Does Facebook demote links to pages that contain affiliate links?

2 replies
I recently read that Facebook demotes posts made to Fan pages via outside tools like HootSuite. Then I noticed something else...

This week I wrote an article that contained some affiliate links, and then posted a link to it like I do with every article. Normally, my articles get around 1,200 - 2000 impressions (with 1,200 Likes), but this one only got 800.

Do you think Facebook scans web pages for affiliate links and demotes them so people won't see them as much? That's the only thing I can think of.

    This is the first time I've heard of this. Need to check. Hope it's not real though.
