Facebook to allow indexing of their site

Posted by Rob Atherton on Dec 15, 2009 in Facebook |

If you don’t know, as of today, Facebook will automatically allow Google and other search engines to index all your information. This will allow the information to appear in the search results.

However, it is easy enough to prevent this by changing your Facebook privacy settings.

To change this option, go to

Settings
–> Privacy Settings
–> Search

–> then UN-CLICK the box that says ‘Allow indexing’.
