Editor's Notes

  • #67 Why people would spend more time on Google + than facebook, twitter and other networks? access to the most data on internet for users and advertisers drive SERPs +1 button, the social activities are taking place on Google itself, so number of +1 button clicks on a given page has an effect on that page's organic rankings. Most profitable SEO effort to get +1’s in SERPs secondary to “likes” on fbook or tweets
  • #68 Google + Profile data Opportunities for Google to better understand you Unveil your occupation, employment history, education, places lived, birthday and gender – even add links your associated with Ties down your associations that can be interpreted by the algorithm
  • #69 Google + Button Used to glean insights on authoritative status updates, images, webpages etc Not only is the +1 button included on every post within Google Plus and on content publishers' Websites, but it's literally sitting next to every single search result that Google returns. For people who surf the Internet, this feature revolutionizes the way people search the web. If a website has a lot of Plus symbols then there is a good chance that the surfer will like the content as well, especially if one of the people who likes the content is in the surfer’s circle of friends and family. It makes internet searches more relevant, as search engines are more and more pushing personalisation so that people who search will see real recommendations from people they trust
  • #70 Google + circles Seen as a vote for people, like links are votes for websites Allows google to better understand the influencers within it’s network
  • #72 Google + Sparks Sparks = interests Build interests into profile – gives Google another layer of targeting – by understanding your interests they can interpret the weight of your voting abilities on given subject matters
  • #76 Google + Hangouts Could possibly “listen in” and interpret your video chats, deriving data out of those
  • #79 Localization Data Google + integrates heavily straight out of the box w mobile GPS location setting is prominent and a key focus – great for advertisers Location data also helps determine relevance, on a user level and on a per status update level for geographic queries
  • #80 Google Goggles – image and facial recognition software
  • #83 So, if you’re logged into your Google Account, and you search at Google, you may see search results that include content that your buddies have shared. This could consist of news products, internet pages, images, as well as movies.
