Most of what I read in the SEO blogosphere is obvious stuff but if you look beyond what is obvious… you’ll see social plays a very small role…we know this now by the reports of very low counts found by the encrypted SERPs. See… Google giveth when it takes away. I have been pondering what the “real value” of optimizing for personal and Social searches is and the encrypted data is going to show me. Real SEO’s can track this new footprint. Google has now told us that worrying about how Social and Personalized search affects rankings was a waste of energy for many sites.

Yes Moosa it is quite logical to be confused regarding this especially when the majority of the industry is opposing it.

But surely I think there is a certain positive aspect to it also for the SEO industry . Maybe my thoughts on expressed on the following link throw some light on it.

First off, nice post Bharati!

One of the thing I want to say hear is, most of the website owner still thinks PPC works great for them as PPC gives top 3 positions very quickly and they never think to invest on SEO. Also, Google Panda worked great for PPC. Site owners who were only dependent on PPC were very happy to see their competitor’s down and only depending on SEO shifts to PPC who got victim of it.

We never know what’s the Plan of Google!

I must be one of the few SEO’s to be overjoyed by Google’s Panda.

My on-page SEO efforts have always focused on grammatically correct, compelling content as the foundation for building long term SEO results.

There are only two things that actually matter when creating great written content – good keyword research and great writing. If your work contains both of these elements, you will get results, regardless of how Google tinkers with analytics.

Panda has made me a happy panda! :-D

I’m not sure what to think about the difference in organic search/paid searches just yet, but it’s no secret that articles have to be written for the audience and not for the search engines. Don’t get me wrong, search engines are often the ticket to your site. It’s real people that bring conversion and retention.

Thanks for a great article..!
