It is actually here. Some might be saying, “It is About Time.” Monday December 7th, 2009 Google rolled out real-time search results. Although it is live some of us may not see it yet depending on your location.

Here is a pretty cool video that Google put together on the new Real Time Search:

To get the full story from Google read their blog post “Relevance meets the real-time web“

At the blog they stated:

“Our real-time search enables you to discover breaking news the moment it’s happening, even if it’s not the popular news of the day, and even if you didn’t know about it beforehand….Click on “Latest results” or select “Latest” from the search options menu to view a full page of live tweets, blogs, news and other web content scrolling right on Google. You can also filter your results to see only “Updates” from micro-blogs like Twitter, FriendFeed, Jaiku and others. Latest results and the new search options are also designed for iPhone and Android devices when you need them on the go, be it a quick glance at changing information like ski conditions or opening night chatter about a new movie — right when you’re in line to buy tickets.”

So Google Social Search is the big topic again lately because of their recent blog post Introducing Google Social Search: I finally found my friend’s New York blog!

Here is what they had to say about their new experiment:

“Your friends and contacts are a key part of your life online. Most people on the web today make social connections and publish web content in many different ways, including blogs, status updates and tweets. This translates to a public social web of content that has special relevance to each person. Unfortunately, that information isn’t always very easy to find in one simple place. That’s why today we’re rolling out a new experiment on Google Labs called Google Social Search that helps you find more relevant public content from your broader social circle. It should be available for everyone to try by the end of the day, so be sure to check back.”

So the question is, Is Google Search On or Off the Mark?

I think they are making good strides but it seems slow. I talked to my good friend Dave Harry about Google Social Search and this is what he had to say:

“I think it’s interesting… but still has a ways to go… but certainly can’t be ignored as far as what they’re looking to do. I think Google Wave would work well with it also…soooo… might be tied together…”

So I recently wrote an article for my good friend Ron Hudson at his new blog SocialMediaMastermindTulsa.com. The article was titled SEO Meets Social Media and I really put a lot of time and effort into the article. Here are some of my favorite points from the article:

“Here is the problem though, most people think SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is hard and is too technical to understand. As for Social Media, many of you think it takes too much of your precious time. Here is what I have to say about all of this. “GET OVER IT.” Okay, so that was a bit harsh, but come on, if you had a way that you could combine both of these wonderful techniques to drive thousands of targeted visitors to your website and to totally crush your competition, then would you at least spend one (1) hour a day on it? Well I sure hope so!”

So I love the part where I tell everyone to “GET OVER IT” cause it is so true. We all are busy but yet we all want to make money as well, so get over yourself and get to work.

In the article SEO Meets Social Media I gave 6 amazing tips to help you really take your business to the next level using SEO and Social Media to get more website traffic, build relationships, and find the most qualified prospects in your market.
