avoid having your Facebook profile indexed by search engines


When someone searches for your profile on search engines (Google, Yahoo, Bing etc.) they’ll hit your public search instance (that includes a thumbnail, your name as recorded on Facebook database, your regional network etc.).

You can easily keep your online privacy by avoid having your public search listing crawled (and thus shown) by search engines. Just follow these steps in order to do so:

* Login to your Facebook account
* Hit Privacy
* Hit Search
* Now deselect the following statement: “Create a public search listing for me and submit it for search engine indexing.”
* Hit Save

You have just made sure that your profile won’t be showing up on search engines. Allow a month or so to have it removed from the search engine result pages.
