I need some input from some of you guru's on facebook, SEO & Google?

I am new to the forum and have been buying wso's for a couple months. In all the info I have collected I have learned some great information and I am starting to use it.

I have several of the wordpress themes/plugins for facebook. My question is:
If I am using a wordpress site in a facebook tab, how is google going to crawl it?

If I have my wordpress setup as domain.com/fanpages/ and my fanpage is facebook.com/fanpage

will google see this as duplicate content?

I really only want google to index/crawl the actual fan page. will google index each page that is being pulled on facebook?

I do not want google to index/crawl the domain.com/fanpages/ site because it will not look right in the google listings as it is created for facebook. If I set wordpress not to index/crawl the site (pretty easy in wp), will that keep google from crawling it by following the page links in the facebook tab/pages?

I bet I have bought 30-40 wso's on seo, facebook, etc in the last 2 months and none of them cover this subject. But it's something that I think everyone who uses the wordpress fb pages would want to know.

Sounds like a pretty good WSO for someone.....But please tell me the details first

In your wordpress theme, change the privacy setting to only to people and not search engines. That is the default anyway but check it to make sure in your settings under privacy.

Thanks TopKat,

That is what I wanted to do but I want to be sure that doing that will not keep google from crawling/indexing the content on my fan page? Since the fan pages are pulled from the wordpress site that I setup for people only and not search engines?

To be honest I do not know if the search engines will crawl the actual pages in the fan page iframe? Do they only crawl the initial page facebook.com/fanpage or will they crawl the content in my pages?
Should I SEO the wordpress pages for the search engines to find through my fan page?
