Facebook announced today that they will be changing the way they serve up posts that link to outside sites. Click Baiting, as the practice is called, is when a post is made with little information. Think of posts that you see that say "Click Here To See More". Facebook is now going to measure the time that a user clicks on a link and then returns back to use Facebook. They are going to make certain assumptions. They will assume that if you click a link and then immediately come back to Facebook that you did not find the content valuable.

Many sites are using time spent as a metric for content performance. It is understood that if a visitor spends time on your site that you are serving up good content. If they are not spending any extended time, it is assumed that you are not.
