Search Engine Land’s Most-Shared Stories on Facebook for 2013: How To Survive Google, Plus A Joke Here & There

Search marketing friends — welcome, welcome! It’s time for another installment of our�Search Engine Land Year In Review series. We’ve toured through the�top news stories�and those that were most tweeted�–�now it’s time to scope out the articles, tutorials, resources, and surveys that were most shared on the world’s largest social network, Facebook.

Much of our “most popular on FB” posts you’ve already seen on the top tweeted list, but the order in which these stories rank is something of note. And for sure a few more playful posts made it into this roundup (April Fools, Easter Eggs), suggesting that tweet-streams are more of a place for hard-hitting news, whereas Facebook users might be more inclined to share light and pleasantly distracting posts with likeminded friends.

For all of our�most socially-shared stories of 2013, we used�Social Crawlytics, a free tool that analyzes each URL of a site to show how it�s been shared across top social sites. It’s a super useful�tool�to capture social plugin data and illuminate how �content resonates socially.

Alright, enough analysis – let’s get to the goods. Here you have them, the top 20 Search Engine Land stories shared on Facebook in 2013:
