Can I Enhance My Google Rankings Using Social Media Alone? (no standard backlinking allowed)

Bill Gates and Steve Wozniak LIKED THIS Can I Enhance My Google Rankings Using Social Media Alone? (no standard backlinking allowed)

 

 

I’ve decided to do a little experiment using my blog. That’s risky because I don’t want Google to shoot my blog down the rankings just because I’ve been playing around with some stuff that perhaps I ought not to be playing around with.

But hey, I’ve confidence that this will either work out fairly well, or no harm will come to my blog’s Google rankings. Did I say I’m confident…? icon smile Can I Enhance My Google Rankings Using Social Media Alone? (no standard backlinking allowed)

 

Okay, so here’s the deal.

Most of us are aware that Google like Likes. I mean, Google like not only Likes, but they also like Tweets, they like Stumbles, they like Diggs, and the list goes on and on. Now -a-days, these social factors are seen by the search engines as good reason to rank a webpage high in search.

I’m convinced that social media is a very strong factor now in terms of gaining Google rankings. It’s fairly obvious that it works and there have been various studies to prove that it does. Apart from that though, Google and Bing representatives have admitted as much. But then, there’s nothing new here.

 

So here’s the game I’m about to play.

Getting Started with Google Plus – Part 3

Part 1 Getting Started with Google Plus

Part 2 Getting Started with Google Plus

 

Keep in mind that even though there are various technical glitches to using Google Plus effectively for SEO purposes – remember that back in the day before WordPress became popular, it was far easier to rank in Google.

As such, its worth persevering with because being able to harness the power offered by Google Plus as an internet marketer sooner rather than later means you’ll be well ahead of the game.

 

This part of the series of how to get started with Google Plus is a bit higgledy piggledy. What I’m trying to do here is to work through setting up an account and dotting all the i’s and crossing all the t’s. But in true Google fashion, its not quite as straight forward as it could be. What’s more, some parts of “the system” are still not fully functional, so I’m having to work around that as best I can.

 

Google Plus Search Your World

Google Plus Search Your World is simply a way for Google (and for ourselves) to bring lots of different information together so that its possible to access that information from one point on the internet. Unfortunately because its a new concept, its still not available in all countries. In fact, I don’t think its yet available in most countries at the time of writing this. I’ll be providing more info on Google Plus Search Your World as Google builds it out.

 

Google Plus is Not a Sales Vehicle

Remember, Google Plus is not a sales vehicle. Therefore, “keep it clean” – meaning, don’t just use G+ for procuring sales. Use it to convey information to those folks who are following you.

Chances are that more and more folks will follow you if you provide good quality content and you don’t get too pushy on the sales front. Its common sense, really. Google Plus is a social signals tool which means that we want to reduce our reliance on it for making outright sales.

Having said that of course, we want to use it as a funnel to enhance our sales, but in a non-intrusive fashion.

 

Focus on Your Targeted Keyword Phrases

Do try to insert your targeted keyword phrases in your content. Obviously if you are posting up a blog post via Google Plus, then your keywords are going to be in your content, and your main keywords are possibly/probably going to be the title of your article (although that rarely happens in my case since I write my blog posts to attract people’s attention rather than writing for the search engines – that’s your call of course – if you can do both then that’s all the better!).

How to Get the Best From Google Plus – Part 2

Google Plus1 How to Get the Best From Google Plus   Part 2I’ve kept today’s post short since getting used to a new system can be confusing. Just ask me icon wink How to Get the Best From Google Plus   Part 2

Part 1 of the How to Get the Best from Google Plus series is here.

 

Business Account or Personal Account?

With a business Google Plus account you can set up one different page for each product that you wish to sell. So, if you have different niche websites all focused on different products, then you’d obviously set up a different Google Plus page for each product.

However, you can in fact set up different accounts that are for “personal” use and use each different account for each different product (or each different niche) you wish to focus on. This way, you only have to monitor a single G+ account. You set up different circles for each account.

 

Getting Backlinks

So, how do we get a whole huge stack of backlinks to our G+ posts in order to get top flight Google rankings in search?

Here is what we need to do.

Remember, you should be feeding your website’s posts through to your G+ account so that more and more people can see your work.

Down the left hand side of the G+ page in your account, find “Explore” and click on that.

Don’t Ignore Google Plus – There’s a MASS of Hidden Power to be Found!

Google Plus Dont Ignore Google Plus   Theres a MASS of Hidden Power to be Found!I know that folks kinda groan inwardly when Goog Plus (Google+) is mentioned.

Me too.

The thought of figuring out how to fully accommodate Goog+ is just too much for me to consider when there’s so many other things to contemplate and worry about if you are working within internet marketing in some capacity.

Although I’ve not ignored Goog+, I’ve not gone to town and delved well beneath the bonnet. After all, it just seemed like another copy cat Facebook in many regards.

But heck NO!

I’m wrong!

What I’m going to do here and now is list down a few pointers to get you thinking straight about this entity known to us as Google Plus or Google+ or G+ or call it what you will.
