Google Have to Do to Make You Stop Using Facebook?

What Would Google Have to Do to Make You Stop Using Facebook?

Last week, it was talk about how Facebook's "going to war" with Google. This was based on Facebook using "likes" as relevance indicators in it's search results. As some pointed out, Facebook has a long way to go when it comes to competing with Google in search. Bing stands to gain more than anyone, as far as Facebook improving its search is concerned. This week, it's all about Google "going to war" with Facebook as a social network. Just as there is little evidence to suggest that Facebook poses a serious threat to Google the search engine, there is little to support the notion that Google is a threat to Facebook the social network.

Do you consider Google a threat to Facebook? Tell us why or why not.
The discussion rippling throughout the Blogosphere was kicked off when Digg Founder Kevin Rose tweeted (the tweet has now been removed):An interesting enough post, sure, but also one that caters to much more speculation than any real facts. A popular version of the speculation is that Google will do more with its profiles. This would make sense, given that this is the central hub for one's Google account, and could be somewhat thought of as Google's version of the Facebook Wall.
Obviously Google has other social services like Buzz, Friend Connect, Orkut, Gmail, GTalk, Wave, Reader, Docs, YouTube, SideWiki, etc. As I have said numerous times in the past, Google is essentially already a social network, and these services are connected throughout a Google ID, the one that is tied to your Google Profile. It is really just a matter of how these are connected. Another way to look at it is that Google is the social network, and each product is one of the features.

Is Google going to kill Facebook with a new announcement? Probably not. While it will certainly be interesting to see what is announced (if anything), and it might be a very good product or feature, people are highly unlikely to stop using Facebook because of whatever it is. Chances are, you already use both Google and Facebook, and I seriously doubt that will stop anytime soon (at least for any reason related to this).

Eric Eldon at InsideFacebook points to comments from former Facebook executive Adam D'Angelo, who says Google's project is "not a rumor" and that there is "a large number of people working on it." Based on his comments, Google is modeling the project off of Facebook.  
Even if he says it's not a rumor, we still have to treat it as such until we hear word from Google, and we all know that Google doesn't comment on rumors. In another interesting sidestory, Matthew Papakipos, an engineer who "started and managed the Chrome OS project" is now with Facebook. One can only imagine what this means.

Listen to the Search Engines...

Listen to the Search Engines

Figuring out what works and what doesn't for a search engine can take time, and lots of trial and error.Sure, you can read what the experts and self-proclaimed experts say and take their word as gospel, but that's a dangerous game. I've seen several posts from some "leading lights" in the search community over the last few months that have had me sit up and say "huh?"In the past I've also dealt with in-house experts who had experienced one data point over a year ago, and from that they extrapolated a full theory on what search engines like and don't like.

Presumably, these people don't do it maliciously, but such misinformation can prevent you from reaching your goals.

So where should you get your information from? How about directly from the search engines?

That doesn't just mean subscribing to the search engine blogs, reading the webmaster guidelines, or even poring over what was and wasn't said by search engine reps at the latest SES. Instead, the tools they provide give you more and more information about what the search engines like and don't like.

Google Webmaster Tools 

Most Search Engine Watch readers should be intimately familiar with Google Webmaster Tools, but have you noticed one of the latest additions?

Last week Google added News XML Sitemap error feedback into the tool. So if you want to know why a particular article isn't showing up in Google News, all you have to do is pop over to Webmaster Tools to find out that the article was deemed to be fragmented, or too short. Then all you have to do is adjust your production process to make sure that all of your articles will appear in Google News.

IIS Search Engine Optimization Toolkit It's not just Google though. Bing also has a valuable tool, their IIS SEO Toolkit, which provides a nice amount of information about what they like and don't like.

A couple of quick disclaimers before you rush off to install it. This tool requires Vista or Windows 7 on your machine, the installation process isn't particularly easy, and if your site has major architectural issues this tool may fail to run correctly.

Once you do have this tool, from a command line type "inetmgr" (which I couldn't find in the documentation, but found on a helpful forum), click on the Search Engine Optimization Site Analysis button, click on "New Analysis," enter your starting URL, and enter the max number of pages to spider (you can go up to 999,999, but typically running it for 10,000 pages will give you a good feel for a site). Once it's finished running, you can then view the reports. 

The reports show all of the errors encountered when crawling the site. More likely than not, you'll see a lot more than 10,000 errors for your pages.

What's interesting when you click through to look at each of the individual reports is that they detail some information about why they make a recommendation or regard something as an error. For example, if your site has an old page that redirects to another page that redirects to another page, they let you know explicitly that link equity won't make it from the oldest page to the newest.
