In order to actively use this option, you must first log in to your account. For this purpose, there is a VKontakte my page - the personal page of the user who has registered in this program.
When you open this service, you are immediately taken to the news feed. If you are logging in for the first time, then you need to register by entering the password and login you created.
In order to confirm the registration process, you will need to enter your mobile phone number. Such information is also needed to identify the user if you forget your login or password.
If you constantly log in from the same browser, you can select the “remember password” option and then, if you want to log into VK, when entering your page, you no longer need to enter your password and login.
How to see what my VK page looks like
How do my friends see my page? Is there a difference between what my subscribers and I see on my page? Let’s answer right away - there is a difference! And this difference exists not only for you and others - on VKontakte you can adjust the degree of display for each individual friend individually! This opens up enormous opportunities for page customization, although by the way, most people do not use all the available functionality. In order to look at yourself from the outside, you need to click on the avatar image in the upper right corner of the page. Next, select Settings from the drop-down menu. In this menu, pay attention to the right sidebar and click Privacy there. In this section, you can configure the display of most site elements for different visitors, and you can see how it will look by clicking on the link at the end of the section. There you will see everything!
How to log into your VK page without a login and password
Your login and password are used to enter the personalized part of VKontakte - My Page, as well as to protect your account from access by others. To put it very briefly, logging in with a login and password is a necessary thing, although it is a little inconvenient - entering a rather complex password and a tricky login every time is troublesome and time-consuming. How to simplify the entrance to My VKontakte page without significantly reducing security standards? There are two very simple solutions:
1. If you use a personal computer or laptop to log into VKontakte, it is best to set up a system for auto-saving login and password. In this case, on your computer you just need to click on the Login button - and the browser itself will log into the social network. 2. If you use a smartphone to stay on VKontakte, you can log in without entering your username and password through the official VKontakte application.
Options for my VKontakte page
If you have registered and completed the VKontakte my page login option, you can now proceed to the main settings.
Here, you can see information about the user, his friends, the music he likes to listen to, the videos that users add to their page.
Also, if there is a main photo installed, then you can see the user’s avatar.
Login to VK
Therefore, when you enter the main page, you will be able to see the following information:
- user avatar;
- information about place of residence, study and work;
- photos that the user added to his page;
- friends;
- videos that were added to the page;
- music;
- status that can be updated at will;
- search string;
- a user's wall with posts posted on it;
- contextual navigation.
You can see all this data if the owner of the page has not blocked any of this information.
User avatar
If you need to find someone from your family or friends using V.VK, the easiest way to do this is by entering the first and last name in the search bar.
All the people you may know who bear this first and last name will appear before you.
In order to select the right person, you can look at the user’s avatar - this is the main photo. It happens that people post photos that are not their own, then finding them becomes a very difficult task.
Many users take a virtual photo. These are probably the names of the option that can most often be edited.
In order to change your photo, you need to go to vk my page, then select the “change thumbnail” function and select and install the appropriate photo.
If the photo is already set, you can change the area of the photo that will be visible. To do this, click on the “change thumbnail” prompt.
Basic user information
This is a rather interesting item that the contact my page menu offers.
Here you can write down your date of birth, place of birth, city of residence, place of study, and you can also tell your friends about your interests.
It is from this data that people who go to this section on your page will be able to find out what books you have read, what films you have watched, what music you like to listen to and much other information.
At the end of such a block there is space to write a little about yourself. This could be a short description of your hobby, your thoughts, or some quote you like.
There is another option that allows other users to find out more information about you, study your morals and inner world.
This is a broadcast of the music you are currently listening to on your page.
This function is very convenient in that other users will be able to listen to the same music; to do this, you need to go to my contact page, enter my page and at the top, where there is information about the song, select “connect”.
Activity of fans and non-fans in the community
In each community from the Top 30, we counted active users for the entire period of their existence. Active ones include those who performed any of the following actions: wrote a post on the wall, liked a post or comment, or added their own comment.
- 1+ fans actions — the number of users among fans of the community with one or more actions in it.
- 1+ non-fans actions — the number of users who are not members of the community who performed one or more actions in it.
- 1+ fans vs non-fans actions - the ratio of active fans and non-fans in the community.
News and, to a lesser extent, business and socio-political media that claim to provide information promptly, including on social networks, are characterized by a high percentage of non-fan actions. This indicates the high viral potential of the content.
A significant percentage of non-fan actions in popular science media groups, in our opinion, may indicate the viral potential of high-quality entertainment content.
For glossy media groups, a large number of non-fan actions is uncharacteristic; the potential of their viral content is low.
NTV's indicators were greatly affected by the March scandal after the airing of the film "Anatomy of a Protest", the number of non-fan actions in the group is very large.
Photos
Very often, other people visit your page or add you as friends just to look at your photos. You can add different images from your life here.
They can be sorted into separate albums, for which you can then come up with interesting names.
You will also be able to see the added photos. To do this, you need to go to the section called “photos” on the social network VKontakte my page.
You can add comments to your own and other people's images.
Also, a special option was invented for this section - “likes”. You can put “like” under the photo you liked.
If you are in this photo, then you can select “share”, and then this image will appear on your wall.
So, thanks to this section, you have the opportunity to:
- add your photos for review by other users;
- view images of your friends or acquaintances, or people you don’t know at all;
- use “likes” to indicate that you liked the photo;
- comment on both your own and other people’s images;
- share other photos on your wall;
- choose from the added photos an image for your avatar.
You can also select a command that allows only those people who have added you as friends to view images.
How to remove unnecessary messages from your feed
Not all news is equally useful. If you want to maintain a subscription to a community or person, but their posts in your feed, you can remove . This is done like this:
- In the right menu, already familiar to us, there is a funnel icon between the word “News” and the plus sign. This is a filter. Click on it and you will get this window:
It is similar to the tab customization window and works the same way. Only here the entire list of friends and groups is initially shown.
- Uncheck those groups (or friends) whose news you don’t need in your feed.
- If you uncheck the “Show copies” checkbox (below), then reposts will no longer appear in your feed.
- Save your changes.
Friends category
An equally interesting section that can be found on the VKontakte website when entering my page.
In this menu you can see all those people whom you have added to your friends by confirming the request from them. You can also send someone a request to be added.
To do this, when entering another user’s page, you must select “add as friend.” If the request is approved, then after some time this person will appear on your friends list.
There is another interesting option here. You will be able to see a list of so-called potential friends - those people who have common acquaintances with you.
Other contextual navigation block options
After logging into the VKontakte ru network, login my page, on the left, in front of you there will be a menu with sections that you can click on and immediately go to them. These are the following sections:
- My page. When you click on this offer, you can update the information on your page.
- Video recordings. Here you have the opportunity to add a new video that you liked, or view a video you previously added. Like photos and videos, you can comment on them, share them, or tag the people who are present in them. If you liked the video, you can like it.
- There is another very interesting section in the menu - news. Here you can find out a lot of interesting things. Thanks to this option, you can find out the latest news from the lives of those people who have been added to your friends. This is also how added photos are displayed. If you have joined any groups, then the latest posts from them will also be visible here.
- For many, the most interesting option of this social network is the “messages” section. Here you can both send and receive notifications from other users. In the field you can enter not only regular text, but also send photos, images or songs. Many users register and create their own account just for this option.
- You can choose what you like and join various groups. If you select “join the group”, you can see the entire update in your news. There is a list of groups you might like in the sidebar. They are selected based on information about your place of residence and interests.
Even when you log in to vkontakte ru, you will be able to add documents that you need to save. So, when you add them to the “documents” section, they will be saved on your page.
You can also choose games that you like and add them to your page. Recently, another option was added - “products”.
In this section, you can make a variety of purchases without leaving your home, and even more so, without leaving your favorite social network. Here you can also find a list of products and services that have been added by your friends.
The VKontakte administration is making constant changes to make using the page more convenient.
Create your “favorites” VK
Thanks to the features that the popular social network offers, you can set up news groups in the community. This can be done by grouping information:
- By tags. Using this method, you can group all the news from one community.
- Considering the list of friends. Thanks to this option, you can select a news group from individual friends, such as colleagues, which will be displayed separately.
In addition, the user has the opportunity to group news on VK, according to his own invented options. In order to make a new grouping, you need:
- In the right menu, click on the plus sign;
- you need to select the “add tab” function. After opening a new window, you need to come up with a new name for your newsgroup;
- in the listing that is displayed below, you need to check the box next to the appropriate item. Friends are registered here first and only then communities. After you check the boxes, news from these categories will be displayed in your group;
- Next, to confirm your actions, you must select the “save” option;
- a new tab has now been created.
Now you can track only the information that is truly interesting to you.
In addition, contact news has some additional functions. So, by clicking on the plus sign on the right, you have the opportunity to choose only to view photos from a certain circle of friends.
When you take about and check the corresponding item, and then select it in the menu, then you will be able to see in the news photos and videos that your friends previously liked.
Wall of Records
Often, when you enter a user’s page, you can find out a lot of information about him.
You can guess his mood and see what such a person likes. You can even predict the character. To do this, you just need to go to the “my page” of this user and carefully read all the posts on his wall. Usually, people share those quotes that are close to them in spirit.
Often users post their photos on the wall so that other people can see and appreciate them. Your friends there can leave you different messages, pictures, videos, or songs.
Usually, users thus congratulate one another on their birthday. This is very interesting, because such posts can be seen by all the people who have been added to your friends.
If you do not want other users to leave you a notification or notes there, then you can select a function in the settings according to which only you can write something on your wall.
Top line of the control panel
This is one of the most important elements of this social network. If you perform these steps on VKontakte my page, go immediately, before your eyes there will be a special line at the top on which five main elements are placed. These are the logos:
- name of the social network;
- search string;
- notification icon;
- music;
- block where you can make the necessary settings.
At the same time, when you click on the name of the social network, you will go to your main page, this will happen no matter what section you are in.
Along with this, using search, you can find the people, groups, music, videos, or other information you need.
When you enter a word or sentence, the system will offer all possible results for this search.
The bell icon indicates new notifications that may be of interest to you. This could be some important news in the group, or your friends added some photo where you are also present.
Next is an icon, by clicking on which you can listen to the song, it has been added to your page. If you select this option, then in the form of a list you will be able to see all the song options from which you can make your choice.
The last icon that is located on the control panel is the settings icon. It has the following functions: editing information that is posted on the VK network on my page.
There is also “help” here, where there is the necessary information about the problem that has arisen, and a logout button, thanks to which you can log out of your account. Also, there is a settings function with which you can set the privacy level for your page.

After entering such data, after some time you will receive a new password to log into the social network.

What to do if the page is frozen?
There are times when you want to reproduce the following actions: log in to VKontakte, open my page, but you cannot do this because it is blocked.
This happens, most often, due to a violation of some user rule. This could be for the following reasons: receiving a complaint against you, sending a large number of messages from your account.
Typically, you will receive information about page freeze lines. In such cases, you just need to wait out this period.
If such data is not indicated, then you can contact the VK administration support service for unblocking.

The most popular lifestyle publications on VKontakte are Afisha and Look at Me. On average, 64% of posts in such groups contain links, 32% - photos.
The Russian Reporter community has the largest number of participants among socio-political media groups; the Dozhd TV channel page has a slightly smaller number of subscribers. On average, 2/3 of the posts of such groups contain links, and every fourth contains a photo.
Among the media that made it into the Top 30, there is only one cultural publication—Rolling Stone magazine. 41% of posts in his group contain photos, 33% contain links.
The studied media groups have a fairly high percentage of high-quality audiences—93–95%. On average, this figure for brands was 80%. Komsomolskaya Pravda had a significantly higher level of blocked users (about 40%) than other media outlets in the rating, which may indirectly indicate the use of “gray” methods of attracting audiences.
There are 2 strategies for posting content in the media:
1. Redirecting the user to the media website (links predominate). This approach is typical for business, socio-political, news media, as well as lifestyle media.
2. Retaining a VKontakte user and distributing content within the network (photos and videos predominate). This strategy is typical for popular science and cultural media.
Glossy publications do not have a clear strategy or predominant type of content.
