The start of Facebook SEO

As we all know, Facebook is fast catching up with it’s head-to-head traffic rank with Google as the world’s most visited website. And if you’re a frequent user of Facebook like me, I’m sure you’ve already noticed that Facebook has continually improved their search features.
