@Justin: if Facebook is providing specific #’s that you’re reporting, it would be helpful to have more specifics.

for example: it would be useful to know if the # feed story impressions for CitySearch is “average” or “boosted” due to any preferenced relationship with Facebook. also helpful to know average click-thru rates on such stories.

while i tend to believe that Connect is quite a significant boost for most sites, it’s not really that helpful for FB to report warm & fuzzy PR without more verifiable / quantitative data on usage. only reporting a portion of the data related to the story tends to reduce, not enhance credibility.

what’s changed in the login system? I usually stay connected using 2 different browers windows in differents pages… now each time I activate one windows I have to login again…. that’s annoying…

Nisan, that’s a good point. However, that’s clearly what Facebook is telling us. Citysearch has always said they’ve been getting high click numbers…

This data point seems very inaccurate: “The average review gets 40 views, with 74% of those clicking back to the Citysearch site.” That says to me a feed story gets 40 impressions, and generates 29.6 clicks back to CitySearch. Given I’ve heard the average feed story gets 0.5 to 3 clicks, it would be nice if someone set the record straight on the above quote. Anyone from CitySearch happen to be reading?
