Facebook, the social networking giant, announced today on their developers website that they are opening their Application Directory and App pages to people who are not logged in…and allow search engines to index the pages. Yup, you know all of those applications that you see on Facebook, well now everyone can find them – not just registered users. This is a huge deal for all of those developers out there who are trying to get their application to be the next big thing for Facebook users.
The information that will be available for search engines will include reviews and the app discussion board. Akhil Wable, a leader developer at Facebook, had this to say about the announcement: "The goal of this change is to increase visibility for your applications, so users can find applications that they love using, and you can have more potential users trying your applications. You should start seeing your application about pages in web search results in a few days."
So expect to see more articles on "Facebook SEO" in the next few days, because as we all know nothing drives SEO like money.
