activity.

YouLikeHits goal with this change is to increase the value of Premium, increase the value of Points and to increase the amount of Likes.

“Someone already added this page…”

A lot of users seem to be having trouble adding their pages to YouLikeHits because a “reseller” has already added it to their account.  We’ve opened it up so that you may add your page to your account now regardless of whether or not someone else has added it.  Keep in mind though that if someone already added it to their account and it’s still active that you may not get many likes because once someone Likes your page it will not show up again for them to Like it.

Only add Pages that you own and only add Pages to ONE account that you own.  If you add the same page to multiple accounts that you own on YouLikeHits we will ban that page from the site.  Play nice!

Facebook Issues Fixed

I’ve received well over 50 emails [not counting comments on this blog] about the Facebook issues people were having earlier today.  Rest assured that this was a minor database issue!  We’ve fixed the problem and from what we see the only issue was that it was not recording the History of Likes.  Basically, when someone Liked you they got their Points, you got your Points taken away and they had to actually Like your page but the History never recorded on your history or theirs.

Everything should be back to normal now.  Let us know if you have any other issues.

Any Points spent on Facebook Likes within the past 12 hours [minus the number of Points earned from Liking] was refunded to everyone’s account!  If you didn’t receive a message in your History about the Facebook refund then you received more Points from Liking others in the past 12 hours than you had spent on Likes.
