Google social search has received a lot hype in the media and many people thought that this was going to really alter the organic search results on Google.  This could not  be further from the truth. The new social search features on the Google search engine are going to pull data from Google profiles.  Whithin your Google profile you can specify which websites are your own and where you have profiles on other social sites.  From this information google will build a huge database of who knows who and this will be what is used for the basis of there social search while you are logged into your google account.

It is not quite as scary as many of us thought and for the most part will have little to do with SEO, nor will it change the way that web site optimization is performed.  Now, unless things change that is, we only have the facts provided in the video below for right now.  Many think that the way Google is gathering information is part of a bigger conspiracy, but we are going to take it for face value until we hear otherwise.

The video we found is created by Google so you know that the information is straight from the horses mouth on this one.

Leave any comments and questions you have about the google social search feature below and leave a link to your Google profile too if you want others to find you!

Looking forward to all the other new cool stuff from Google,

S.E.R.P is a just an abbreviation for Search Engine Results Pages.  This is a term that you will see used often when web sites or people are discussing search engine optimization.  All that SERP means is the results on page after you run a search in google, yahoo, bing or any other search engine.

Many webmasters and seo experts use the placement of their web site on a SERP as a measurement of their seo efforts.  Of course everybody wants there page to show up as the first listing on search engine results pages, but this is not easily achieved and depending on what keyword you are trying to focus on, this can take a very long time to achieve.

This is one of the most frequently asked seo questions, because this term is thrown around so often with out any explanation.

Understanding search engine results pages and your ranking is a basic skill required to become an seo master.  So, now you can continue your search engine optimization learning process and know what these guys are talking about!

Google real time search is here!  If you have been hearing about the new Google live search, it is no rumor, it is live as we speak.

Yep, you have heard about it, you have read about it and rather you like it or not, the Google real time search is live!  This is one of the many changes that google has been going through for some time now and don’t worry there are many more to come.  The full roll-out of the Google Caffeine Engine is still mid-swing and will not be totally complete until  after the first the year.

The newest addition to Gooles standard search is a “real time” search of the most popular social networks on the web.  The new “by the second” search will include results from Facebook, Twitter and Myspace. It is rumored that Google has struck a formal deal with all the companies we just listed, so this means that there is some money getting thrown around.  I for one think it is about time Twitter found a way to make a dollar, but at the same time I am not so sure how I feel about the twitter results showing in Google.

As the emensely popular google search continues to evolve, there are many new things for webmasters to take into consideration when they are working on their sites search engine standings.  How this addition will effect your sites standings is still to be determined and may not really become a factor, besides these “real time” results may bump all results down a small way on the page.

The main concern that this new section on the SERP (Search Engine Results Pages) is that by showing constantly updated results from all these sites, it may be in effect rewarding those who are constantly spamming these same social networks.  I am sure that Google has something in mind to fix this issue, but for the time being, don’t be surprised, if you start seeing a million tweets of the same content while people try to sneak there way onto the first page of google!

To Success,
