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,
