The document discusses using social media signals for SEO. It finds that social shares correlate with search rankings, though Google says social signals are not directly used in its algorithm. Content that performs well socially through sharing and links also tends to rank well in search. The document explores monitoring social media for content ideas and keywords using tools like Tellagence. It recommends creating sharable content that spreads widely to gain links and visibility, and using influencer marketing to amplify sharing. Social media provides a source of natural language for optimizing content as search engines like Hummingbird understand language better.
Google uses complex algorithms to rank websites in search results. The main algorithms include PageRank, Penguin, Panda, and Hummingbird. PageRank is the original algorithm that analyzes backlinks to determine importance. Penguin penalizes spam sites and paid links. Panda targets low-quality "content farms." Hummingbird incorporates previous algorithms and aims to better understand search queries through techniques like semantic search, location data, and knowledge graphs to provide more relevant, personalized results. It seeks to answer questions more conversationally rather than just returning keywords.

Integration with other Google services also provides benefits for brands.

Social signals are becoming increasingly important for search engine optimization (SEO) as Google moves away from relying solely on anonymous backlinks. With social platforms, Google can see who authored content and their reputation, allowing for greater accountability online. To leverage social search, marketers should put keywords in their Google+ profile and pages, claim content by adding rel="author" tags, and increase social shares, likes and comments back to their content to boost AuthorRank and visibility in search results.

Google introduced a new search algorithm called Hummingbird that processes search queries differently than previous algorithms. Hummingbird considers the meaning and context of the entire search query, including relationships between words, rather than just matching individual keywords. This allows Google to better understand users' intents and provide more relevant and conversational search results. The Hummingbird algorithm leverages technologies like semantic search, voice search, and Google's Knowledge Graph database to help answer complex queries directly or assist with follow-up searches.
Google introduced the Hummingbird algorithm in 2013 to improve search results. Hummingbird analyzes longer, more complex questions to provide more direct answers compared to previous algorithms like Panda and Penguin. It uses information like user location and interests to personalize results. The algorithm also leverages Google's Knowledge Graph to understand context and relationships to better answer follow-up questions. Hummingbird aims to have a more human-like conversation with users through its semantic search capabilities.
