So I saw the thread that EymardSiojo made recently here about whether people perform SEO experiments and it kind of inspired me to create this thread letting you know about a little experiment that I did with Google+ a while back that PROVES that Google+ is a seriously powerful tool for anyone into SEO.
So here's what I did:
1) I set up a simple site and added lots of affiliate products to it with only a small amount of text on each page (about 50-100 words alongside each product).
2) I set up a Google+ profile and built up a big ass following (I made a blog post a while back here about how to do this here).
3) I then simply started to share those products out from my Google+ profile.
I literally created no other backlinks and didn't promote the site anywhere else. Just on Google+. I wasn't really expecting that much to happen but like I said it was an experiment.
But then I was suprised when a few weeks later BOOM I was getting search traffic AND affiliate commissions coming from this site.
It makes prefect sense though that Google would take the data about who +1'd stuff and incorporate it into their SEO algorithm.
And that's why these days I make sure I promote all of my sites on Google+ alongside all of my regular techniques.
So don't ignore it guys.
