Why Facebook gives warning for my website?

Discussion in 'Facebook' started by GoshM, Mar 21, 2010.

    I made a new website, and few hours ago i created a fan page for my web. But when you click on the link from the info tab on the page, Facebook gives a warning if you want to come to visit my website. Is it because my website is brand new or am i missing something? If anyone can tell me what might be the thing please let me know bcoz it pisses me off badly!!

    By the way my website is 100% legal and im offering my graphic design services there.

    I think its just a way of indemnifying themsleves from anything that on your site.
    If they use it on your page its probably the same for everyone.

    I think what your talking about is just Facebook doing what their lawyers tell them to do, and make sure facebook users are clear that they are leaving Facebook to go to your site, so that people don't go sending help requests to facebook, and so that if there's ever a lawsuit over somebody's stuff online, it's very clear for the courts Facebook was not involved.

    As for the SPAM post, did you report the post for the mods? I will do this as well for you, but if you won't know how already it's just the caution icon in the bottom left corner of the post, it's been moved with the new design/vb update.

    Agreed it's quite normal on facebook for an external link to get a warning page preceeding your actual page(link).

    Don't let it worry you OP.

    This is something that always happens to links outside facebook's own pages.

    I haven't noticed that warning before when i clicked on other peoples websites, but i guess because my web is new and it's not indexed in the search engines.

    Post your page. I doubt it has anything to do with your site. Perhaps some other links you've clicked on to other people's sites didn't have that warning for other reasons, like it was posted to Facebook before implementing the warning page, or it's from an ad or something... I don't know off hand cause I can't even see what you're talking about...

    Yeah I found the report button looking for the reputation button beside it, that you use to give rep to people who post helpful posts, I'm sure we'll all get used to it soon.

    You make it sound like your experience on facebook in regards to any external links has been very different form mine GoshM!

    I my experience all external links (other than approved adverts) always present a warning page explaining the page is not part of Facebook and is an external page beyond their control.

    Can you show an example of such an external link not flagged this way please?

    Check Russell Brunson FB profile and you'll find his website in the info tab. Click you'll see that there is no warning from facebook.
    @xInd I'm changing the header on my website so when i'm done i'll post it.
    And thanks again for the help guys!

    You could ask for the answer in the Facebook help desk, I personally figure it maybe your computer configuration problem, since I don't encount the situaltion as you are talking about.

    The reson is Facebook wanted to make aware its users that they are directing to an external site.

    Always glad to help. Have you got it all figured out now?
    Have you checked it in all browsers?
