Facebook Profile Picture Hack

Customize your Facebook Profile image with a few simple ideas. To set you apart from the crowd you may want to play with the profile picture to start with.

Facebook Profile Picture

The Facebook Profile picture can be as large as 200×600 pixels. Also the profile picture is positioned 52 pixels north of the gray line.

Profile Picture Position

The above values allow you to blend in to the Facebook template. You could start your image background with a gradient starting from Lightblue #EFF0F5 to let your image emerge from the Facebook template.

In the above case I have selected a contrasting background.

To profit from the maximum space available, just create a 200 x 600 pixel picture and load it as your new profile picture.

Attention: Fake Facebook Mails

Like banks, Paypal, Twitter and others, Facebook is increasingly subject to phishing scams. How to recognize Phishing and Fake Mails?

Phishing for Facebook

The first goal of the scam is to obtain your login credentials to your Facebook account. Here is the mail I have just received:

Facebook Phishing Mail

1. The sender email address looks suspicious.

2. The receiving address is not an email address registered with Facebook, in fact this address does not exist but comes through based on the catch-all function of the mail box.

3. The Subject line is not capitalized – suspicious.

4. if you pass your mouse over (don’t click!) the update button or over the

5. … “click here” link, you see at the bottom of your frame the actual…

6. …target address. The address is not a facebook address, but some scam sub-domain of a .co.uk domain.

How to deal with Phishing Mails

Turn on phishing filters in your system and security software.

Never click on any link in a suspicious mail! Block sender and delete the mail.

You may report the issue to Facebook providing full headers and eventual source code of the mail.

What this Phishing Scam does

If you follow the link in the mail, you are directed to a fake Facebook Login screen with your email address allready filled in. The password field is blank. If you fill in the password, the cyber criminals get full access to your facebook account.

But there is worse:

Zeus Banking Trojan

A pop-up appears inviting you to download an “update tool” which actually installs “ZeuS banking Trojan”. This Trojan waits to steal your banking data next time you type them in.

Check out the Facebook security page for further info.

Facebook or not to facebook

If you are a Twitter or Facebook fan its time to watch your step. It’s more than just fun online, its also about …..Bugs!

The more doors we open the more we are open to these nuisances. It’s time to learn to read the small print and ‘Caveat Emptor’ – Let the buyer beware, in this case user beware!

Watch the tweets!

Twitter and Facebook

Just as Yorgo wrote in his post regarding fake facebook phishing mails there is also a Twitter bug which sends out ’feel good’ direct messages. If only the owners of such bugs would put their energies into creating something useful to society we would applaud them all.

Build your Social Network Publishing Network

Social Network Publishing is task which aims to reach out for users of social networks by making valuable content available in social networks. In other terms, we aim to become visible on the search results inside Social Networks.

Social Networks vs. Google

In general as a web publisher we make our content available to the public and hence to search engines, such as Google. Google does not reflect however the content produced inside Social Networks. Social Networks run their own internal search engines paired with particular sets of filters, such as geo-targeting, age groups, language and more. To become visible on search results within Social Networks, content must be published and made available inside the social networks… at least that’s what most people may think.

We will show you here below that this is not the absolute truth of the story.

Google Top 10 and Facebook

During the past 12 months Facebook has opened it’s closed house to many ‘external sources’ one of them being external search engines; MySpace has had a web search function much earlier.

External Web search can now be found in Facebook and it is interesting to compare search results.

In Facebook we find Bing powered Search results (of course, since Microsoft has invested over $200 million in Facebook):

Interestingly the results with direct Bing search are not exactly the same:

A comparison with Yahoo and Google reviels further differences:

All the above search results seem to be extremely hooked to the domain name, more in any case than the Google Top 10 returns:

Google seems to be more sensitive to aggregation and backlinks.

Facebook’s internal Search Engine

The internal Facebook Search Engine returns results just from inside Facebook; interesting to get in control of those results as well …

The impact of an own account to control your name returns is evident.

From the above we can draw a certain number of conclusions we will discuss at Tuesday’s Ycademy call.

Building and implementing a Social Network Publishing Strategy is not an easy but an interesting task. At Ycademy we work with you to get around technical difficulties to achieve extraordinary results.

From 188 Followers to 1529 Followers in 9 days – my Twitter is exploding. Your question may be:

How can I add 1338 new Followers in 9 days?

I am basically using 2 tools:

Twy2 and my preferred Twitter Management and follow-up program.

Twy2 Viral Twitter Marketing

Twy2 is a free viral device for list building and lead generation. I have hooked it to Free YORGOO to do the job for me. As you know, I am an automation fan.

It does your keyword search, follows people along the keywords you define, or it follows people from a geographic area you define, it un-follows people for you and it tweets for you.

Auto-tweeting is a Sunday walk!

Grab your free Twitter Manager from HERE
