Follow the Google-Facebook Road to Search-Social Synergy | DigitalNext: A Blog on Emerging Media and Technology - Advertising Age: ". . . For marketers, the most obvious place to begin to integrate the power of search and social media is with content strategy and management. No one will share bad content; it must be compelling to stand out and resonate with consumers. But we also want content to be easily searchable. This requires strong search-engine optimization (SEO) -- for both paid and organic search. Selecting the right keywords in the title of the media, positioning those keywords in the first sentence and performing appropriate tagging are minimal requirements. Google's "Search Plus Your World" attempts to personalize search results by applying a user's Google+ social data to the search function whenever he is she is signed into a Google account. The standard Google search algorithms are trumped by users' Google Circles' references relevant to their search topic. On the social-media side, Facebook is making its searches influenced by the posted content and interactions of users' friends. . . . "

Foursquare's SEO Strategy
What Is Foursquare's SEO Strategy?: " . . . Foursquare’s onsite SEO relies on XML sitemaps for accessibility. The location of these sitemaps can be found at http://foursquare.com/robots.txt. If you look at the sitemaps, you’ll see they are feeding several million URLs to the search engines. Foursquare’s offsite SEO relies on everybody and his brother writing articles about Foursquare, other sites displaying tips from Foursquare’s API and linking to them and local businesses linking to their Foursquare page. So what’s the big deal about Foursquare’s SEO strategy? For me, the big deal is that Foursquare’s site architecture is contrary to traditional local directory SEO. Look at the homepage of any big local site and you’ll see links-a-plenty. The separation of Foursquare’s home page from rest of the site link-wise is kind of unprecedented, and yet it works. So, what’s Foursquare’s real SEO strategy? Have a brand that people talk about Get users to create a lot of unique content Don’t worry about optimizing the site to the nth degree If you want to get lot of organic traffic for a local directory site, it’s that simple."

Yahoo! plots alliance with Facebook in new search deal
Yahoo! plots alliance with Facebook in new search deal - Telegraph: "Sources have told The Sunday Telegraph that Marissa Mayer, chief executive of Yahoo!, has held discussions with Sheryl Sandberg, Facebook’s chief operating officer, about how the two companies can work more closely together. The two internet giants have already collaborated together on a number of small projects, for example to share Yahoo! news on Facebook, and recently agreed to settle a number of long-standing lawsuits over patents. However, board members expect the talks to lead to much more substantial collaboration based around web-based search. Facebook has already said it plans to boost its web search facility, with founder Mark Zuckerberg noting that the social network is “pretty uniquely positioned to answer the questions people have”. Forging an alliance with Yahoo! would allow the social network to take a major leap forward in search, ensuring it remains central to its users’ lives and helping to target advertising more efficiently. Meanwhile, Yahoo!, which started life as one the first major search engines but is now dwarfed by rival Google, would benefit from Facebook’s vast army of more than 1bn users."

Google+ Shows How your Website is Performing in Google Search Results
Google+ Shows How your Website is Performing in Google Search Results: "If you have previously linked your website(s) to your Google+ profile using authorship tags (or through rel=author), you can now see some important stats about your incoming Google search traffic right inside Google Plus itself."
Go to plus.google.com/authorship/analytics and it will show you Impressions (number of times your articles appeared in Google search results) as well as Clicks (number of times your articles were clicked in Google results) for the last 30 days. The report also carries similar stats for individual pages on your website(s). . . . The reports in Google+ do not display your site’s exact ranking in Google Search but if the “impression” count is 100K or greater, your site is performing quite well and you probably need to work on factors that will further improve the click-through rate (or clicks).
Update: It looks like these reports in Google+ aren’t available to all publishers yet and hence the above link could be returning a 404."
