As I told everyone already ... Facebook LIKES are totally fake and useless. If you want people to like your page or comments, get real friends to like the!

"Facebook "likes" are being added to webpages even if a user has not clicked a like button, or even visited the page in question, the company has admitted.

A US security researcher found that simply sending a web address to a friend using Facebook's private messaging function would add two likes to that page. Leaving a comment on a story within Facebook also adds to the tally. The site told the BBC that no private information had been exposed.

The revelations coincided with the news that the network has surpassed one billion monthly active monthly users. "Many websites that use Facebook's 'like' or 'recommend' buttons also carry a counter next to them," the site explained.

"This counter reflects the number of times people have clicked those buttons and also the number of times people have shared that page's link on Facebook."
