Although it is a bit of an old one now, it’s always a useful reminder of where the clicks are going on that all important first page in Google.

Enjoy!

As it has been made very apparent in the recent news, facebook users’ profiles are open for all to see. The change in privacy settings has exposed huge numbers of users to having their profile appearing in the search engines. As social networking continues to grow and more people join these websites, their security issues can esculate.

By simply opening your profile and selecting privacy settings from the ‘My Account’ tab at the top of the page you can view all your privacy settings immediately.

Setting your profile to”friends only” can stop your profile being shown on google and other search engines reducing the amount of information you share online. It’s certainly sensible these days to only add details to your social media profiles that you really don’t mind sharing with the world, as you never know, the world just might be looking.
