Google+ and SEO

Google +1 button make the search results sociable, everytime you click +1 button for a url, the url will get promoted in the searching rank results when your friends search the similar keywords.

I made a test by using my three G+ accounts: A(12000 followers) B(500 followers) C(10 followers). A/B/C , have google connections for each other, including gmail, buzz, reader and G+.

I search 2 keywords and choose the URL to click +1 button by signing in the three G+ accounts one by one. Then I search the same keywords by signing in A/B/C one by one, I would like to see how the search results influnced by your google friends. Below is the conclusion:

1. You can not see every +1d made by your google friends although they click +1 button. I thought it might be a postpone. Sometimes your friends click +1 button for a URL, but you don’t say the +1d made by your friend behind the URL.

2. Your close google friends’ +1 will make the regarding URL promoted in your searching results. Google is very smart to evaluate the relationship between you and your google friends. The quantity of google+ followers is not that important.

After the test, now I understand why google want every google profile is real name. The reason is stop spamming, stop some bad guys to register many G+ accounts to click their own websites. Real name means everyone can only one google profile. Only the google account who have profile can click +1 button.

The sociable searching rank results is very hard to get polluted by spammers.Google+ and +1 button will do an very important role in a sociable new google.

Today I make more tests, now I get the conclusion: +1 button will make your website crawled by google robots very quickly. If you launched a new website, you should add +1 button in the website, then you signed in with your google account to click +1 button. Soon you will find your website get crawled by google robot.

In the past, google search ranking is emphasis on the external links of a website, now I thought +1 button become more and more important. If you have a strong google+ account(many people circled you), your google+ will be your good tool to make SEO.

Now google try his best to make google search results to be sociable, and google launched +1 button which you can considered as “like” of Facebook. SNS websites is the biggest threat to Google, the top 1 SNS website is FACEBOOK.

Google thought if the search results getting sociable, the people will like the search results more. And I do think so too. Google +1 button means that when you find a website is good, you can click +1 button.  Doubtless to say, if  a website get more +1 button, the search ranking of the website will get better.  When you click +1 button for a website, your friends in google reader, google buzz and google+ will find the website easily since the ranking of the website get higher in their search ranking results due to your +1 button.

You can imagine, if you got tens of thousands of contacts in google+/google buza/google reader, everytime when you click +1 button for a website. The search ranking of the website will get promoted in your friend circles of GOOGLE.

To prove it, I made a test.  I signed in my google+ and searched keywords, then I choose NO.91 of the search results and click +1. Then I signed in another GOOGLE+  to search the same keywords, surprised  I found the search rank the websites promoted to NO.31 from No.91.

If you have more google contacts, your +1 button will more helpful to a website in search ranking.
