How can I get a profile picture?

How can you get your profile picture off on Google?

  • Google have my profile picture from Facebook. Is there a way to make the profile picture unsearchable without deleting the Facebook account and picture?

  • Answer:

    Mine is, too! That is the bad part, though... Google doesn't really classify the searches according to where they originate. They just capture all the possible matches of your search, with the words from the World Wide Web. It's like a keyword- but, unless you search for your whole name (as in my case), that will be the only time, my profile picture shows up on Google's Image search engine. For instance, you search for: "cookies" on images. But, unless you specify exactly WHAT- i.e., "chocolate chip", the chances that your profile picture is bound to show up, are low; unless you specify what, exactly (for example, the brand). But I am speaking from a point, where you simply do not want your photo to be seen by accident, and not if you do not want a SPECIFIC person (who probably knows who you are, and wants to get hold of a photo of you) to see your profile picture. In that case, lengthening your name will do the trick. Most likely, there are other people who share the exact same name as yours, such as "Jenny Wilson", for example, the less likely a person, searching for a photo, using those exact keywords, will not come across your picture, if you complete your name. You could make it harder for people to find you, if you use your whole name (with your maiden name and,or second name). But, keep in mind, ALWAYS make your Facebook profile PRIVATE. But, the fact that your question raises a concern about anonymity, I am sure that you are smart enough to have done so ;). But my Facebook profile picture, has never been on Google (knock-on-wood)! Just my Multiply account's. So, I wonder how your Facebook profile picture made its way there... Hmmm. Well, anyway, do you understand my point? :)
