Google’s real-time results – How to get in

Posted: January 6, 2010 at 10:21 am | No Comments

Starting December 2009, Google search engine started to show real-time results on its search engine result pages.

The real-time result box is displayed for search keywords and phrases that are currently in discussion on popular social network websites. For Google to provide these real-time results, they started many partnerships with websites like MySpace, Facebook, FriendFeed, Identi.ca, Jaiku, and Twitter.

Google hasn’t showed how these real-time results are chosen but it looks like some things that seem to have some sort of effect. So if you want your tweets to be shown in Google’s real-time results, you should consider doing this:

  • Google seems to create profiles for users who re-tweeted much more than other users. And if that Twitter user has so many high-authority followers, then it’s more likely that these tweets will show in the real-time results.
  • Google seems that they want to identify spammers by the quality of their followers and the quality of their tweets.
  • Google also seems that they are now analyzing the text that is used in the blog post, tweet, etc. to rate the quality of the post or tweet. If a post quality is low and it looks like spam, then it won’t be chosen to show in the real-time results.

All the collected data will be used to decide an “Update Rank” for each contributing user in social networks and whose post will be shown on Google.

Thank you! As you well know, I am working with a complicated site, with several sub-sites. I'm learning several new languages as I go. I also use a database that in user interactive and backups are of the utmost importance. If I mess up and have to revert to a backed up version of my site, I can loose valuable information from my database if the backup is not current. Now, I'll be able to keep it current - Even when I have to use a backup. Thank You!
