Google+ the new social feature from Google aims to change
how internet users share content. So how does this affects your website on
being found on the Internet?
We have heard of the Google+ which allows us to “like” aka “+1” and share with our friends. This
feature is not new and looks very similar to that of the “like” or “share”
features in Facebook or the “follow” feature of Twitter.
The only difference is that with Google+ you will need to
add your friends to your “Google Circles”, which gives users the ability to
share content with specified groups, or "circles" of people. As users
build these circles they will be able to see the files, links, web, pages,
music that is being liked and shared. These contents will also have a +1'd in
Google's search engine results pages which could be ranked as relevant.
Will SEO be affected with Google+?
SEO is the acronym for Search Engine Optimization which aims
to display results based on organic traffic search queries. This also means
that websites which have relevant pages to the users which bring up the ranking
of the search queries. By adding a +1
to a search results and sharing with your friends, you are indicating to Google
as a search engine provider that this search results is good and relevant and why
you should be sharing with your friends and others. This also reinforces
Google’s policy of creating the best user experience for internet users.
Facebook and Twitter have also high influences on search
engine rankings for websites. Some indications showed that re-tweets of a link
on Twitter affects how the page is indexed on the search engines. The social
shares from Facebook likes also affects on how the page is indexed in a similar
way.
Most professional SEO agencies in Singapore do not want their
clients to know this as a fact as they are afraid that customers will implement
SEO on their own. But simple as it may looks, Google+ is just now one of the
considering factors of SEO and the recommendation is to implement Google +1
button in your website to start ranking well.
If you have a Google account, +1 on our website to show that we mean something to you!
