How Your Klout Score Affects Your Rankings In Google

Actually, your Klout Score is a measure of your online influence based on your ability to drive action, and it does not have a direct effect on the regular search engine rankings in Google.

However, people with higher Klout Scores do benefit from greater exposure in custom Google Search results to the people who are connected to them throughout the social media networks!

In other words, people connected to you in the social networks are more likely to see content you have shared in their search results when they search Google!


Your Klout Score will increase when you are successfully engaging people and driving action using the social media networks like Facebook, Twitter, Foursquare, Google +, Linkedin, Flickr, YouTube and others.

Learning to Increase your Klout Score - engage people, and drive action. In addition to the added benefit of the larger number of connections you now established throughout the social media networks, you also receive boosts in the search results within Google, Bing and Yahoo Search Engines!

If you have not invested in Social Media, your competitors may be getting a double-wammy marketing advantage - and you wouldn't even be aware of it.


Compare These Two Marketing Strategies:

1) pay top dollar for Google Ads to gain the attention of a web surfer,

2) invest in connecting to people with social media - get included in their personal organic search results in Google.


Rand Fishkin of SEOMoz gives a fantastic explanation about Social Annotations & Social Ranking Boosts in the Search Engine Rank Positions. I recommend watching the entire video. Be prepared to take notes throughout!

Or, you can skip forward to thirty minutes and forty seconds (0:30:40), and Rand begins a section of the presentation that explains and demonstrates how the search ranking results will change depending on who you are connected to in the social media services.


How to Increase Your Klout Score

After you have established profiles on all the social media sites, you may wonder what you should be doing next? What things should you do on twitter, Google +, on YouTube that will engage your ideal audience and start boosting your Klout Score?

See what I say about Increasing Your Klout Score, how it indirectly effects your rankings in Google, and how this uncovers marketing opportunities that could give your travel and tourism business a critical edge.

Search Engine Optimization is difficult and costly. 
Now you can privately leap-frog over those businesses in the search rankings, just because you are personally connected.

The Ice-Cream Sandwich Rock near Atikokan Ontario

I look at this unique rock along-side Highway 11 every time I drive to and from Atikokan.

It is a 3.5 foot-thick vein of white quartz, about 8 feet long, with granite on each side.

To me, this looks like a giant Ice-Cream Sandwich Bar! 

I've always wanted to stop and take a picture of it, and today I did!

Just for fun - Doug.

Publish To All Social Media Sites From One eMail

Here's a great example of technology bringing solutions to you.

Especially helpful if you are a remote Tourism Operator where only dail-up internet or satelite internet service is available.
 

If you don't have access to high speed internet, this new service can make it easy to build a community presence on the biggest social media sites, blogs, photo sharing sites and mini-blogs - and manage it through email!

I don't think I've seen a simpler solution to getting your message out to where people are gathered on the Internet.

A fantastic solution for those who have their email moved over to gMail servers. When a client sends in pictures from their vacation, you can format their testimonial, and simply forward the email.

Thats it!

This is great for those on dail-up because you never have to download the huge images to your computer, just forward them as attachments!

  1. The images are posted to Flickr.com,
  2. the text of the email message is posted to your blog(s),
  3. and the subject of your email is published via Twitter.com.

This is my first test.  I'm writing this email message, adding attachments of some pictures I recently took, and firing it off to:

Here's where I'll look for results:

and

as well as to my photo stream on flickr.com:

Thanks to Guy Kawasaki, Author of Art Of The Start, for tweeting this discovery today.

Cheers all,

Let me select a couple photos to add as attachements, and I'll fire this off.
