Yesterday, I had a rather heated debate with a fellow online marketer, on one of the most popular topics within SEO at the moment: Namely, the impact of Google+ (and its +1s) on search rankings – or lack of, to be more precise.
Let me start this post with a couple of caveats. First up, whilst I’m very much on record as not being a fan of Google+ (I *may* have called it ‘The King’s New Clothes of Social Networking’ a few times) my opinion about the topic in question is entirely unrelated to this.
I may not be a fan, but I certainly recognise the impressive offering Google have developed in the fight against Facebook. I have a Google Plus profile, I encourage our clients to use it too and I pop on there at least once a week to see what’s what.
