Several sources have indicated that “Like” pages will bite the dust in November. Users can no longer be forced to like a page before seeing its content or entering a promotion.

Some online marketers may be upset by this, but I think it is good news.  We should be getting followers because they like the content of our page and the info we are providing, not because we force them to “like” the page to see other content.

Adam says:

It used to be that Facebook Page owners who wanted to respect their users’ choices and not use like gates were at a disadvantage. Their like count grew slowly and they fell behind their competitors. By banning like gates, Facebook has leveled the playing field. Pages will have to work harder to earn likes and follows after users have read what they have to say. And that’s good news, especially for small businesses that have loyal customers and a unique voice.
