How to Protect Your Privacy From Social Graph on Facebook



Facebook's Social Graph has been rolled out to the public now and personally, I don't like it. I liked being able to search in the old search bar method and find people and things I didn't know existed. With the Social Graph, it is an individual users' nightmare, while it is helpful to marketers. But, one thing that most people don't know about Facebook's Social Graph is that it diminishes your privacy. Now is the time to learn how to manage your privacy controls on Facebook.

If you want to keep some things in your life personal, set your privacy controls to 'friends only.' There are many employers who use social networks to do background research on potential candidates. Having that photo of you and your crew throwing back Tequila shots may not be the first impression you want to give to a potential employer. There are 97,000 photos on Facebook, make sure any pictures you're tagged in don't embarrass you. Make sure you set your privacy controls to alert you whenever someone tags you in a photo or even attempts to post to your timeline.

These are just a couple of safety measures you can implement on Facebook with the release to the masses of their Social Graph tool. Take a look at the INFOGRAPHIC below for more suggestions.

After Congress passed the CAN SPAM Act and it became law in 2004, you cannot legally send bulk marketing emails without the express consent of the recipients. If you do, you will be fined heavily. The law provides fines for up to $11,000 per incident. So...there you have it! You either have an opt-in list or you will have to find another way to make a living. One of the best ways to build your opt-in list is to write and market articles. Each time an article that you have written and submitted to an article bank for use by other website owners and ezine publishers, every name on their lists are exposed to a link to your website. If the articles are good and filled with relevant information, they can produce much traffic and many new opt-in subscribers. It isn't hard to write a marketable article. Marketable articles are short...only 300 to 400 words. The key ingredients...

Are You Successful Because of God, or Is It You?

I just read this article published by Marketo, titled: "The God Complex and the Importance of Trial and Error, " written by Jason Miller, it discussed a scenario where a company which wants to make detergent discovers how using a process of trial and error. The gist of the article summizes to create the theory which states do successful people have a God complex in which they refuse to believe, no matter the situation, that their way of thinking, their ideas are wrong regardless of the "complexity of the situation." Let me tell you why that article sticks out to me. I have been marketing successfully and unsuccessfully at times on the internet since 2001. I've had my super successful times as well as times when I've just plain walked away from projects. There was a period where internet marketing programs paid my bills for three years and financed lavish vacations to the Caribbean and other wonderful places many people...
