Today Google Real-Time Search Changes Everything
The real-time Web is here. Google has officially jumped into real-time search, taking full advantage of its recent partnerships and changing the face of search engine optimization. Conduct a search on Google and you might now see a sizable part of the page dedicated to real-time search. This is a scrolling, live update of content from across the Web about your query and one of the most significant public-facing changes Google has made in a long time. It's also one of the biggest changes to SEO (as it applies to Google) in recent history as reported by Website Magazine.
The real-time updates - or Latest results - take up a significant portion of screen space. After the sponosored listings at the top of the page, then the top organic result comes the real-time updates. In some cases, the box is also very close to the fold. In short, as it stands today, your company's organic listings might have already changed dramatically. While the total number of results does not seem to have changed, you might have dropped below the fold. That means checking your search positions immediately, and getting to work on improving them.
Below is a Google results page for Obama health care. The first result is the top result, then you will see the real-time results. The bottom result after the real-time box is just above the fold. This is a hot topic, so keep in mind that not all queries will produce real-time results, or results will be ordered differenlty. For example, a search for zhu zhu (a popular toy this holiday season) shows real-time results, but at the very bottom of the page. Also impacting the position of real-time results and normal organic listings will be the number of paid search results.

One thing is for certain - Web professionals stock in Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, FriendFeed, Jaiku and Identi.ca just went through the roof. Those companies are now partners, waist-deep in the Google mix; and that's where many of the real-time results are coming from. In short, if you're not on some or all of these networks, its time to get started. And you must go beyond just making a profile. These real-time results will take into account your social graph - the connections you make and your authority in the space, as well as the content you provide on these networks. We're talking quality here. Businesses must provide value to their social connections. For example, if you tweet an important piece of information and it gets re-tweeted by your followers, you can bet Google will take notice. Google will be examining accounts' social stock and including those in the updates - on the first page of Google. You will also notice that real-time results are not limited to social networks, but include blogs and other websites. Content creation and optimization (creative copy, keyword-friendliness, etc.) becomes a mission-critical business objective.
It will also be interesting to see if these new partner networks get flooded with content noise, once publishers realize the opportunity. It's quite possible the personal space users feel they have within networks like Facebook will be come serious spam magnets.

Veretekk Platinum Control and Search Engine Optimization
What do these two stand for? Simply put seo stands for search engine optimization but that can mean many different things depending on who you speak to and the Veretekk Platinum Control system is your tool for getting there.
Search engine optimization is a process of creating a site that is setup optimally to rank high in Google and other search engines. If you are looking to grow your business online, you need your site listed in the top of the search engines. There are over 400,000,000 searches online daily. These are people that are looking for information and items to purchase.
Are You where your customer is looking?
To outrank your competitor you just need to do a bit better than them at everything, knowing what that is where professionals can help you.
That is the Veretekk Platinum Control system!
Search engine optimization is a process of creating a site that is setup optimally to rank high in Google and other search engines. Veretekk Platinum Control means strong placement on the Internet.
It is becoming an absolute necessity, even for brick and mortar based retailers and non-internet related service providers. Consumers under 40 years of age are much more likely to search the Internet first for almost anything (making the Yellow Pages and other directory advertising much less effective).
At least first page placement is vital to be effective on the Internet. Your potential customer, client or user rarely clicks beyond the third bona-fide choice they are presented with. If your site is not on the top half of the first page, forget about being effective on the Internet.
Do you know what separates the struggling, heartbroken and cash-poor online entrepreneurs and small business owners? From the confident, clued-in marketers pulling down huge numbers and results?
The Veretekk Platinum Control system!
The search engines have one goal: to deliver the best possible results in response to someone’s query. They are constantly tweaking their algorithm to make sure they are ranking the best sites. People are changing how they search, site owners are changing their sites and the engines need to respond and make sure their algorithm is always fresh (to prevent people who have found ways to scam their way to the top with black hat techniques). While most people dread algorithm changes, I find them a great opportunity. If you are aggressively but ethically optimizing your site, you should have nothing to fear and any shake ups create opportunity for you.

Not being where your customer is looking could be costing you their business!
•Search engines are tightening up the loopholes to manipulate positioning. So called "doorway" pages, tricks with meta tag/keyword files, etc. no longer are effective. Keyword positioning, along with indexing, is the way to be seen on today's Internet.
•The vast majority of clicks occur within the top 5 positions on a search page.
•As a rule, the more competitive the business category, the harder it is to attain decent placement. Conversely, the more competitive the business category, the more important placement is to success of the business.
•At least first page placement is vital to be effective on the Internet. Your potential customer, client or user rarely clicks beyond the third bona-fide choice they are presented with. If your site is not on the top half of the first page, forget about being effective on the Internet.
•Strong placement on the Internet is becoming an absolute necessity, even for brick and mortar based retailers and non-internet related service providers. Consumers under 40 years of age are much more likely to search the Internet first for almost anything (making the "Yellow Pages" and other directory advertising much less effective).
•Companies that offer "voodoo" search engine positioning or "secret" methods will tell you not to expect results for several months. Meantime, they will keep asking you for money. While you're waiting for results, potential customers are doing business with someone else WHO IS NOW at the top of the search engines .
