5 Ways Google+ Will Influence Search Results

Will Social Search Change SEO? [courtesy of HubSpot]
by Cheryl Wolhar - MyVineSpace on February 18, 2011
I received this post from HubSpot this morning and felt it was a timely subject to share. I have been doing research on this subject because a few of my clients have been asking for help with SEO. I find this post interesting because the holy grail has always been that we have to place high in keyword search. Now, it seems that Google has changed it’s algorithm.
Google announced yesterday that is has upgraded its search engine to include social results for users signed into their Google accounts. This means that people will start seeing search results from their friends on Twitter, Blogger, Flickr, LinkedIn, etc. This could be really big, however, we will need to wait and see how it plays out and evolves over time.
Rank Doesn’t Matter Anymore
With this latest update from Google, rank officially died as a metric for businesses to obsess over. It now doesn’t matter if you rank in the top slot for a certain keyword, because Google is quickly scaling personalized and social search. This means that everyone who searches will see a different page of results, based on their location, search history and their connections across the social web.
Marketing Takeaway
Stop obsessing over rank [...]

More on Facebook Pages Redesign
by Cheryl Wolhar - MyVineSpace on February 17, 2011
I just found another great post with detailed info on the new design changes on all our fan pages (link below).
One of the more important changes for you to know about is how the chronological order of posts has been changed. The default is to place the most interacted and most meaningful posts at the top. I believe it is based on the number of comments and likes. You can read the post to learn how to change this.
Here’s an excerpt:
Wall Posts. There are now two Wall filters. The posts on your page can be viewed as the posts you as the admin put up or viewed as the top posts from Everyone. As the admin, you can set a default under edit page. The Everyone option places the most interacted, useful and meaningful posts at the top even if they are before a new update. This could have a page look as if there is not a lot of recent activity as a posting from a week ago could be at the top. Jason Keath from Socialfresh.com shows this in his 7 changes to Facebook video.

Facebook rolls out new Brand Page design – (courtesy of Wildfire)
by Cheryl Wolhar - MyVineSpace on February 15, 2011
Many of you have already noticed that Facebook has changed the layout design on your Fan Pages (Brand Pages) and since I have been asked by a few of my clients to help them understand these changes, I decided to post this article that I just found from Wildfire that describes all the changes in great detail.
Many of the features are similar to the changes Facebook recently made to our profile pages like the photos strip along the top however, the new feature I like the most is that you can now choose to interact with your page and other pages as yourself or as your brand. This is a great new feature that was sorely needed. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had customers tell me that they want to be able to post on their page as themselves but still have admin rights to the page. This feature solves that problem.
I am not so sure I like the new navigation menu on the left sidebar rather than the tabs across the top, however there is a way to code your own custom tabs on a page that I can implement now that the Facebook tabs are [...]

The Millennials: Confident. Connected. Open to Change. – Pew Research Center
by Cheryl Wolhar - MyVineSpace on January 27, 2011
Millennials are more ethnically and racially diverse than older adults. They’re less religious, less likely to have served in the military, and are on track to become the most educated generation in American history. Only about six-in-ten were raised by both parents — a smaller share than was the case with older generations. In weighing their own life priorities, Millennials (like older adults) place parenthood and marriage far above career and financial success. But they aren’t rushing to the altar. Just one-in-five Millennials (21%) are married now, half the share of their parents’ generation at the same stage of life. About a third (34%) are parents, according to the Pew Research survey. We estimate that, in 2006, more than a third of 18 to 29 year old women who gave birth were unmarried. This is a far higher share than was the case in earlier generations.
