    As a test, I just posted a hub link there...(one not on a niche site)  no problem.

    Every once in awhile, I get a "403 Forbidden" here, there, and everywhere. I just figure it's the internet being the internet. I simply go away and forget about it. big_smile

    While we are talking about Facebook. Do most people post links to their articles on their personal page or on a group or what? Any advice appreciated. I am always looking for more traffic to my articles.

      I have a separate gardening page set up on FB to post my Dengarden hubs on.  I get steady traffic from that page.

    I'm in favor of HP banning FB. In fact, I am in favor of anyone banning FB.

      Doug, If it is relevant, I post on FB. I get positive results.

        I join FB groups that relate to my topics and post according.

            Yep, I'm with you on this. I'm too lazy to run social media accounts, apart from Pinterest. I don't even have a Facebook account any more because of their shenanigans.

            Most of my traffic comes from Google and other search engines. Occasionally someone will share one of my articles on Facebook, and although the boost is nice, it is very short-lived.

                There are a few people who I miss regular contact with, but we have email so it's not so bad. I never posted details of my life on FB anyway... I always felt there was something self-serving and boastful about it. So I restricted myself to posting pics of my dogs and playing scrabble big_smile I did have a tarot page where I posted links to articles but got fed up with all the requests for free readings from total strangers.

                My partner loves FB and is friends with all my friends so if I want to get in touch with one, he does it for me.

                Edit: I love the idea of FB, I really do. It does bring people together. But the negatives (for me) outweigh the positives.

          I can't believe some people say they don't promote their articles on social media. I get thousands of views every day when I post on my personal Facebook page and in dozens of specialized Facebook groups that I belong to. People who belong to the groups are the ones who are interested in what you are posting. You have to know which groups appreciate your posts. The groups I get the most traffic from are the ones about the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, any of the royals, Netflix movies, Lifetime movies, Foods, and popular television shows.

          Most of my articles are evergreen so they are always current. Whenever my pageviews are low, I post a link to my groups and the pageviews go back up immediately.

          On the left-hand side of the HP articles are social media icons. All you have to do is click on them and they are automatically posted to the sites.

          I would get almost nothing if I didn't promote my articles in specialized Facebook groups, on Pinterest, Twitter, and Mix.com. Any exposure is better than no exposure at all.

          I wouldn't write at all if I didn't have the opportunity to promote my articles. I have found it rewarding after being on HP for over 8 years.

            Revmjm, It sounds like you have a system that works for you.  I don't have that many groups or use FB that much because of time constraints. Whenever I promote on FB, my views/impressions go up.

            Obviously different things work for different people depending on subject and strategy. It is interesting to see the shared ideas.

            I keep in touch with my friends and family through FB. They bring me joy and laughter.

              Absolutely. As an immigrant, Facebook and Facetime are priceless for keeping in touch with my family

              I don't place any information that can feed scammers or criminals on FB and any social media platform.

                It's not that, it's the security breaches that have allowed FB users' phone numbers and data to be scraped, bought and published. FaceBook itself is the problem.
