Google Image Search

Just wondering, why does the google image search not pick up any facebook shares of your art. It picks up Pinterest . I just noticed several of my works have multiple fb shares and I am not even on facebook. So, I ran an image search and noticed that there were no facebook hits, in any...hmmmm

it depends how public you are. if you have your settings marked as private or for friends then your hidden from google as well. sometimes you can look for an image then type a location in the search bar to give you totally different results than the usual 2 pages. add facebook or pinterest etc - and it will narrow down to just that 1 location.

Also, Google doesnt seem to index FB well, even on public stuff.

FB doesnt really like scrapers (thats what the Google Bot is), and you have to have explicit permission (See here: https://www.facebook.com/apps/site_scraping_tos_terms.php) from them to do it, or they block you.

No idea if Google have permission or not, but they dont seem to have 'that' much in the index for FB.

Also, alot of FB is Javascript built, so the bots cant see so much of it (probably only the first few posts on each public wall), thats probably why most links in the index are actually to the m.facebook url, which is the mobile 'cutdown' version of FB.

People tend to think their bizness is private on FB.

Several years ago I told the truth about someone to someone else in a rather short FB post.

Boy did it hit the fan. The truth on FB is left out. Now if bots had the truth.....mega tons of it hitting the fan.....

The person I told the truth to had heard the stuff for close to two decades, but seeing it in writing where
her friends, who all knew it very long in advance, could all read it......
