Thread: You know What is Social Validation?

Hi,

When you create a new article, blog post, or a new page on your web site (a new URL), the search engine will crawl that URL. They might even see some links form other web sites to that new URL. But if the search engines see real people mentioning the URL and interacting with it, they consider that the URL is validated, socially. The URL is “accepted”. And it’s that human interaction that the search engines are looking for. If the search engines can figure out some form of social validation of a URL, then most likely it is going to be a page that they will want to show in their search results. Social validation is that human SEO factor that the search engines have been looking to include in their algorithm for a very long time.

Yes, I have heard to that real traffic is important factor in page ranking and for showing it in serps. also, "targeted" traffic is taken into account, meaning that they also note the amount of time a visitor spends of the page. the more they spend, the more useful the page is considered.

A friend of mine sent me this video the other day and as I watched it I began to think about how important it is for all of us to be validated and feel good about ourselves. Times being what they are, it just seems so few people have the time or inclination to make the extra effort. People don't seem to smile at each other as much, servers barely make eye contact with you, no one holds a door for you or thanks you for your time. It's rare that others take the time to selflessly make others feel special or good about themselves anymore.
