               makes SOFTWARE!! We don’t offer any consulting.
Search + Social on the Web
Search Currently,  there are more than 3 billion searches/day on Google Data via Google’s occasional public statements and some inference (for 2006 + 2009)
Social Social is rising fast, but search is solidly in the lead. Via http://searchengineland.com/top-internet-activities-search-email-once-again-88964
Evolution of Google’s Results
Google SERPs 1997-2007

Google SERPs Today
New & Exciting Opportunitiesin the Search Results
Local/Maps Results
Videos
Social Annotations in the SERPs
Local/Maps Results
A Completely Different Algorithm Different metrics and best practices to get in the local “pack” results vs. standard organic rankings http:/googleblog.blogspot.com/2010/06/our-new-search-index-caffeine.html
Business Registration Required http:/googleblog.blogspot.com/2010/06/our-new-search-index-caffeine.html http://www.google.com/local/add/promowill get you to Google’s Places addition page
Consistency of Citations is Critical The listings (name + address text) across different websites are interpreted by Google as local “citations”  The citations in local results are like links in the classic rankings – they help Places listings to rank higher. http:/googleblog.blogspot.com/2010/06/our-new-search-index-caffeine.html
To Discover Places for Listings, Try Searching in Different Ways Find sites that list multiple businesses of your type See where Google sources photos from on other Places pages Luckily, there are ways to work around this: http://www.seomoz.org/blog/how-to-research-local-citations-after-google-removed-them-from-places http:/googleblog.blogspot.com/2010/06/our-new-search-index-caffeine.html
For Reviews, Quantity > Quality For full details, check out http://www.davidmihm.com/local-search-ranking-factors.shtml - the industry’s best resource on the topic. http:/googleblog.blogspot.com/2010/06/our-new-search-index-caffeine.html
Video XML Sitemaps &Video Results
The “Long Tail” of Video Sites Long tail of video sites get 50% of all online video traffic/views! http://techcrunch.com/2010/02/08/long-tail-video-half-viewing-minutes/
Google’s Video Results Get High CTR We’ve seen rankings on a video result in position #3+ produce more clicks than the #1 result in some cases. http:/googleblog.blogspot.com/2010/06/our-new-search-index-caffeine.html
Any Page with an Embedded Video Can Rank The video doesn’t need to be self-hosted, either. It’s fine to simply have a video on the page (even a YouTube embed) and still get the video snippet. http:/googleblog.blogspot.com/2010/06/our-new-search-index-caffeine.html
You Don’t Need to Use YouTube None of these come from YouTube, but from independent, non-video specific sites where a video has been embedded. http:/googleblog.blogspot.com/2010/06/our-new-search-index-caffeine.html
Video XML Sitemaps are Key Google provides good information on how to do this here: http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?answer=80472 http:/googleblog.blogspot.com/2010/06/our-new-search-index-caffeine.html
Wistia is My Favorite Video Host http://www.wistia.com will let you point the embed of the video back to your own page, creates video XML sitemaps for you and provides awesome statistics. http:/googleblog.blogspot.com/2010/06/our-new-search-index-caffeine.html
Social Annotations & Social Ranking Boosts in the SERPs
Rel=Author I’m guessing this gives a substantially higher click-through rate, too. Yoast has a great piece for those using Wordpress here: http://yoast.com/wordpress-rel-author-rel-me/ and this one’s good too:  http://anthonyvbrunetti.com/marketing/google-rel-author-infographic-how-to-implement/ http:/googleblog.blogspot.com/2010/06/our-new-search-index-caffeine.html
These are results from Google’s “social” search tool (using the parameter in the lower left-hand corner in red). You must be logged into a Google+ enabled account to get this. http:/googleblog.blogspot.com/2010/06/our-new-search-index-caffeine.html
Social Annotations from Your Network in “Regular” Search Results As great as http://www.everywhereist.com is, it doesn’t rank page one for this query unless I’m logged in and following Geraldine on Twitter. http:/googleblog.blogspot.com/2010/06/our-new-search-index-caffeine.html
Grow Your Social Network to Reach Searchers Geraldine’s blog is awesome, but it would never rank on page #1 for this query without the power of the social connection. Check out http://www.slideshare.net/randfish/merging-of-search-social-wappow for more on how search engines and social media are mixing together.
The social connections appear to influence rank ordering. http:/googleblog.blogspot.com/2010/06/our-new-search-index-caffeine.html These annotations undoubtedly increase CTR, particularly if the source is trusted.
Hang on a tic... How did they know I’m connected to Kalena on Facebook?! I haven’t yet added Facebook to my Google account! When Google starts using latent (rather than active) network connections, social becomes even more powerful. http:/googleblog.blogspot.com/2010/06/our-new-search-index-caffeine.html
Google Has Deep Social Network Spidering Notice that Google crawls through one network to discover connections 2-3 “hops” away on another. http:/googleblog.blogspot.com/2010/06/our-new-search-index-caffeine.html Read more here http://www.seomoz.org/blog/social-annotations-in-search-now-your-social-network-rankings  and see your socially connected data via http://www.google.com/s2/search/social?hl=en#socialcontent
Google+ is Becoming Google’s Primary Social Connector in Search Results This, sadly, means that, at least for now, mentioning someone on Plus won’t get their attention the way it can on Twitter http:/googleblog.blogspot.com/2010/06/our-new-search-index-caffeine.html
+1s in Non-Personalized SERPs, Too Hello Social Proof! These +1 counts only seem to show when a page has 500 or more +1s. More - http://searchengineland.com/confirmed-google-showing-1-counts-to-logged-out-users-82800 http:/googleblog.blogspot.com/2010/06/our-new-search-index-caffeine.html
There are a Lot of Social Networks at Scale Users: 25mm 750mm 200mm 120mm 10mm Users: 14mm Millions 14mm 6.5mm
Search is Bigger than Classic SEO (and the responsibilities of SEOs have been upgraded)
