Use social to impact search results and connect your profiles

It's obvious that this is having an impact in rankings and in gaining authority.

Social is where search engines are heading, especially Google.

So I took a few screenshots of places you could place your other social profiles inside of your current profiles/pages.

First off, let me note that I'll be using a live example of one of my own large fanbases (unrelated to internet marketing so I gain nothing from this).

Facebook Page
"Description/About/Website section."

You can add links without anchor text to your description/about/website sections inside of Facebook. There are also other places you can place links.





Twitter Page
"About/Website section."

You can add links without anchor text to your account settings.





YouTube Account
"Sidebar Links section."

You can add links with anchor text in the right sidebar of your channel.





Google+
"About - Website/Links section."

You can add a main website + multiple links with anchor text to your about page in Google+.






In my opinion, Google+ holds the most value here.

Especially for rankings in search. If you can grow a large fanbase in a niche, you can almost dominate it entirely, especially if you can work this into local niches.

Also you can add rel=author tags in addition to your Google+ profile, which will add an image next to your results.



Hope you enjoyed this share I spent a bit of time gathering all of the images, but it's just to point out how much the value behind Google+ really is.

And how the value of social profiles can benefit you.

P.S. Facebook and Twitter also impact results in Bing.com heavily in my research. Same goes with YouTube for Google searches.

    Along with G+ images appearing for friends (or yourself).



    Another use is that Google+ even has images appear in instant search suggestions.



    And finally, images will appear in pages that you are associated with in Google Image search.

    Social Media Marketing has a lot of lead generating power but I can honestly say its never impacted my SERP or organic leads until Google+. For obvious reasons.

      I don't see how you can specifically say that it hasn't impacted your rankings. To know this, would mean you have some deep inside intelligence into every single ranking factor related to your site(s)

      I'm betting there has been a social impact in some way or another, but I'd also like to say that it depends on your social interactions. If you aren't doing anything, you shouldn't really deserve rankings in the first place. But if you are keeping up with things, using social networks regularly, then you should get positive reactions from social.

      Also note that the future of search is looking towards social. So by using these methods now, you are helping your future in search at the same time.
