A New World
Social is Directly Tied to Search Results
Google+’s Network Domination
90mm+ Google Users See Personalized SERPs
Google+ Suggested Users
The “people and pages” results appear to come from participation on G+, high circle counts, consistent contributions and brand signals
Google+ in Logged-Out Results
Both “people and pages” and +1 counts show for logged-out users.
Google+ Influences Crawling
Google’s New
“Submit URL” Box
Tweeted URLs Earn Direct Links
Google says they don’t directly count tweets in rankings, but a popular tweet containing a link earns a lot of re-publishing across the web Google does crawl, index and count.
Facebook Shares in Bing, Too
Through Bing’s partnership/integration with Facebook, results are massively personalized for any logged-in Facebook user (all 900 million of them)
Google’s DEEP Social Network

Whoa. Google really does
know everything about you
(and your friends).
Second-Order Effects
Social Activity Leads to Search Rankings
Social Drives Awareness & Branding
Keith Urban’s tweet informed 200 million people prior to President Obama’s speech: http://blog.socialflow.com/post/5246404319/breaking-bin-laden-visualizing-the-power-of-a-single
Social Drives Queries
Just after the social boom from DSC, the queries for their brand went “meteoric” in Google Trends

Earn Links Like Crazy
The links are too new to show in link tools like OSE/Majestic, but they likely have 10K+ links from high authority domains in just a few days.

A Great Case Study for SEO
If DSC had integrated SEO into their viral and social marketing plan, they likely could have earned rankings across search terms that would continue to send them traffic long after the launch.
Tactics that Work
In a Search + Social World
Google+
Tactics
Google+ Circles
Google’s “extended circles” mean you influence not only your followers, but their followers, too.
FindPeopleonPlus + Targeted Outreach
http://findpeopleonplus.com – great tool for G+ discovery
Requesting Feedback/Shares by Name
Because a +Name becomes a notification, using them signals G+ users and often results in a follow
Study Ripples to Target Viral Users
By viewing ripples like this one, you can see which influencers resulted in large amounts of shares. Hot on G+ is a great way to study this: https://plus.google.com/u/1/hot
I shared this; it got lots
of re-shares
G+ Also Uses Gmail… Email = Network
Anyone with a Gmail account is automatically included in personalized sharing
Twitter & Facebook
