Facebook Share now most important social media influence on google ranking

Facebook + Twitter’s Influence on Google’s Search Rankings | SEOmoz.

I’ve switched to Google Chrome. These are the extensions i use … And an update on my SEO Activities.

So yeah I have finally made the switch to Google Chrome. What made the big difference was the growing number of extensions.

I will still use Firefox but mostly for SEO and development stuff. There are too many SEO tools based on Firefox that I don’t see yet on Chrome.

The tools that prevented me so far from switching were a decent password manager which is now available with LastPass, Evernote Clipper and AdBlock+ as I use them a lot in Firefox.

Other extensions I’ve installed are the Docs PDF/PowerPoint Viewer and the Google Reader one click subscription button (I know RSS is oldschool but I still use it for some stuff). For SEO I have Chrome SEO which is quite rudimentary and for web development purposes I have Webpage Screenshot.

I’ll get rid of my good old trusted delicious bookmarks in favour of synced google chrome bookmarks… Good enough i guess. The only downside really is that they won’t show up in my Friend Feed Stream on the right.

Google Chrome is now also Greasemonkey ready as I read lately on Matt Cutts Blog.

Well I am gonna miss you Firefox, you’ve done well all those years…

In other News: I’ve invested a lot of time lately in PageRank Sculpting.

In the past it was a great technique to channel PR to where you want it in your site.

Then Google changed the game by starting to read javascript and treating the rel=nofollow tag differently.

SeoMoz then said (back in July 2009) that the new PageRank sculpting is link consolidation and then in December 2009 they conducted a test to figure out wether rel=”nofollow” is still relevant or not.

Their first result was a yes. But then they backtracked and basically said they don’t know because the test was flawed…

The whole thing is quite funny. Obviously there are other methods to channel page rank as well, but it’s still interesting to see what the outcome of their experiment will be.

I basically agree with with Graywolf if you don’t see a traffic drop don’t change anything.
