Google+ Ranking Factors - Are Keywords meaningless ?
I've seen examples that If you bold title posts like this it can appear in the personalized results for targeted keywords. The most influential factors for appearing within the G+ Internal search are: Personal Profiles - Keywords in Bio, Employment, Education; Account verification; Number of times you appear in other peoples circles Brand Profiles - The number of times you appear in other peoples circles; brand verification & whether you have a the main keyword in the brand page name (although if this isn't consistent with your official website it jeopordises the brand verification with the rel=publisher coding)

Is On Page SEO Dead?
ShiveS, Hope you don't mind me barging in here. H1 tags, the value of conspicuously placing your keyword in H1 tags throughout the page is very questionable in terms of actual value. However there is more to on page than just "Algorithm SEO Value" If your visible post or page title is tagged H1, which by default usually is tagged H1. Then you want your visitor to definitely see the targeted keyword or a synonym at the very least. **Bounce rate and time on page is of exceptional value to the major search engines. ** If you're page title "visible title" in the SERPs is the same or VERY similar to what the visitor sees when they land, a visitor is going to be a happier visitor when they arrive, happy visitors hang around longer and they interact more. Alt tags, there is absolutely no doubt that a post or page that has images or info-graphics properly alt tagged will do better than a straight text block of text (all other things being equal) again, both for the visitor and for the SE to know what the essence of the article is. Link Titles, that sounds like an off page element? If you mean anchor text, do you mean the anchor text of the "Interlinks" around your site, ie the links on your site that point back to the page in question, I can't imagine any reason in the world why those pointing links/anchor text would not be highly relevant to the destination page. If you mean the anchor text on the page in question pointing to other pages on your site, again, I can;t imagine any SEO or Visitor value reason why anyone would place the Target Keyword on page A as the link anchor text to unrelated page B? If you think there may be a problem with On Page being dead, try this: Write the best article you can about your topic, really "the best" relevant, readable, resourceful, long and make the Title something completely different, do not add any images, or alt tag images incorrectly even, and do not point any links anywhere back to that page, and do not point any resource links off the page. So, the article is about Laptops and the Page Title is Kitty Litter. The image is a graphic about the top 10 laptops, and it is alt tagged "Kitty Litter". No links anywhere. You tell me how that page will rank, then wait patiently for 60 days and do all the On Page stuff you would normally do. Which way do you think the page will rank better. On Page SEO is NOT Dead.
