i have to notice few articles on Penguin & panda updates. before 4-5 year Google was updates algorithm with in 1 or 2 year after social networking environment. Google become smart to update result.it total force to improve refine search result. and focus on social networking activities and work. Google priority the a particular pages or keyword which are most trend in SM. Like before Google showed result basis of back link and authority. but now Google only monitor audience trend that which type of audience main talking about topic or website. main conclusion to it Google want to boost Google+ Social network. that people use it for promotion talks about site or every thing else. so Google also suggest that we should use Google+ fro most relevant traffic am i right ?
It wouldn't suprise me if they want to involve Google+ more with the search results so that webmasters and people overall will start using it more often.
We cannot fully depend on social media because blog commenting, forum posting, directory submission, link exchange still has some good value in google and the most important thing "Domain Age"
G+ has long way to go. Yes Facebook is going good but not sure Google take reference from there as we all know the fact. Btw your every acts will count. If it's positive then you will get positive result else vice-verca. So play the game in safe side mode. Webmaster should be more careful from now.
My thinking is also similar with you as they launched penguin after Google+ and what it is actually doing is promoting Google+ by affecting its probable competitors.
I tend to agree. Look what Google did with blogger. They deleted tons of make money type blogs that were not using AdSense. But those using only AdSense were 100% safe. And we all know who owns AdSense.
Of course G+ is and will be important for ranking in google, as you know in personalized search results you often see G+ posts or shares, so you can deduce yourself
Yes its true that google is now focusing in on more on users voice and reactions. If that's the point then backlinks would be useless. Also google is testing with fresh results and relevant ones. Google would think why should it give importance to old ones, rather than new ones. Google will give imp to new links, new content. Its all about fresh & new stuff where its required. I also feel google will put more importance to reviews and discussions (social g+)
Always share your new published post in social networking site like Google plus, twitter and facebook. Google penguin like social sharing.
Thanks for this post really I forget about this factor. Hope that now on promoting on Google+ help me to get ranking and business....
Google is stuffing G+ on us ... and make webmasters use it to get traffic ... same trafic they would get before theese updates (panda and penguin) but now you must have a lot of + to get that traffic. They "have" search and advertising and now they want social too ... if they get this they will rule the web ...
