Google+ posts are rated unsurprisingly much higher in Google results than Facebook posts.

  Are Facebook posts even indexed? I don't recall ever seeing one. I just tried a few searches and can't find anything. Is there even such a thing as a 'personal Facebook post that's public'? As you can tell I'm not a regular user...

    Yes there is, it's just not included in search engines.
    • andybak 14y ago
      Any idea why? Are they linkable? Can you provide an example url?

        I don't have a Facebook account, but you can search Twitter and find a lot of them. I suspect you would need to be logged in, even if they are public.

  Facebook's robots.txt looks pretty restrictive: http://facebook.com/robots.txt http://facebook.com/robots.txt Their sitemap doesn't even load for me. (I don't use Facebook so I don't know how much this covers, but it's an interesting read compared to http://plus.google.com/robots.txt. http://plus.google.com/robots.txt.)

    User-agent: * Disallow: / Yep, pretty much everything.

  I don't think Google can even index most Facebook posts.

  One of my SEO savvy friends was recently telling me that being reshared by high-authority profiles on Google+ is currently one of the best ways to get a massive boost in your google rankings.
