I saw a rumor in Facebook that says Google is dancing.
(For the non-SEO folks, that means they’re brewing up a new algorithm.)
Hmm…
That could be good.
That could be bad.
It may have something to do with the social aspects of the web these days, which I think is pretty smart. I’ve said it here before (and elsewhere) that it will one day become more about what the people think is good and want more of than what the spiders think.
Maybe Google will become like a Nielsen’s rating kind of company. You know, it’s a staid marketing tactic, right?
FIGURE OUT WHAT THE PEOPLE WANT AND THEN, GIVE IT TO THEM.
Interesting to speculate on what will happen, but of course, it’s all just speculation. We’ll have to see what Google’s change will bring.
I’m hoping it’s something that leans toward sites that are legitimately involved with social marketing. That would be cool. I love that end of things, and have been working in that milieu for about three years now.
‘course I was late to the game. Web 2.0 was really coined in 2004 by Tim O’Reilly of O’Reilly Media. But I remember having a Del.icio.us account wow… about three years ago, I guess.
Anyway, as I’ve been saying, social marketing is going to play a huge roll in search. I can’t wait to see how it all plays out.
