Trending news of Day : How to Use Google+ to Increase Search Rankings

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<h2 style="text-align: left;">
Why Google+ for search?</h2>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div>
The reason Google+ is an SEO goldmine is that the first link added to a Google+ page post is a DoFollow link, which means it passes link equity, or link juice, on to the website you share. If you’re sharing your website, you’re getting the link juice.</div>
<div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
DoFollow links are a core building block of SEO. They work in conjunction with PageRank, TrustRank and link context to determine how you rank for specific keywords.</div>
