Get Facebook “Like” count for every page on my domain

Question

I have integrated the Facebook \"Like\" button into a lot of pages in my site. I want to display the most \"Liked\" pages on my site in a list, but I can\'t figure out how

Answer 1

Maybe you can just query the number of likes for each page each time the page is viewed. This won't be precise, but keeping in mind that the most popular pages will be viewed more often it might be good enough.

Additionally, you can use a batch process to query the number of likes of all the page or at least the top N last created ones every couple of hours. Most of the time you won't get the correct result, but in most cases your users don't need the correct result but a good enough approximation.
