Unless you have just awoke from your winter hibernation, I’m pretty sure you will have already heard of Google +

There has been a ripple of anger from people who pretty much feel Google are forcing this upon us and using / coercing the SEO community to become early adopters and help seed it to the rest of the world with the implementation of new algorithm changes along with lots of talk from people eager to see how they can take advantage and what integration will happen in the search results . Either way its here to stay and YOU NEED TO GET ON BOARD NOW.

So what is it?

In summary Google+ is Google’s social network , nope its not Wave, Buzz or Orkut

To be fair they have clearly learned from past failures and it has some pretty neat features most noticeably circles and hang outs, which help you organise your contacts and chat / video chat with them . You can also create profiles for yourself just like Facebook or pages for brands and businesses just like Facebook, it has a news stream, so you can see what’s current just like Facebook and you can upload images and post status updates, just like Facebook and people can plus 1 / +1 your site and content, just like Facebook.

However this been Google’s baby means all of the above sooner or later will start to show up in the search results, so if your friend +1’s a website or shares it may well show up in your search results and if enough people +1 a site then that might just trigger something at Google HQ and that website might get better rankings.

But +1′s are not cool. Do you whats cool? Author Rank*

Here’s part 2 of the EdgeRank introduction

Why Baildon? Well I grew up there, I actually live in Ilkley now but 2 of my brothers still live there and on occasion i’ll head over to see them and end up in the pub. Funny when I was younger around 10 years old there used to be a shop in Baildon called Stuarts that used to sell me and my mate matches, oh memories, which I wont go into in case my Mum ever reads this. Then there was the other place a sweet shop, I think it was called Robinsons that was basically an old shed on wheels that was stuck into the ground.

Anyway I’m rambling and pretty sure neither of them would ever have any requirements for any Baildon SEO anyway, they might want to get a Facebook page though.

So how many words do you think are above? 100 or so will that be enough to rank for SEO in Baildon and / or similar terms? You see Leeds SEO is bit more competitive and requires a bit more effort than a simple blog post in order to rank.
