Leo — Fri, 29 Jul 2011 13:19:36 +0000

With the latest Google + out the social media has been more competitve and with a better reach I would say it is natural that most SEO’s jump at this opportunity to take advantage of this especially when it is Google.

So here are some tips to maximize its use.

1. Make use of your Circles and check the people who are interested in whatever you’re working on at that moment.

2. Flow with the stream the bar on the right is a condensed version of my unexpanded stream from just the last hour make use of it and zero in on the topics realted to you or interested in.

3. Engage Your Base, interact with the people most likely to reply or reciprocate.

4. Be highly visible, social media is about perception so the more they see you the better your chances are of capturing audiences.

5. Give First, Then Ask Share other people’s posts and links, and [+1] what you like. Giving back builds up dividends, and you need to do it every day.

6. Try Trunk.ly. For tracking your links, Trunk.ly. is highly recommended.

Google Using Facebook Shares to Influence Search Rankings?

Leo — Sun, 19 Jun 2011 01:01:13 +0000

An interesting set of data may implicate a high correlation between Facebook shares and Google US search position. There is cause to believe that Facebook data may be used by Google. One is from a recent interview with Google/Bing last December 2010 admitted that they were using social media signals in to rank search results. Another one is that Facebook search information can be seen in search results and would only normally mean that Google had access to at least some Facebook data. Although proofs are not yet that conclusive and there are several caveats with the said statistics and they may only be casually related.

BRAND NEW GOOGLE RESULTS PAGE

Google received mixed reactions from Google enthusiasts .Google have been trying new layouts with search results, which had undergone 3 changes, these included; the screen grab shows the new pastel colour scheme, with the most notable changes being the removal of the anchor tag underline from each of the search titles, the addition of white space under each title, the removal of the ‘cached’ and ‘similar’ links from under each search (which is discussed in this article) and the addition of a faint line between each result. The changes to note here are that the URLs for each of the searches now appear directly underneath the title of each result, another notable change was the speed of the search and the amount of listings returned between the two versions. The new Google came back with over twice as many results yet took under half the time to process, making it more efficient and giving a greater depth of search results. What do you think?
