The new world of Facebook search is upon us - at least for developers and marketers using Facebook to promote their services or products through Facebook Applications.

And here I am, just finishing up my application. I finally was able to submit the application to the Facebook Application directory because I've gained at least 10 Monthly Active Users or Total Users. That was a struggle.

Now that my application has hit the big time and is being listed in the Facebook Application directory I've decided it must be the time and there must be a way to get my application ranked - ranked number 1 for the terms I believe are mostly searched for with respect to my industry.

So I've discovered what I believe are some trends in the Facebook Application search results. At the moment I'm not too sure if one could even rank for any specific reason on the FBA results but I'm sure there's at least one ranking factor. I know it has nothing to do with the application ratings as there are applications with lower ratings ranking out the apps. with the higher ratings.

So I'm presuming it must having something to do with keywords or possibly a combination of the two?

I'm making adjustments and testing and please take note. I haven't searched the web whatsoever regarding this issue as I'd like to keep my discoveries within this thread.

I'm going to keep testing though and definitely return with some of my results...
