February 18, 2012

SEO Optimization

 

There is a new craze in social media networking Facebook land that is getting a lot of attention from the SEO assistants, social media marketers, Facebook Assistants, Facebook aficionados, and etc. This social media hysteria is caused by what is called Timeline, a reverse-chronological display of a user’s history on Facebook and other life event.

This new Facebook feature that is now officially available worldwide. This replaces and merges of a user’s Facebook Wall and Profile. Some of the Facebook users have started using Timeline and before you decide on getting a Timeline for your social media marketing, there are a number of things that you should know about its features.

No specific dates were announced but there will be a time when Timeline becomes non- optional. Presently, Facebook users are able to have the choice to opt to use Timeline. When you have decided to get Timeline, you will still have a seven-day preview including an option to delete the content that is on your Facebook profile and hide what you don’t want to be publicly displayed.

Facebook query:

Facebook Timeline, what is it?

Facebook Assistant answer:

Facebook Time is new section of your Facebook user’s account that substitutes the Wall and Profile pages, and combines them together. It displays the history of your life, as you choose to it or as Facebook has accounted it, in a visual, scrolling, reverse-chronologically ordered timeline.

It’s a cross mix between a weblog and online scrapbook. Did you know that Facebook Timeline was accidentally released very briefly to the public back in December 2010 and it was called Facebook Memories but it was quickly removed from Facebook.

Facebook query:

Facebook Timeline, where can I get it?

Facebook Assistant answer:

All you need is to directly go to the Facebook Timeline announcement page and click the green button at the bottom of the page that says “Get Timeline.” Remember there is no undo in clicking this button. But if you decided not to take this step, wait within the following weeks as Facebook will automatically turn on your Timeline.

Facebook query:

What is displayed in my Facebook Timeline?

Facebook Assistant answer:

Your Facebook status updates, photos, friendship created as well as job history, changes in your marital status and other relevant information that you’ve account in your profile is displayed.

Facebook query:

Lastly, is the Facebook Timeline replacing my Facebook wall?

Facebook Assistant answer:

The answer is “yes.” The new Facebook Timeline replaces your Profile and Wall but the great thing with it, it does not change your news feed page. So, when you log into your Facebook or go to Facebook.com that feed page of the Recent Stories will still be the same. It is only when you or your visitors go to your personalised Facebook URL, such http://www.facebook.com/phoenix.force1as they’ll be able to see your Facebook Timeline instead of your old profile wall and information.

Then, you will be wondering, what is the effect of Facebook Timeline in terms of internet marketing and search engine optimization? Even the SEO assistants are bombarded with the question, will Timeline make a lot of website owners very happy? As we know that Facebook has been successful through the wildfire spread effect of its ‘Like’ button in Facebook Connection which allowed you to use your Facebook profile to log onto a particular website and sometimes to make a personal purchase or to just to become a member or simple to comment.

Now with the new Facebook Timeline, you have still have to go through the same login process but now sharing what you do is much more detailed than the previous Facebook setup, depending solely on your privacy settings, showing what you have been doing, where you have been, also what you have been actively sharing.

While it is still very early to judge the SEO effect of Facebook Timeline in your social media networking and social media marketing, we still have to wait patiently to see what upgrade will generate. But it is undeniable that Facebook’s is an effective and powerful social media platform capable of delivering an incredible amount of personalised interlinked data to your Facebook account.

With this large amount of data broadcast about you and this site from a Facebook share or ‘Like’ to an entire unique list of interactive actions which are shared amongst your Facebook network of friends.
