2011 Search Ranking Signals

Jan 4, 2011 - 8:46 am 7 by

A WebmasterWorld thread has a discussion around what these SEOs feel will be the most important ranking factors in 2011. Guess what? In this 2011 SEO thread, no one is talking about links or link popularity.

Instead they are discussing social factors, brand factors and human factors. The three main things SEOs think 2011 will be about include:

  • Social Factors such as Facebook and Twitter
  • Brand Factors & Prominence
  • Less Ranking Factors, More People Factors

Yes, the first and the last go hand in hand but there are ways of not using social factors to think human factors.
