Google Indexing Facebook Comments

Facebook Comments Thread

Facebook Comments Thread

Now that Google is indexing JavaScript-originated content, such as Facebook comments, businesses may start seeing a shift in search engine results. What does this mean for you? Well, if there is a lot of buzz on the net about your business, and that buzz is contained in Facebook comments, searchers may now be exposed to said buzz – good or bad!

This underscores two powerful needs:

  1. It is now more important than ever to monitor your company’s buzz. This will ensure if there is negative sentiment about your brand, you can quickly and proactively address it.
  2. If you are not engaging with your customers on sites such as Facebook and blogs, you are missing out an opportunity to generate positive buzz and equally important earned media.
So, get cracking on your Facebook and social media engagement and monitoring strategy. Before you know it your rank in search results may just start rising!

Google Expanding “Search Spam” to Native Search Experience

Google seems to be ramping up its aggression towards spammy search results as it has now moved to make the spam reporting feature a permanent part of the search experience, reports eWeek. Previously, this was relegated to a browser extension for Chrome, but is now rolling out as part of all search results. Just how the Google team will use what is reported is a mystery, so we can only hope that justice will prevail.

Another Win for Searchers!
