Dr. Woodberry..as much as I hate it, the best way to watermark is to put the watermark over (part of) the subject in the image. This will keep folks from being able to crop the watermark out of the image and still use the pic.
There are many programs out there you can use for photo editing, most include the ability to add text over the image.

FB changes the default settings without notice. For the longest time, nothing inside could be seen by google except the main url. Now, I'm seeing the same thing...some photos being indexed. I'm not sure how the Microsoft / Bing / FB partnership will shake out. I think they have serious security issues to overcome. My guess anything that is indexed by Bing will show up on Google as well. Time will tell. I have stopped posting much of anything on FB and wish I had never began.
It has been a few months since I went through all the settings to see the latest, but if you search all the help menus, you can find whatever is available today. My guess is they embed the default photo / content rights to avoid dealing with the UGC (User Generated Content) elements of the Communications Decency Act (CDA) that is intended to protect websites against third party posting of illegal ordefamatory(among other things) content. This law, like many affected by the growth of social media and other interactive sites will probably receive severalamendments asprecedenceis made.

David,
If you put them on facebook without a watermark, you've lost complete control of attempting to manage their posting and associated credit. And if you posted them under the default facebook upload, they (facebook) now have rights to them by way of your posting....depending upon when they were posted...and which version of facebook guidelines were in force...at that time.
Facebook is the absolute worst place to put any content you wish to manage...not to mention .... if you want folks searching for that content to find them...they can't. Google can see very little of the content... and facebook's search engine is ridiculous.
You can tell I'm not a big fan of giving facebook your content.
Unfortunately the only way to control photo rights on the internet is to watermark in a way the watermark can't be cropped out.
We've been at this longer than most and have battled these things from day one. Many times some of our 100,000+ photos are taken from here, posted on facebook, or some other site...then end up back on here under another profile.
We always recommend our posters watermark...most do not.
