How to Permanently Delete a Facebook Account

Before You Start

1. Remove Facebook Connect logins. Many sites, like Digg.com and Meetup.com, allow signup and login using Facebook Connect -- List of Facebook Connect sites (may not be complete or current.) If you have accounts on such sites, go to each of them, and:
   • Make sure you have a way to login that does not involve Facebook Connect (you will most likely have to create a username and password on the site if you haven't already.)
   • Logout of the account, then log back in using the alternate method (not using Facebook Connect), ensuring that you will be able to access the account after your Facebook account is deleted.
2. Remove all Linked Accounts so that you won't accidentally login to Facebook.

Short Method 1

1. Copy and paste http://www.facebook.com/help/contact.php?show_form=delete_account once you have logged on. This screen will present itself:
   
   
   
2. Click "Submit" and follow instructions. There will be a simple password and a Captcha spam check to enter in. Captcha spam checks are to make sure you are the real owner of your account and not an automated program.
   
   
   
3. Do not login or connect with your Facebook account. You will receive an email saying that your account will be deleted in 14 days. Any interaction with the account during that period could prevent it from being deleted, so for 14 days:
   • Do not try to login to your Facebook account; you may want to clear your browser cache and delete your cookies so that you don't login inadvertently.
   • Do not click the Facebook Share or Like button on any site you visit.
   • Do not use Facebook Connect to login to or signup on any site (see Before You Start, above.)
4. Wait and watch. At the end of 14 days, all of your posts, comments, info, etc., will be permanently made inaccessible on Facebook.

Longer Method 2

If the short method does not work for you, here is the longer method that sets out how to get to the deletion button.

1. Go to the bottom of the home page. Click on the "help center" (http://www.facebook.com/help/).
   
   
   
2. At "help center", type in "Delete Facebook" into the search box at the top of the page. Click "Search".
   
   
   
3. Arrive at the page titled "Facebook FAQs". Look down the list of FAQs and open the one called: "I want to permanently delete my account. How do I delete my account?"
   
   
   
4. Read the Facebook information - it basically asks you whether you want to deactivate your account or delete it permanently. (Deactivating means that Facebook retains your profile information (friends, photos, etc.) but you have disappeared from the Facebook service.) Facebook makes it clear that if you want your information removed forever, you can never recover the information and it will be wiped for good.
5. Click on https://ssl.facebook.com/help/contact.php?show_form=delete_account. You will be reminded that this is a permanent deletion and that your account cannot be reactivated and that none of the content or information you have added can be retrieved.
   
   
   
6. Click submit. Follow the steps, such as entering your password, email, and Captcha code.
   
   
   
7. Do not log in for the next 14 days and your account will be deleted completely. Note, however, that if you change your mind before the 14 days period is up, just log in and this will reactivate your account!

Emailing Facebook to delete the account

To speed up the process and if the above failed, try emailing Facebook.

1. Email Facebook directly. The email is: privacy@facebook.com. Request that Facebook deletes your account.
2. Wait to get an email response from Facebook confirming that your account has been permanently deleted. This should take a few days.
3. If you don't hear back from Facebook within a week, email them again. This time, not only email Facebook at privacy@facebook.com, but also send an email to support@facebook.com and one to info@facebook.com.
4. Finally, attempt to log in to your account once you get an email from Facebook. If you're unable to log in and don't get a message asking you to reactivate your account, your Facebook account has been permanently deleted.

How to Advertise Your Blog (For Free)

Everyday you update your blog. You write about your life and post it on your site. But no one reads them. Then you try writing about latest technology and gadgets hoping that you will get some comments from readers on the next day but still, not many people comes to your site. But you still continue posting and updating your site everyday, every night. After some period, you realized that you need to promote and advertise your site but you don't know how.
Here I will share with you some tips on how to promote and get more readers to your site. I'm no expert in site advertising or marketing but I have some little knowledge that I want to share with you.


Join blogger forum
Join and participate in blogger forum or portals. Introduce yourself and brief politely about your site. Tell them what your site is about. I'm sure in every blogger forum, there is a section where you can promote or show off your blog. Post something there.
Describe your blog and invite them to visit. If the forum admin enable signature in post (usually it is enable), put your site link in your signature. That way, peoples can see your site link when you post or reply someone's post on the forum.

Visit other blogs
You must start it first. Don't wait people come to your site. Visit other member's blog and drop them some comments about their blog posts. Don't give comments say something like, "Hey, nice site!" or "I love your site. Cool!" but give comments that relate to their posts. If they read your comment, they also will visit back to your site.
Another way is, if your post same like other people post, track back their post. I assume you know how to use track back


Submit to Blog Directory/Top-sites
There are many blog directories in the Internet. Submit your site to as many blog directories as you can. Almost of them are free but some of them you need to put HTML code on your site before your site been listed in their directory.
And join top-sites too. If your site is on top rank, there will be more peoples now about your site.

Signature in Email
Put your site link in your email signature. So each time you send or reply email, the receiver will see it. So they'll know that you have a site and they will visit your site to see what your blog is about.

Join Exchange Link program
This program is a two way feedback. You put their site link on your site and they will put yours on their site. The system goes like that. Beside increase your page rank, it also can bring more peoples to your site.

Public Bookmarking
Submit your contents to any public book marking sites such del.icio.us or Furl, etc. There are many to list here. But make sure that you submit on specific topic or people will ignore it.

Submit to Search Engine
Submit your site link to popular search engine such as Google, Yahoo, etc. There are some sites that can submit your site to 20 search engines for free.

Ping your site
This is a must. Ping your site to Pingoat.com or Pingomatic.com each time you update your site. Both of them give the best ping-ing services.
Well, if you have make all these things I'm sure in one week or maybe less, you will have regular visitors that come to your site. But make sure you have good contents on your site or you will loose them one by one.
If you have any comments or want to add up your own tips, feel free to say it in the comment form. Well, thanks for your time and hope this helps! ;)
