Hi there

Does anyone know about facebook links? i noticed that one of my url's was in another members profile page and their page was a PR8 !

so i was wondering if anyone knows whether facebook . com if any PR would flow through. couldnt see any nofollow tags on view source.

any experiences with face book ?

I am just wondering how this members page could possibly have a pr of 8. I find that very unlikely, and I have not found my links from facebook to be recorded by Google or yahoo.

is member profiles avaible for the search engines?

did you check it?

Since facebook isn't accessible if you're not logged in, I find it highly unlikely that google crawls the profiles.

yeah right

Yes, I was wrong: there are public profiles out there, but the majority isn't. See: http://www.seroundtable.com/archives/014283.html

Facebook is far less publicly accessible than myspace, probably one of the reasons why parents like it more.

So to the OP: depends if the profile is actually indexed in google - but if it is, and it has PR8, it likely does - if the link is on the public profile. But the profile that's shown to people who aren't logged in (like google is likely to be), doesn't seem to show external links: For instance: http://www.facebook.com/p/Dave_Tompkins/21008544 doesn't have external links. That was one of the highest ranking profiles in a facebook.com search and it only has pr3 - so I don't think it's likely that any profile has PR8.

No they don't pass PR because you have to login first ;)

yes you are right i had to login to get to that page, but was v. surprised to see such a pr rank on this type of page. very strange.
