Google Drops Another Bomb – Google Profiles Show up in Search Results
Yesterday Google finally announced why the heck we want a Google profile. Well for those of us who want additional search results on the web this is great news. For the average person this probably doesn’t matter too much because your friends can already find you but for those of us looking for some more of that good Google juice this is great news.
I will walk you through what you need to know to get this baby up and running.
The first thing you should know is that by default this is not a public profile. The reason for this of course that you might not want people to spam you but those of us who want a bigger internet presence then this is the price we pay. So yes you will get your Gmail account spammed if it’s not already (and it probably is.) Anyways there are a few things you need to do to make it go public.
I don’t know where each of you is at as far as filling this section out. If you were good boys and girls this part was already filled out in case you wanted people to find you from your Google Blogger profile but for those of you who are naughty start filling this out. I would suggest that you use your real name. Some of the big areas here are going to be location of course because we want this profile to be seen on Google maps (it is probably just a matter of time for this to happen.)

It takes some time to get the profile to appear in search results. I put mine up last night and am still waiting for it to be indexed. I don’t know how long this will take but I can’t say what other areas you should be focusing on to maximize this profile for SEO purposes. One thing I will assume is that this profile will carry some serious weight and if it does have a lot of weight the sites that you link to will of course be sent some serious link juice. If you notice how it’s set up you can choose the title of the link which I am again assuming acts as anchor text for the link. Anchor text is what you are telling Google the site you are linking to is about so choosing good keywords that make sense to humans as well as targeting your niche is important. I would target interior pages as well as your blogs and any other site that you want more links built to (I would assume this is every site you have) I don’t know what limits are imposed here so I would pick and choose carefully for now. Google has some suggestions as well and they are good ideas. Choose wisely and if they let you put in more keep going. Once my profile is indexed I should be able to provide more information as to what you should be optimizing but the same rules should apply.
Some final notes.
Make sure your full name is listed so that it appears in search results. Google should guide you through the steps necessary to make sure your profile goes public.
