Google+ allows users to follow others without approval, post content to their profiles like Facebook, and organize contacts into custom circles. It has over 300 million active users globally since launching in 2011. Google+ impacts search results by ranking verified and engaged user profiles higher than anonymous content. Users can build their online reputation, or AuthorRank, by posting quality content and engaging with others on Google+.

“..my general rule is that people have a lot of free time and people are on the Internet, there are people who do really really evil and wrong things on the Internet, and it would be useful if we had strong identity so we could weed them out. I‟m not suggesting eliminating them, what I‟m suggesting is if we knew their identity was accurate, we could rank them. Think of it like an identity rank.” ~Eric Schmidt in the Edinburgh Intl TV Festival on August 28th, 2011 (Nov 7 2011 - SEO by Sea) @MichelleCasti
