Facebook has, very publicly, stated that they don't want search engines like Google and Bing to index your Facebook account. I have written prior to about how Facebook has had e-mail privacy problems and all sorts of other privacy issues when it comes to the information that we place on our Facebook profiles. Facebook merely doesn't want Google to index their web site. Now you are able to fight back if you want: right here is how you can allow the search engines like Google to index your personal Facebook profile.

I could have actually gone more than to my Facebook profile and merely saved the data or utilized a scraper plan to download my personal information. Nevertheless, I think that I am most likely certainly one of the very first individuals to make use of Facebook's personal download tool to download all of this information and then take it and add it to another place: all in fun, I might add, simply to permit the search engines to index my so-called "private Facebook information. I personally have absolutely nothing to conceal (except my e-mail deal with, but that's not a big deal anyway)!!! I did, just for your sake of performing it, I did edit the Facebook raw information and hid my 'real' email address from the public. There is no sense in permitting the indexing of email addresses. In the event you desire to get in touch with me, then really feel totally free to make use of the get in touch with web page on my web site.

If you are a normal reader of my weblog, you might recall that I lately wrote about how to download your Facebook information and the way Facebook has additional a hyperlink for you to download your personal Facebook information. You need to log into your Facebook account, click on the "Account Settings hyperlink on the leading right with the web page, after which click on around the "learn more link on that page. It's kind of hidden if you don't know exactly where to look.

Once you have taken the steps to download your Facebook info, Facebook will ultimately deliver you an email that your information is prepared. You need that email in order to obtain the hyperlink. Facebook gives you a special hyperlink to follow and once you go there you will obtain the download hyperlink. They tell you just how much data you are heading to download (I actually have it at 58mb, mostly because of a 39mb video file that I haven't incorporated on my site for bandwidth problems)!!! If you have a website, you might actually consider uploading all the files (it's in html format)!!! If you do not want people to have your e-mail address or other information you are able to definitely edit it in Notepad or your favorite online editor. I can see how this may be useful for some individuals, as they may buy their own domain title or private site upload the information.
