This really personalizes your Google search,<br \/>\nespecially with it comes to all those Google+ profiles<br \/>\nand posts.<\/p>\n<p>Your searches in Google can now relate directly to the<br \/>\npeople and topics you care about in your life. Google will<br \/>\nnow show &#8220;personal results&#8221;, &#8220;profiles in search&#8221; and &#8220;people<br \/>\nand pages&#8221; in their results and autocomplete.<br \/>\n<span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><br \/>\n<span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><br \/>\nhttp:\/\/googleblog.blogspot.com\/2012\/01\/search-plus-your-world.html<br \/>\n<span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><br \/>\n<span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Google is reasoning that behind each search query there<br \/>\nis a whole community which the searcher might want to<br \/>\nfollow or join. It gives Google search a much broader<br \/>\napplication when it comes to finding information on the<br \/>\nweb.<\/p>\n<p><b>Nothing wrong with that but&#8230;<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Many are saying Google is too self-promotional by just<br \/>\nusing their own Google+ system &#8211; why not include Twitter<br \/>\nand Facebook profiles as well? Actually, there are<br \/>\nseveral ongoing disputes regarding this matter and whether<br \/>\nor not Google has complete access to data from Twitter<br \/>\nand Facebook.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s an interesting video with Google executive chairman<br \/>\nEric Schmidt where he states they&#8217;re not favoring Google+<br \/>\nin the results. You can judge for yourself:<br \/>\n<span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><br \/>\n<span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><br \/>\ns<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Regardless of this argument, a much more beneficial question<br \/>\nwill have to be&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><b>What does &#8220;Google Plus Your World&#8221; mean for your site&#8217;s traffic<br \/>\nand\/or online marketing?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>First, now more than ever, you simply have to have a Google+<br \/>\nprofile for yourself or your company. The traffic and SEO benefits<br \/>\nare simply too great to ignore. You must have a Google+ account<br \/>\nand promote it along with all your other social profiles such<br \/>\nas Twitter and Facebook.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, you should be making regular Google+ posts with<br \/>\nphotos&#8230; as all these will now show up in Google search. This<br \/>\nis another fast way to get your content displayed on Google.<\/p>\n<p>Keep in mind, once someone is logged into Google, their previous<br \/>\nclicked sites and activity will show up at the top of the<br \/>\nlistings. This makes organic search and rankings less important<br \/>\nbecause any site can now be at the top; build up a large<br \/>\nactive community around your site and you will get more<br \/>\nrepeat traffic from Google.<\/p>\n<p>Just like every savvy online marketer knows how to get their<br \/>\ncontent into Google News within minutes, now we also have<br \/>\nGoogle+ as a direct way into Google search. Marketers and<br \/>\nwebmasters should take advantage of.<\/p>\n<p>This also opens up another door when it comes to marketing<br \/>\non the web. As studies have shown, personal &#8220;product recommendations&#8221;<br \/>\nfrom friends and family do play a major role in what products<br \/>\nwe finally decide to buy. Factoring in the whole new &#8220;Google Plus<br \/>\nYour World&#8221; element will give marketers another road to pursue.<\/p>\n<p>All this can mean much more targeted traffic to your site<br \/>\nand a greater opportunity to build a list of prospects (community)<br \/>\naround your site&#8217;s topic. The same goes for any company<br \/>\nor site promoting their products on the web.<\/p>\n<p>In the near future, we should all be prepared for Google&#8217;s<br \/>\nnext moves. Especially in the area of Authorship Markup and<br \/>\nhow it plays into these new Google+ changes to personal<br \/>\nsearch. In addition, be prepared for Rich Snippets to play<br \/>\na major role in Google SERPs, but that&#8217;s another topic for<br \/>\na future newsletter.<\/p>\n<p>For now, everyone should be exploring Google+ and taking<br \/>\nadvantage of what it can do for their site or company in Google&#8217;s<br \/>\nnew &#8220;Plus Your World&#8221; universe. Just personalize Google&#8217;s<br \/>\nnew changes to meet your own needs.<\/p>\n<p><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><br \/>\n<span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Helping People Succeed Online Since 2002!<\/p>\n<p>Kind Regards,<br \/>\nTitus Hoskins<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bizwaremagic.com\">www.bizwaremagic.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Did you find the above information helpful?
