Google Explains Real-Time Search
Google explains Twitter integration into Google Search Appliance.
Yahoo has already released a real-time search integration into its search engine but Google is quick to follow with the recent announcement.
Search Appliance gets real-time: Twitter feeds now available on the GSA
Real-time information is becoming an increasingly important part of searching online – both for business and consumer search users. Yesterday we announced the launch of real-time results on Google.com, and today we’re announcing that the Google Search Appliance (GSA) can show users tweets from Twitter next to their internal Search Appliance results.
Social information is important for businesses: employees searching for information needed to do their jobs benefit from real-time news too. They might be developing a new breakfast cereal, or designing a marketing plan for a clothing line, or writing strategy report for a political campaign. In all of these cases, understanding what is being said just as Twitter users are saying it can be invaluable.
Google’s focus is to provide the most relevant search results to users. In the case of the GSA, this means accessing information from multiple sources, aka universal search. To this end, we already offer a feature called Related Web Results, which allows employees to view results from Google.com alongside corporate search results.
Customers have told us that placing web results next to intranet ones often allows employees to think differently about a particular topic and approach it in new ways. By integrating enterprise search with more of the information that exists in the cloud, like tweets, employees can more easily leverage the wisdom of the crowd.
To turn the Twitter box on in GSA results, follow the instructions provided here. It should take no more than 15 minutes to get up and running. It can be enabled for only some users, all users, or set up so users can choose themselves whether they want to see the Twitter results by using a keyword trigger (like ‘twitter’). Integration info and how-tos for this feature can be found here, and happy realtime reading.

Matt Cutts as most of you know is one of the original members of Google and helped create a lot of the original architecture that the Google Search Engine survives on. He has become one of the main voices of Google. Matt Cutts explains the value of Link Building but he also for the first time explains that Link Building depends on the reputation of the site that is linking to your website or webpage. More specifically Twitter Links do carry some value when linking to your website but they do not carry any link popularity with it since the outgoing links on Twitter are no-follow. On Facebook however the links do carry value but only if the profile or fan page on Facebook is set to Public view (not Private). And then the normal link flow is in effect. If the Facebook page that is giving a link to the website you are promoting has link value or is considered popular to the search engines then you will gain from the links… I know it sounds confusing, Maybe the explanation from Matt Cutts is easier to understand… Enjoy the video

Other websites in your targeted niche have already done the hard work and become popular and are getting tons of traffic to their website, so you should network with these people and befriend them.

Then take their URL and enter it into www.Alexa.com or www.Quantcast.com (I recommend Quantcast) to find out how much traffic they are really getting each month.
The best way to start out by getting links is to:
- Add you website URL to your email signature
- Write an unsolicited blog posting about the person or website that your hoping to connect with (not SPAM – make sure it is a quality blog posting with a great review)

There are several methods that can be used to find .edu sites that will link to you. Recently a specific method was shared with me that I liked so now I am going to spread the love and share it with you.
To find .edu sites in Google that will link to you do the following search query in Google
site:edu +”Powered by WordPress” “keyword phrase”
To find .gov sites in Google that will link to you do the following search query in Google
site:gov+”Powered by WordPress” “keyword phrase”
To find .mil sites in Google that will link to you do the following search query in Google
site:mil+”Powered by WordPress” “keyword phrase”
To find .com sites in Google that will link to you do the following search query in Google
site:com+”Powered by WordPress” “keyword phrase”
Ok, so now that you know the search queries to use to find these sites allow me explain what this method is and why it works.
This method is based on the idea of finding blogs that you can comment on and add you link into the comment therefore gaining a link back to your site if the comment gets approved. Since you are using the phrase “Powered by WordPress” in your search query you are narrowing your search down to only WordPress websites. As you probably know WordPress is a Blog / Content Management System (CMS), this means that most of the sites found will allow commenting on posts.
Of course you do not want to find just any site, you want to only have relevant sites linking to you and this is why you use the “keyword phrase” in the Google search query. And since your using the .edu, .mil, .gov sites it ensures that the sites are quality websites.
The + forces your search to have the following word in it and since the following after the + is an exact phrase (it is within quotes) it will only show results that include that entire phrase.
The last part of this search query to break down is the first part of it site:mil this tells Google to only show results from sites with the .mil extension (TLD).
