So I just saw this in the SERPs:
It’s interesting that when you’re signed in to Google Plus all this detail shows up, what does this mean:
1) Google’s way of subtly enforcing people to use Google Plus but in a “fun” way of gamifiying the process – similar to Linkedin:
2) The “Growing Importance” of Author Rank and Google’s little hint of guiding people along the way……
3) I am a vain person that enjoys Googling himself on a daily basis….
Conclusion
There are probably a lot of “other” reasons why people will find this significant in the bigger picture but for the time being, I thought this was pretty cool… with these subtle changes coming through like last week for example from Dan Barker…..
Take Away
I can say this for certain that “Google Plus is here to stay, it will grow and evolve – get used to it…….”
