Social Media is So Much More Than Likes and Followers

Social Media is So Much More Than Likes and Followers | social: who, how, where to market | Scoop.it

"Much like SEO, where people tried (and still try) to manipulate the rankings, some people are trying to manipulate social media. Instead of putting in the time and effort to think about their customers and create a social media profile that will naturally attract and engage customers, they are looking for a quick and easy way to build a social media presence. These fast and furious social media marketing tactics usually amount to nothing.

 

 

 

There’s no doubt that social media signals (i.e. activity on social media) has some bearing on search rankings, but there is still a lot of debate about the specifics. It does appear that a business’ activity on Google+ may soon become a factor in search rankings".

Twitter Opens Up To Search Engines | social: who, how, where to market | Scoop.it

Twitter recently updated its robots.txt file and, though the change opens up millions of pages to being crawled, there’s no guarantee that the main search engines want what Twitter is offering . . .

SEO Bing: New "Linked Pages" Feature Allow Users to Influence Search Results

SEO Bing: New "Linked Pages" Feature Allow Users to Influence Search Results | social: who, how, where to market | Scoop.it

Bing has launched “Linked Pages,” which allow people to link sites related to themselves in search results for when people search for the person’s name.

 

Pretty interesting, especially since Bing allows users to simply add links that they just like.

 

“Search for yourself,” suggests Ian Lin of Bing Social Search. “Try including your city, school, or employer – for example ‘John Smith Bing’ – to find more results and start linking. Links can include your blog, a personal website, organizations you’re associated with, activities you’re involved with or just sites you like. And as your interests and activities change, you can easily link more. So now when your friends search for you, they’ll not only see trusted results from Bing, but also the pages and sites you’ve linked.”

 

"With Linked Pages on Bing, you can decide how you look to your old roommate, your first crush, or a new friend".

 

You can add your links at bing.com/linkedpages.

 

The Linked Pages are in Beta and US-only at first.

The Complete Google+ SEO Guide

The Complete Google+ SEO Guide | social: who, how, where to market | Scoop.it

Robin Good: Here is a truly comprehensive Google+ SEO guide which covers every aspect of Google+ and how it impacts your visibility inside search results.

 

Key sections in this guide include:

 

Google+ Search Facets Google+ Search Results Google+ People and Pages Results Google+ Search Spam Search+ People and Pages Google+ Posts Google +1 Button Google+ Social Snippets Google+ Content Google+ Formatting Google+ Brand Pages Google+ Authorship Google+ Influence Circle Count

Three key takeaways:

 

1) Google+ search results are personalized but through some crowdsourcing I’ve been able to determine the search signals.

The most important signal is whether the query term appears in the Introduction, Employment, Education or Places lived section of your profile. Danny Sullivan rarely shows up in a search for SEO because he doesn’t have the term in any of those fields.

 

2) People and Pages are defined, curated lists of people by topic. That means there’s nothing you can really do to optimize for these slots.

 

3) Panda separated low-quality and high-quality sites. AuthorRank would do the same for people and their associated content. As the tidal wave of digital content roars in Google’s ears finding ways to sort the good from the bad quickly will be of increasing importance. Content without Authorship could become a second-class citizen.

 

It is indeed a must-read. 9/10
