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!).
