Breaking News: Get better search engine rankings with Google+ now!

Google has changed its algorithm to favour the use of Google+. There is a lot of buzz around this story: 

Google launched a social network in June, dubbed Google+  that offers many of the capabilities available on Twitter and on Facebook.

With Tuesday’s changes to Google’s search engine, photos and posts from Google+ will increasingly appear within the search results.

The changes effectively create customized search results for people who are logged in to Google. A person who searches for the term “Hawaii,” for example, might find private photos that their friends have shared on Google+ as well as public information about the islands.

The shape of the web will be impacted and Twitter and Facebook may suffer as a result. Notwithstanding this controversy, you should jump on the Google+ bandwagon RIGHT NOW to get higher first page Google rankings.  Moving fast now will pay off in the coming weeks and beyond.  GET AGILE!
