Got the idea to give this a little test today.  I setup a fan page on Facebook to promote myself and see if I can get it to show up for a general search.  Like anything else on the Internet, it's going to need some inbound links pointing to it, but it's got some great attributes from day 1:
  • URL with keyword phrase in ithttp://www.facebook.com/pages/Internet-Marketing-Expert/83917058869 (even has dashes in it which google sees as spaces)
  • Authoritative domain: it's Facebook after all, the site has over 189,000,000 pages indexed and 657,000,000 links pointing to it.
  • Nice title tag: Facebook | Internet Marketing Expert
  • Nice H1 tag: Internet Marketing Expert
  • Keyword-rich content: I added my blog feed so above every post it inserts your name, mine being the keyword Internet Marketing Expert...
Time will tell if one can get a Facebook fan page to rank high for a competitive search, but it's certainly worth the test!  Help me out and become a fan of my Internet Marketing Expert Facebook page.

How did your test go? I like doing tests like this too. I found some ways to increase visibility on other network sites which I will DM you on Twitter.

After a brief stint on page 3 in the SERPs it's now on page 6. It needs a healthy amount of link building which I haven't done yet. The little spare time I can muster up is devoted to building links to this domain. I'll keep an eye out for your tips - thanks!
