Google+ has not been around quite as long as some more popular Social Networks such as, Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Foursquare. But, don’t let this fool you Google+ has a very powerful use that not many people talk about. At least in the blogs and social circles that I am in.
What I am referencing to is its SEO abilities, I read an article a while back that discussed that Google’s algorithms are placing more weight on social content and links from its own Google+ rather than Twitter, and Facebook.
So much so that some of the Social Networks put together a petition asking for a more equal playing field. It makes sense that Google is putting more weight on its own Social Network . But it seems unfair to other Social Networks trying to get a piece of the pie. It also seems weird because Google’s algorithm likes things that are popular, and things shared on Twitter,Facebook, and Four Square; they are much more popular and social than Google+
Most likely as Social Media expands, this should become a more stable playing field. But, until then I would use Google+ in my SEO campaigns.The last great thing about Google+ is currently as of this date July 26,2012 it is the fastest way to get your content indexed. I only say the date because the SEO field is constantly evolving what I say today may change tomorrow.
