The Power of Google Plus

I am a newbie here at Wealthy Affiliates. My website has been up for about a month and a half and I am slowly plodding my way through the trainings as I build out the content on my site.

A couple of weeks ago I participated in a live Friday evening training offered by Jay concerning the importance of Google+ to a site's ranking. It was an awesome training (thanks Jay)!

I already had a Google+ account but had not really been working it at all as I did not understand it or its importance. So, after the training I immediately went into my g+ account and started working it in the way that Jay recommended.

A few days ago as I was working on a new post for my website, I got the brilliant idea to check out one of my keywords to see if my site showed up in a google search. I did not expect much since my site is so young and I know that it takes a bit of time for google's spiders to find new sites and rank them.

I entered "draw a big flower" in the search box. To my delight, my website showed up in the middle of the first page! "Wow" I thought," how did that happen?"

Guess what? The link that showed up was to my post on my google+ account about that art project on my website. Of course if anyone were to click that link they would get directed to my google+ post. Once there here they could click on through to my website.

With this example you can see the power of low competition keywords and google+. How great is that - a very young website showing up on the first page of a google search!!

Jays training videos are Amazing! Every single one of the I have seen are gold. Haven´t seen this one you talk about on Google + but you made me very interested. Thanks for your post. /John

HI John Miguel, Jay's trainings are amazing. You can find them on the WA site but I still get a little lost here. Maybe someone else would be able to direct you to where to find the live trainings.

Be sure to include your keyword in the little blurb you put on google+.

Hi Judith, That is pretty neat. I have a google + account, and I am like you , did not do much with it. I am a newbie and am still working to get my site up, soon. Thank you for sharing this great information with us and I will connect with you on google +. Good work...Linda

That would be great Linda. Once we connect on google+ we can + each other's posts - Jay showed (in the training I mentioned) how that helps a lot also with SEO ranking.... Judith

Great! That is good to know...

Well done!
