(3) Why Google Decided to Offer Face Search by Using Pictures From Social Networks – To be fair, Google hasn’t yet decided to do this – it’s merely put forward a patent application for a system that might be capable of doing a face search. So what’s the point – and what does it mean for the SEO company? Ostensibly the point of face searching is to enable “next generation” type searches – that is, web searches started by something other than typing a query into a search bar. The face search would presumably be commenced by someone using their mobile device to take a photo. You take your pick and upload it into Google, which then identifies the items in the image (in this case the faces), pulling up their social media information perhaps.

(5) Link Building Networks Fall to the Mighty Hand of Google – Last week we saw some big changes from Google as they continue to update their algorithms and the way they rank web sites. The most recent news and discussion was on the dismantling of BuildMyRank completely shutting down. For those of you who don’t know about Build My Rank, it was an extremely large and successful network of high Page Ranking blogs that made up a content link building service. Someone would join BuildMyRank, pay a monthly fee and contribute articles to the network of sites. For ever 150+ word article you provided, your content would then be posted on one of their network sites.
(6) Google+ Commenting System, Share Your Thoughts! – In another try from Google to dominate the internet, there are some hot news shared and discussed in the Google event G-Saudi Arabia, the most interesting news is Google to launch a new commenting platform based on its network that can be used by third-party like the Facebook third-party comment platform. Isn’t it Amazing? Google+ Commenting System From what I see on the social talk, people feel sorry for commenting platforms like Disqus and Livefyre, I personally don’t really care for any third-party platform for commenting as I prefer to use the WordPress default commenting system on my blogs as I see the value of SEO in comments, and I am also able to enjoy the CommentLuv plugin with my blog readers.
That is all for this week round Up
