Initial count on Like button

I just put a Like button up on my site and immediately the count is 25. What does this mean, since I'm sure 25 people haven't Liked the site already. Can I change this value?

Thanks, Steve

The Like Button Documentation says:

What makes up the number shown on my Like button?

The number shown is the sum of:

  • The number of likes of this URL
  • The number of shares of this URL (this includes copy/pasting a link back to Facebook)
  • The number of likes and comments on stories on Facebook about this URL
  • The number of inbox messages containing this URL as an attachment.

As far as I know, you cannot change the number manually.

As your app link: https://myapp.com shared in user profiles, facebook groups, facebook pages, your like count increments. Event it is deleted, as an example, facebook page owner doesn't want ad of your app, your like count doesn't decrement.

In your case as you have your domain, and as it is already mentioned above places, you've 25 likes.

  1. You can't change the count
  2. Make sure that the href is empty (if XFBML) or set to your page
  3. Try running your link on the debugger
