With Facebook’s new Shops, I thought it would be a good idea to have a thread devoted to them. And by having the links here, it’s a great way for the search engines to find them.
Why? Because this is a public forum and Facebook doesn’t let search engines index what’s on Facebook.
So drop off your Facebook Shop link here (with a screenshot preferably) and get more exposure.
I don’t think forum content is indexed either (ie is set to NOT be searched). I suspect this as to date I have never seen anything show up in relation to Zazzle forums. Testing via 'specific forum ‘thread titles’ would be easy way to test this theory.
I searched a few of the show me forum titles (as a search phrase the way a user would) and even with zazzle added on the end none of the threads were showing in first few pages of Google. It is likely some forum types are indexed and others not, and ‘show me’ forum, not.
It demonstrates that Google indexes this, the ShowMe forum. By including the site: part it tells Google to restrict the search just to the place that follows site:
When you do that, it finds this forum thread.
Without including the site: part the search result could be many pages deep in the results returned by Google.
How careless of me - I think the expected ShowMe forum result doesn’t show up yet as Google hasn’t got round to reindexing it yet.
Try this search instead:
site:https://community.zazzle.com “Show Your Mugs Here”
and you’ll see that the thread does show up. I know it’s an old one but it demonstrates that the ShowMe forum does get indexed.
yes, it does show, the ones I looked at must also be too recent. This is good news, sorry for taking your thread off topic, hopefully now matter cleared up mod can remove my posts. @Scott
Well done, it’s beautiful. FB nor Instagram ever accepted my links and for the life of me, could never get anything to go through. But that was a couple years ago.
Did you just create this, or is it from a while back? Maybe I need to try again
