Google+ Now A Part Of Social Search Results

social_search

Google launched Social Search in 2009 and since then we have seen results from Twitter, Flickr, Quora and other social media sites appear along with Google’s standard search results. In the latest improvement to Social Search, Google is now including Google+ posts.

Social Search features links shared by your friends on the web based on the relevancy to your search. An annotation will show up under the link stating where the link appears and which of your friends shared it.

In order to see Google+ posts in your search results you must be signed into a Google account and the posts must be public.

  1. We are going into social spam anarchy

    I started this week to put social links on the websites of my clients and told them to tell their friends to click on them to help the ranking of their website.

    Google counts the like’s and the +’s in their algorithm ?

    Ok, just do it.

    What a hilarious situation, and like sheep we’re following in.

    Major companies are favored in this kind of situation. They can influence their employees and clients.

    Hey, click on our + button and get a 10% discount on your next purchase, or, click the like button to watch the video, for free…

    Stupid, ridiculous and a shame on Google.

    It’s the same thing as when you could write 100 times a keyword the same colour of a page to get ranked. And that was only 5 years ago.

    No, No, No. With Panda and Google +’s and facebook likes taken into consideration, Google is just favoring social spam.

    It’s loyal to take into consideration human factors to rank. But humans are not loyal.

    Clic on our + buttons to help us rank is not a reliable linking factor.

    Just like “can we exchange links on our websites”. They solved that problem by taking it into account in the alogorithm.

    Nos they have to find a way to solve social spam. And it’s growing fast.
