Google Pay-Per-Click: AdWords Ads Go Social

Posted on January 19, 2012 by Sheila

Google pay-per-click AdWords campaigns just received a big boost from the social media and SEO department. Google’s  recent release of Search plus Your World, a new feature in Google search that combines personal content shared with you and others within your Google+ circles and public web content in the search engines result pages, is not only about social integration in search. It’s about Google AdWords, too.

Google currently allows searchers to +1 Google pay-per-click advertisements on Google.com and their Google Display Network, essentially creating socially-enabled ad campaigns. When someone +1’s an ad, like you have been able to do for natural search results, they are recommending this ad, and the ad’s landing page content to their contacts on their Google+ network. Basically, free advertising for your pay-per-click campaign.

The benefits don’t stop there, either. +1’s on Google pay-per-click advertisements also integrates with Google+ Pages and SEO results, and this recommendation carries over to that same landing page that is used for the pay-per-click ad in organic search results. This makes search engine marketing efforts more comprehensive and can help raise natural search results as well.

This social integration into advertising has the potential to change the perspective of internet advertising and capture more attention for a longer time span when people see that their network of friends and contacts have chosen to endorse your advertisement

Google Search plus Your World, Changing SEO and Going Social

Posted on January 17, 2012 by Sheila

google_searchLast week Google Search rolled out the “Search plus Your World” update to their search algorithm, but this one is a change everyone can actually see. Google Search has always strived to bring relevant results from across the web and rank them accordingly, based on a nearly endless array of factors. Now, with Google Search plus Your World, Google’s search results get personal, making search engine optimization even more critical.

When you are signed in with your Google+ account, you will now find personal results and profiles of the people you know or follow including pictures, posts and content shared on the Google+ network within your circles. We all turn to our real-world friends for recommendations or referrals and Google has now taken this a step further and is showing these results in a mash up with results from the web.

This Google update could prove to have a greater impact than 2011’s Panda update and make a dramatic change to search engine optimization. Personalized results will be the default when you are logged into your Google+ account, and are only disabled if you are not logged in. The Google Search plus Your World update essentially will make it harder for your customers to find you and for you to get traffic from the same rankings due to Google+ rankings now showing before public listings.

For example, if you ranked #3 in a search result for your keyword, you now could be #6 or lower, and if you were #6 before the update, you might be on page #2 now. That’s probably not what you wanted to hear starting off the New Year.

However, not all hope is lost. You now know that you can’t have search without social media networks and since Facebook and Twitter results are not aggregated into public search, it’s put a major emphasis on not only creating a keyword rich Google+ account for your brand, but being an active member on the network too. Unlike Twitter, you can’t go around and follow everyone, so reaching people outside of your network is not an easy feat. Google plus Your World means that your brand needs to be relevant, well-found, and well-liked (or at least, well-shared) by influencers.
