Google has launched its social media system the Google +1. The biggest question now is will it affect Google SERP ?. I do strongly believe that Google +1 is going to be a strong signal to Google that people do love some content while people don’t love some other content. The next question would be will the introduction of Google +1 going to kill SEO ? There have been numerous myths that SEO is dead. I do say Google +1 is never going to kill SEO but it is really going to help search engine optimisation as it is going to promote quality website have good content. We all know content is the king and content has now become a strong factor for search engines to realise which website is good and which website is bad. Websites that have regular content updation is going to have a high importance in the eyes of Google and other search engines.
Why do website need to start using Google +1 ?
Google has officially announced the launch of Google +1 on their official website. Many websites have already integrated the button. You can see that the button can already been seen on many tourism websites as well as hotel website. The Kovalam Beach Retreat and Go Kerala websites has already made use of Google +1 button. We can see a lot more websites that will soon add this new social media feature.
Why do I strongly believe Google +1 is going to affect SERP’s ?
Google is already taking facebook likes as a ranking factor and they do want to change it with much authority signal. They do want their on technology to rank social media influence of a particular website. At intial stage the Google +1 signal won’t be a strong signal but when websites and users start to use this feature it is defenitely going to be a stronger factor. It is better that you do add the Google +1 at the earliest.
