Google now shows your Google profile in SERPs
Google announced today that it has started showing Google profiles in the SERPs while you search your name. That’s good news for Online Reputation Management agencies, now we have one more tool to fight the way up.
According to Google,
To give you greater control over what people find when they search for your name, we’ve begun to show Google profile results at the bottom of U.S. name-query search pages. These results offer abbreviated information from user-created Google profiles and a link to the full profiles. We’ve also added links so it’s easy to search for the same name on MySpace, Facebook, Classmates and LinkedIn.
Haven’t seen it work yet from other countries, hopefully they are rolling it down.
Works for a search on your name “Mani Karthik” http://i41.tinypic.com/2uruznk.png at Google UK http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=Mani Karthik&btnG=Google Search&meta=&aq=f&oq=
Cheers!
Thanks for the screenshot Vinay.
Great! Going to make a profile right now. I love free backlinks and serp juice. The more I can get the happier I am.
I never knew it until I read it on this blog. I will have to get my Google profile updated asap
