Facebook is making you believe that controlling your privacy settings is simple, but it can be quite complicated. MakeUseOf has put together a very useful guide on how to button up your page, so the settings are actually working in a way that you had intended them to work.

The guide has 52 pages, and it makes clear, that even if you do everything in your power to control your information on Facebook, it’s simply not possible: for example, someone else can post and tag images with you in them and in the process tell others about your whereabouts.

Excerpt from the guide: If you want to upload contacts, “Facebook doesn’t make you enter your password. It will find contacts from whichever account you’re logged into, regardless of which email address you enter in to Facebook. Sneaky, huh?”

Google’s first SEO Starter guide is a no-nonsense guide to optimize your website for search engines. It includes instructions for writing page titles, info on navigation and URL structure, best practices, how to make use of the meta description tag and making sure your mobile site gets indexed. The updated version of the Google SEO Guide follows the same format, but promises the following additions/improvements:
* Glossary to define terms throughout the guide
* More example images to help you understand the content
* Ways to optimize your site for mobile devices
* Clearer wording for better readability

This free SEO guide published by Google is an exception from all the overhyped e-books and guides available on SEO. It provides all necessary information you need to get started with search engine optimization and is well written and illustrated. It provides lots of examples incl. how to use heading tags and optimize your images, but also tips for basic ‘good practices’ like having a useful 404 page and a sitemap. If you’re working on your first website, or you need a ‘to-do-list’ for an existing website, this guide will be of tremendous help.
