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