Can Facebook notes rank well in google ?

[RoniShwartz]

Hi everybody,

I have a few content-rich Facebook pages (fan pages), each devoted to a well designated niche...

Lately, I started to post "notes" in my pages, after I was told they have a good chance to rank well in Google...

Does anyone has a good experience with FB notes ? Would you mind giving some tips ?

Thanks, Roni

That's a good question. I don't know if I've ever noticed a facebook note in the search results.

FB notes are a good marketing tool if you them properly. They are just like a blog posts. You can update them and also have a good commenting system, people can even subscribe to your Notes RSS feed. when adding a new note, you should write the Title and Subject to be better indexed by Google

I've just started to create "notes" of my FB fanpage, as quite a few people are dominating page one for various electronic product keyword phrases mainly promoting Amazon, so it certainly seems to work and unless Google or Facebook change this great tool, it's a very effective way in which to promote both psychical and digital products and it normally takes three weeks in which to get these kind of pages indexed with Google.

Facebook notes seem to rank very highly. If you take any random product with a unique reference and Google it, the likelyhood is that a Facebook notes page will be on page one of Google.

Can you show us a FB page dominating the SERPs for a decent keyword?

I'm not saying it can't be done, just that I've never seen anyone do that. I guess a better question is why would they do that, instead of ranking their own site/page?

I do it for my local clients. It is in addition to their main website not instead of their main website. I try to get 3-4 of their web properties onto the first page of the SERP for each keyword. Those properties can be a blog, facebook page, youtube video, etc.

Same thing would make sense for an IM niche. Try to get more of the page one clicks by having multiple sites in the top 10.

Makes sense,

At first I thought they were talking about only ranking a FB page & nothing else.

Yes, I have seen Facebook notes ranking in search engines and even some dominated the top spot. I have Googled some PC troubleshootinh (I forgot the keyword) and Google returned me with an FB note from a certain FB page. I thing Facebook will play a major role in IM in the future if it manages to stay active.

Facebook provides a nofollow links so it will not helps you in getting rank. Fb notes will only helps you when keyword is less competitive.

I had never seen a facebook notes in Google SERP. Anyone of you have ever seen it in Google?

[Craig McPherson]

I have literally seen hundreds. This is red hot at the minute and you should jump all over it.

This begs the question....why on earth are you trying to
rank FB notes? Accidentally is one thing. But how can
you rank FB notes accidentally over something else
for anything worth a darn? So, why go to the trouble
of ranking FB notes? Man I don't have enough time in
the day to work on real stuff to rank....let alone
something like FB notes. Even if I did. I wouldn't.

I was looking at a guide today for ranking easily in google, I could not see the website in the search results, but did see an FB notes page ranking well ( the search term was milwaukee 1676-6 hole hawg )
Did a bit of investigation, and ended up on this thread.

Was not aware of facebook notes before this morning

If they rank quickly and easily, why not? FB notes are definitely something I'm going to test in the near future, and if they rank relatively easily for low-mid range keywords I'll outsource it.

Nothing wrong with making some quick money as long as you don't rely on it long term.

Hey Guys,

Does anyone know how long it takes for Facebook notes to get ranked in Google without building any links to the note?

I created this Facebook note on 04/11/2011 after reading a few good thinks about Facebook notes; What Is Protein Deficiency And How Can You Avoid It? | Facebook

However, 10 days later it is still not showing up in Google. I've searched the Internet for information on how long Facebook notes take to rank but unfortunately cannot find anything.

Would love to hear the thoughts of anyone who has some experience ranking Facebook notes.

Cheers,

Tom

Seems as though the time making it happen would be better spent doing something else... based on what I read in this post's replies and my personal experiences.

You may well be right Jon. However, there are quite a few positive responses in this thread so I wouldn't write them off just yet. Plus, I have already created the note so it really isn't going to cost me any more time.

Anyone else got any experience with ranking Facebook notes? I'm not so interested in how they convert and perform - I just want to know from past experience how long Google takes to rank them.

[vpunch]

Social networking is great for getting your word out there but I like readining opinions on the subject. Gives me a fresh angle. Thank you everyone.

[Tracyyang]

well, it's said that Google ranking will give more importance to SNS notes, who knows how the algorithm will be.

I have created a few FB notes and they aren't showing up in Google at all. I have created zero backlinks.
Can anyone clarify how long it takes to show?

Many thanks in advance

I'm not so sure, Abdul. I have seen FB pages rank high for certain keywords. Frustratingly, I have created about 10 FB notes, about a week ago and still have not seen them index.
