Does anyone have a Google search string to pick up fanpages of certain niches? i.e:

site:www.facebook.com + "niche" + "city, state"

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Is this what your looking for?
    Original thread here, its old but should still work

    ===


    step 1) open google.com

    Basic Generic Search - Yields - Facebook pages w/ emails

    step 2) paste this into google and click search

    Code:
    "Email" site:http://www.facebook.com/pages/    inurl:?sk=info
    The break down
    ---

    Code:
    site:http://www.facebook.com/
    Google is only searching FaceBook

    /pages/ is how face book sets up business pages

    inurl:?sk=info this makes sure you search Facebook INFO page and we use the URL flag to do it

    As you can see there are literally billions returned and the businesses are from all over the world

    So lets Refine our search to a specific area I live in Daytona so im going to use that.

    Code:
    "Email:" inurl:?sk=info Daytona Beach Florida site:http://www.facebook.com/pages/
    as you can see its > 6,800 results 90% Daytona Business owners with a email

    Lets Refine our search even more lets look for specific type of business in Orlando
    I will do attorneys, because i love getting money from them , and ill do orlando, because
    it is a bit larger then daytona

    Code:
    "Email:" inurl:?sk=info "Orlando" "Attorney" site:http://www.facebook.com/pages/
    625 results

    yes you can search by zip code as well

    Code:
    "Email:" inurl:?sk=info "08733" site:http://www.facebook.com/pages/
    Now if you are more into if the business has a website instead of email keep the search the same
    only change the "Email" to "Website:"

    Code:
    "Website:" inurl:?sk=info "Orlando" "Attorney" site:http://www.facebook.com/pages/
    Here is how you do it if you want a Business that has a website AND email address

    Code:
    "Email:" "Website:" inurl:?sk=info "Orlando" "Attorney" site:http://www.facebook.com/pages/
    Ok that's enough of that for now. If you have business names and addresses and you want to
    verify if they have a facebook page do a search like this

    Code:
    "Wall" site:http://www.facebook.com/pages/Snapshot Interactive   inurl:?sk=info
    you don't have to use "Wall" you can just search like this

    Code:
    site:http://www.facebook.com/pages/Snapshot Interactive   inurl:?sk=info
    however if you do use "Wall" and the inurl:?sk=info you are basically double dipping your search
    and have a larger chance of finding it

    If you search via Business name leave the spaces in the name ... if there are commas or any
    punctuation , remove it.

    You can also search by address like this

    Code:
    "Wall" site:http://www.facebook.com/pages/1010 Fatherland Street  inurl:?sk=info

      Google thinks you're a scraping software.

      You need to use proxies or space your searches or make it bring a lot fewer results... i.e., look for sections of subniches... Don't look for Daytona attorneys, look for dui attorneys in Daytona...

      But proxies is best.

      .The tighter the search the faster they will captcha you.

      Type out the captcha or use a proxy.

      or loosen up the search some

        Thanks for that string Ken.

        This might be stretching it a bit, but does anyone have a string where, you enter something as this example

        'keyword'; 'city'; 'email'; and 'likes >200'

    If you are looking for pages on Facebook why not just use their search feature? Google can deliver the results but inside FB you got much more data about the page or group from the results then you do from Google.
