Default over 100 likes on Facebook in 48hrs before any marketing... spam bots?

Hey, Wondering if anyone else has had something weird like that happen to one of their facebook pages before.

I have a page for each of my games and a page for my company and none of them ever saw this type of "liking". Is it all spammers and bots?

I got 100+ likes in about 48 hrs, no posts to the page by any of them yet and they all seem to be normal profiles but im sure their all spam bots... Its just strange that this is the first time that this has happened despite my many other pages.

Anyways, just felt like sharing.

That's pretty weird. If they look normal, maybe they are. Maybe you got mentioned on a site or blog? I would just ask your new fans.

Someone probably linked to your page from a blog or status update. I agree though, I would just ask one of them where they came from. That way you can at least thank the source.

Yeah still have no idea... now over 250 likes... and about 700 impressions per post.

I know who about 30 of them are (friends and such) but the others seem to be completely inactive, Infact they flaged my iTunes link to my app as spam and facebook blocked it LMAO, I was pissed and sent them and email about how stupid it is that fans of your page have control over your link... but all is fixed (just reposted the links)

But for stradegy, I really just posted on a few forums, made a twitter, added links from the twitter, app, and website all link to the facebook but I dont think that has added much traffic either. I had about 30 friends before the game was even released and I didnt tell anyone about it so your guess is as good as mine. My other app OMG Blocks did not have the same thing happen... Granted 123 Speed Bubble was free and a thousand times more successfull sofar... Still a mystery lol.
