Spændende. Selvom man selvfølgelig aldrig skal tage Cutts ord helt bogstavelige.

Matt Cutts Officially Debunks Google +1 “Correlation” Studies.

I’ve been saying for a while now that Google +1 is not a serious ranking factor, but that the power of Google+ SEO comes from PageRank in Google+ which is passed the way PR always has, through links & in Google+ that comes in the form of shares, embedded links, +mentions & even external links back to G+.

Somehow the +1 Baby just would not go to bed and the theories were revived with a series of correlation studies a few weeks ago, which I mostly just ignored.

Finally though (kinda overdue), Matt Cutts came out with the following post 2 hours ago and you can read the following threads here. news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6243451

Google Plus can however, be a very powerful search ranking factor. It just doesn’t come automatically, through activities like +1. It comes from Google+ Authority you build up in the form of PageRank. It doesn’t happen on a single day, or a single post (yes, even if it goes Hot). The Google+ PageRank is built up over time and comes especially from, other authorities.

Wasn’t gonna go into all of this today, but since Matt brought it up, I thought it would be a good time to explain. So if you really want to dive into depth to see where the power of Google+ SEO, or what I also call #SMOforSEO and #SocialSEO comes from, then you can read my PageRank in Google+ series here…
