FB photo most likes - ways to get more?

Hi all,

Is there a way to druum up likes for fb comps, I've entered a few photos and my lovely family and friends have liked my pics but I as always lose out, its like not being popular enough at school! I entered this week to win something we need for our little girl, got up to 70 likes and still someone has more! I posted on the referrals page but wondered if there's any more I can do, I had my heart set on a new changing bag as the zip bust on ours, its the same brand and style so I thought it was karma!

    There are sites where people can buy votes, so anyone playing by the rules doesn't stand a chance I'm afraid.

    'Like' & vote comps are just horrid & I avoid them like the plague.

    As Barnabysue says you can buy/swap votes too easily so the winner is never the genuine winner always the one with the biggest social network :(

    I agree. I don't do FB comps where you have to gather your own votes. If it's a real vote the winner should be the best, not the one who can nag in more friends to vote. I'm also going off FB comps in general. There is so much about them that doesn't feel right. I'm not saying I'm giving them up completely, but I find I'm moving on now with comps that I would've entered a while ago, because I don't trust them :(:(:(

    Me too, I'm avoiding 'Like & Share' comps unless they're being run by well known Companies. I know even they can be 'choosy' who wins, but I have had some small wins from them, so not all of them are untrustworthy.

    The OP did say that he had already posted on the referrals page.
