How EdgeRank Works
EdgeRank is an algorithm that ranks objects in the Facebook News Feed. Pages with high EdgeRank Scores will be more likely to show up in the news feed, than Pages with low EdgeRank Scores.
EdgeRank is made up of 3 variables: Affinity, Weight, and Time Decay. Affinity is dependent on a user's relationship with an object in the news feed. Weight is determined by the type of object, such as a photo/video/link/etc. The last variable is Time Decay, as an object gets older, the lower the value.
We've developed our own EdgeRank algorithm to help Page Admins understand how their Page interacts with the News Feed.
