Social Signals and the Google Algorithm
debramastaler SMX copy Alliance-Linkcom
Does Google+ influence search rankings
Total integration100 million+ active usersAnother way to judge influence of a link and the value of content
ldquoIf you make compelling content people will link to it like it share it on Facebook +1 it etc
But that doesnrsquot mean that Google is using those signals in our ranking
Rather than chasing +1s of content your time is much better spent making great contentrdquo
SEO value when you post on G+ content is indexed quicklyhellip
