Surprise! Surprise! Google+ Gets Good Google Juice!

Surprise! Surprise! Google+ Gets Good Google Juice!

We are doing a series of classes on the web designed to help Realtors® get more business. Topics include such things as video marketing, Facebook, LinkedIn, Gmail, Single Property Websites, SEO ranking and QR codes. These are state of the art classes packed with tips, techniques and strategies to move your business to the next level.

So, what does this have to do with Google+ which is now the stepchild of Facebook?

To get the word about these classes out I post invites on Facebook, Google+ and to some select LinkedIn Groups. Because these classes are designed for Realtors® I limit (See "Limited" in the Google search) who will see the posts.

The class topic for this Tuesday's class is "Listing Presentation On Your iPad, Have You Seen This?" I posted it on Google+ Friday morning going only to people in my Realtor Circle.

My good friend Scott Hudsbeth sent me this picture this morning.

 

In less than 24 hours this Google+ post was on the 1st page of Google for the topic "iPad Listing Presentation." I must admit that I was very surprised. It ranked above 2 posts by realtor.com on the topic.

If your not using Google+ yet I would strongly suggest you start.

By the way, if your interested in the Realtors® web classes you can check them out by going to:

Live Agent Training and Education

We have a members only Facebook Group that goes along with the classes.

We are creating a community where successful agents can learn, meet, share ideas and ask questions.

If have questions about the home buying process or about mortgage loans check out the other pages on the website or contact me.

Google will be the new King.  I am not so sure that is a good thing as it is very predatory.  Has lots of tools as long as you do it their way.  Oh well it probably will be the best way to go, we will see.

Stepchild of FB?  Why not just clearly promote better ways to use Google+?

Alan:

I had a feeling that being on Google+ would automatically give you great google juice.  I had my picture on Google a couple of times.  Have to check to see if it is still there with a recent post I did.

Hi Alan, I am glad to hear Google plus is working for you.  I set mine up but have not had the time to do anything with it.

Question: is it simply a matter of others clicking on the Google+ button at the top of a post, or does it matter if the author clicks it?

Hi Alan,

I am signed up for the webinars but they are the same time as my office meeting each week.  I would like to be able to watch the replays but it requires a password.  How would I find out what my password is?

Alan, This is confusing. After reading all these comments I'm not sure if Google+ helps or not.

Alan, thanks for sharing.  I guess it only stands to reason that Google would index their social network differently than others, and try to leverage their search engine market share to grow plus.  I guess I'll have to start taking it more seriously.
