There's been growing awareness in the past few days that 'public' Facebook groups (groups available to all users within Facebook) and their discussion forums are now showing up in search results, alongside public brand pages. Facebook has a huge number of groups on all subjects, and the fact that they are now fully public and being indexed means that they've just become much more important from an SEO and brand monitoring perspective. On the other side of the coin, they've also just become much easier to track through site monitoring tools and Google alerts.
As Inside Facebook points out, the group forum text is not even searchable within Facebook yet, so this could be a bit of a surprise for users. As every comment will link back to its user's profile, this is another reason to be careful what you say within the groups.

Thanks for your information. By the way Google is I think more convenient than other ones. But I will also try Yahoo and MSN. Good day…
I have a fan page and am thinking that is a good idea to change to a group page although I don't want to loose the fans or the content. Is it possible to change to a group without loosing these or can they be swapped in some way!! ????
