You see it in the comments and on some of the best blogs the comments from the regular readers are as valuable or better than the actual post itself. At least they’re also great for SEO. Google loves WordPress, no question, and every comment adds value for the commenter and the poster. Look to Twitter.

Post URLs here with a short comment or two. Last, but certainly not least, is the HUGE SEO value of a Google+ profile for individuals. We’re still testing this theory, but it only makes sense that these profiles will be SEO gold. Don’t steal the show but be pleasant and useful. Micro-blog. Collaborative meetings.

Now I can respond to those posts, find out what else that person is sharing and add them to my network, follow up with a direct comment or go read their blogs and learn more. I think there’s some SEO potential here. I’ve found quite a few times that people shared my posts and I never saw it in my Twitter stream.

The quick link or the witty comment shared on Twitter has the shelf life of maybe a couple of minutes before it’s buried in the Twitter stream. With Google+ you can toss off a quick comment on a link you’ve shared and find thoughtful commentary building on it for days, in a threaded format just like Facebook and popular forums.
