Reposted here from the intro forum:
Long time reader, but I usually just lurk around the sidewalk performers section. Before I start posting, updating my profile, and getting more involved, I was just wondering if someone could describe the how the profiles come up in google searches. Just a disclaimer: I'm not sure if I'm using the right terminology to ask this question as SEO kind of stuff is not my area of expertise, but basically I want to update my profile here without it coming up if someone were to search me for shows or for press. As of right now, I'm building my website, so it's not live. I do have a facebook page however. If I link to either in my profile, is that something google indexes that would ever come up in search results? As much as I love this site, from a marketing standpoint that's a negative for me (I'm sure it's not for others, but to each his or her own). Thanks for the responses.

You can hide from an open forum. If is was a closed forum, then you could. The Magic Café is open.

No, that's not true. There are private areas of the Café that are not searchable.

Ummmm... The Café gives you GREAT authority backlinks that will help your site rank...
If the Café comes up for your name or your company name then you need more content Example of content that you can EASILY outrank the Café with: Branded Twitter account Branded Facebook Fanpage Branded Pinterest Business Board G+ profile Yelp business page Citysearch business page Kudzu page (about 200 other directory listings pages) Branded Youtube channel Vimeo videos Youtube videos SEO'd images .... my point... The question your asking Henry Ford is ... "where can I purchase a faster horse?" instead of "Where can I buy one of your cars?" If your website is optimized properly it should outrank the Café for your name and business name. It will also pass related authority to your site and help you rank for localized keywords. ----- If you still just don't want to"risk" the Café showing up at all even if it's page 10 . NEVER use your business name in the Café, and never link to your website or social media.
its ok.. balloon dogs don't bite

Thanks for taking the time to write all that out, Mike. I understand what you mean (I've worked in both content marketing and email marketing), but like I said in the original post, I'm building an online presence now and just don't want the Café coming up in the interim. As a street performer, I haven't really wanted/needed it before but I figured I would go through the process in some free time.
Dynamike, that's pretty much exactly what I wanted to know, thank you.
