SEO Improvement for Application Directory
October 20, 2007
Facebook has revealed an exciting change today with regards to the Application Directory and application “about” pages. These pages will become visible to the public and search engines, meaning that individual applications can be optimized for search engines by targeting specific keywords and key phrases.
The intention of the change is not only to allow people to find information about published Facebook applications, but also to enable anyone in the world to access comments and reviews left by Facebook users about an application to learn what it has to offer.
Facebook assures that no private information will be revealed to the public with this change.
As always, we’ve made sure that this change respects everyone’s privacy settings. This means that:
- We will show only first names for all users, and a profile picture will be displayed only if the user allows it in their public listing. This includes the developers of the app.
- Logged out users will only have read access to the content on the about pages.

Got something to say?
I’d like to think this was in part spurred by the fact that Adonomics is usually on the first page any time you search for a Facebook application name. :)
