In the Aftermath of Penguin 2.0, Branding Is Now a Major Ranking Factor

In the Aftermath of Penguin 2.0, Branding Is Now a Major Ranking Factor | GooglePlus Expertise | Scoop.it
Just when you got your SEO mojo, out comes Penguin 2.0, trippin' up your flow.
Jaana Nyström's insight:

Google+ Mojo:

Google search places a premium on authenticity.

Because millions of sites have over-optimized for top placement, Google is constantly looking for ways to verify the brand attached to that site and its corresponding ranking. Google doesn’t want to overvalue and over-rank a website that’s nothing more than a shell.


Google wants to provide users with the best search experience possible, and doing this requires the search results to reward established brands with top rankings. The best way to do this is for Google to value authenticated popularity.


This is why Google+, authorship tags, rich snippets, and social signals are now a big part of the SEO equation.

Local businesses lesson in digital marketing: Brand not on GooglePlus? Idiots.

Local businesses lesson in digital marketing: Brand not on GooglePlus? Idiots. | GooglePlus Expertise | Scoop.it

 

Google Plus is the most underutilized way to reach an audience on the world’s leading search engine, Sullivan said. The social media site, launched in 2011, has yet to reach Facebook’s level of popularity, but brands that use the service get an info box that pops up on related Google searches — essentially free advertising, Sullivan said.

 

“If you’re a brand and you’re not on Google Plus right now, you are an idiot,” he said. “Take the big space they’re giving you.”

Understanding how annotations change user behavior means we can start to change our tactics for earning traffic from search results.


The key to driving traffic is not as simple as ranking number one.

In addition, a crafty marketer can outperform well entrenched competition in position one and two, not by out link building them, but by crafting an attractive title, description, and social annotation.


In addition, this can be supported by building a stronger personal brand and building relationships to broaden your social connections.
