Google introduced the +1 recommendation last week which enhance more and more social influences on search results.We know Google shows the tweets on regular SERP and some time real time tweets on search results for a long time.And after +1 addition its becoming a good question that SEO’s are moving towards social media connection to get on good ranking signal on Google,Bing and Yahoo.According to the growing trend we all know, its the true fact. Though Google’s Amit Singhal says the tweets are not counted as ranking signal for Google algorithm published on search engine land.But still its proved and we saw if a tweet comes from influential person or social profile or network, then its treated as valuable web signal for Google , Yahoo,Bing every major search engines.But its fact that social signal enhance the short time ranking factors only, for now, it has no effects on long time ranking(at least for Page 1) on Google.Tweets,Facebook likes, or any other social presence displayed on search results and a part of SEO,to some extend SEO have to move beyond the search engines by getting connection with social networks!Another nice social metrics for ranking has been presented on seomoz: Though a bit confusion with this stat for now,because we are not seeing any PageRank parameter on this infographic and besides Page Authority, PageRank should have a placement on priority listing before Facebook shares,otherwise Google PageRank domination could be minor factor for every one( I think so) and +1 d recommendation will be ranking element in near future!just a guess! Its a matter of fact that if you need to prove/establish your online presence/brand weather in search engine or any other places on the webs/digital media, you have to move with social connection!Its a good thing for the user as well, where people can rely on the website/brand which having much more active social presence….I guess social SEO is future of online marketing!
hi, Then your site ranks really well and is doing great and everything looks fantastic and then Google changes their algorithm and you lose 70% of your incoming search traffic overnight after it steadily increasing for years.
It's increasing, that's for sure. Especially when you search in Google and results from the RSS or bookmarked links from your friends or social circle are showing up.
Well it makes sense to me as the next evolution of search engines. social networking sites now have monumental amounts of traffic and are used in the everyday lives of many individuals. Google provides a search service, and if finding content on social network sites is important to the general public, then they will make sure it can be found!
This is good in that it makes it necessary to create good content. We all know that Google wants to deliver relevant content. If we strive to do that, we will get the +1s...
