Overview
•   Evolving with Google
•   Is SEO dead?
•   The ripple effect?
•   3 key G+1 actions to implement immediately
Evolving with Google




The lines between Social and SEO are blurring.
Evolving with Google
The problem
• Twitter &
  Facebook are
  private clubs
• Google can only
  use signals it can
  see and can crawl
  – Nofollow
  – Dofollow
IMAGINE not having to worry about anonymous
 blog spam because you know exactly who the
  person is that wrote the article or comment

  = GREATER accountability and a better web.
Evolving with Google




• SEO Social Search : really interesting because it’s
  one of the areas where you don’t have to necessarily
  optimise for search engines
• It’s new, interesting & future proofing
Is SEO dead?
        Move from an
        anonymous web to a
        web in which
        everybody has at
        least some idea of
        the reputation of an
        author
The ripple effect




• https://plus.google.com/ripples
The ripple effect
3 key G+1 actions to implement
             immediately
1. Put your keyword(s) in profile links
• Not logged into
  Google
• No backlinks
• Ranking achieved
  using social
  media only
3 key G+1 actions to implement
                 immediately
2. Claim your content using - rel="author”



Rich Snippits
<a href=”[profile_url]?rel=author”>Google+</a>

The + at the end of the ‘anchor text’ is important!

TIP: If you post content on G+ this is taken care of for you
Finally…
Increase the number of social signals
     linking back to your content




ASK !!!
Primary engagement only
• Total +1s = 39,17,25             = 81
• Total Comments = 145, 34, 33     = 212
• Total shares = 34, 12, 31        = 78

• These do not include secondary
  comments, +1s or reshares

Editor's Notes

  1. The challenge:How to improve the way users retrieve information from the web is actually limited by Goolge’s own search interface. Google&apos;s simple search box interface has successfully trained most users to abstract complex queries into few keywords, and as result, much context is lost as we are searching.In some way, Google Instant was a way to mitigate this problem by previewing results per keywords, but the search experience is still limited to a keyword index, regardless the interface Google wraps around with.Moving forward, what&apos;s interesting is how AI can help search - &amp; NOT to discard the constraints of human language. In ML, constraints are good, and for searchEnd of day, human being still converse in sentences, not keywords.
