How Google Friend Connect Can Help With SEO

Writing by Nick Stamoulis on Wednesday, February 11, 2009 Comments (3)

Google Friend Connect and Facebook Connect have gone to war. Many savvy webmasters have opted to use Google Friend Connect and there’s a very good reason why you should. In fact, there are several reasons why you should, but there is one really good feature that allows you to improve the search engine optimization of your website throughout your site.

That one feature that will make many websites a virtual hotbed of social activity is the comment box. The comment box in Google Friend Connect can help you in two very important ways:

  1. Allow others to comment on your website – It allows others to leave comments on specific pages of your website. Those comments will serve to help you optimize your content and rank in the search engines for related keywords.
  2. Allows you to leave comments on other people’s websites – Because Google Friend Connect is an Open Social application that can be used by anyone, you can move freely about through the Web and leave comments on other people’s websites, leaving back links as you go. This will do you wonders for off-page SEO and if you use the right anchor text your back links you stand a real good chance of pushing your important pages up in the SERPs.

Google Friend Connect is a social application, but its potential for SEO is just as powerful. Don’t overlook it.

There are some good points in this primer it is quite easy to miss the obvious when doing SEO optimization and loose out on potential
customers who are using search terms that would fit your site but are not optimized for it. Google webmaster tools can show you what google bot
sees which can be very handy. The builtwith website optimizer can also be a helping hand to people who want to improve their SEO but do not know
where to start.
