What Is Google Collections for Affiliate Marketing Success?

What Is Google Collections for Affiliate Marketing Success?

Social Media.

As an Affiliate Marketer, we need to be integrated into.

However, what I find happens to me is that I’m focusing on my blog along with Facebook, Google, Twitter, Pinterest and the list goes on.

It becomes overwhelming in my book.

Especially when the social media platforms roll out new updates, like the new Google collections, which they seem to love to do almost all the time.  So, what is Google Collections and why would it be important to your new affiliate marketing business?

We will be looking into this during the course of this article, but when getting started with a new project, I set all social media projects but one to a posting only strategy.  Then I focus on building that one profile whichever one that might be because I don’t want to become overwhelmed.

For me it was Pinterest during this launch but it isn’t always, it just depends on what I am bringing to market.  Sometimes its Google.

About Google and Your Affiliate Marketing Business

I will admit that Google is my least favorite social network to work with.  Circles always seemed confusing to me, but there are some serious reasons why Google is important.

Any guess who owns the social media site of Google?

Do you know who is buried in Grants tomb?

I’m hoping you see the correlation between the two above questions.

Grant is and Google does.

What do you think Google thinks about Google?

While that might be a bit more of a thought provoking question, I believe the answer is clear.

Google loves Google.

Which means if you post things on Google that lead back to your main Website, the chances of your showing up in Google search rankings with your Google social media outreach is large.

That’s why you want to be sure to at least have a posting strategy with Google.

Where to Post on Google

While you could create a profile, and start posting status updates, and I do recommend this, if this is all you are doing in your posting strategy I believe you are missing the boat.

Social media sites love to update their platform all the time.

This can be frustrating when it comes to keeping your brand image up-to-date.  It can mean the difference between having a nice banner and it all needing to be redone because of the alterations made.

Google is no exception to this need for updating.

Which is why they recently updated to offering a brand-new way of networking with your audience.

It’s called collections.

Collections allow you the ability to put all a certain type of post together.  They help to laser target things so that people will know what they are going to find.

I can’t help but believe that this will reflect positively on Google’s search engine.

My Personal Gripe with Google

Google has the #1 most used search engine enterprise in the world.  That’s no secret.

Did you know that they also have the #2 most used search engine in the world?

Yup, they do, it’s called YouTube.

You would think that with all this wisdom on their end, they would create a social media platform that would be super simple to use.  In my opinion, their platform is the hardest of them all.

This might be why many people avoid Google altogether, but I don’t recommend that strategy.

Instead, at least for purposes of posting, I recommend using Google which now means using their Google collections.

However, to do that you must first set it up for yourself.

To do that, please reference this article: How to Create a Collection on Google

Why Is Knowing My Gripe Is Important to Your New Google Collection?

Currently, when I post to my Google profile it automatically goes to my collection.

I think that part is cool if I am posting content that I want on that collection.

What if I post something unrelated to the collection on my personal profile?

At the time of this writing it is not clear to me how to stop that post from being duplicated onto my collection.  Have you figured out how to make that happen?  Could you share your secret below?

This very fact is why I tend to use Google as a posting only zone.

I want the links but need to avoid the confusion.

Have you worked with the Google collection system for your own affiliate marketing venture?  What have you found to be the pluses or minuses within your own experience?

Please feel free to share your thoughts below so we can all grow in our experience with Google and its new Collection system.  Thanks in advance.

    “Guy's professionalism towards SEO is unmatched. Providing realistic expectations in a proper time frame and budget. Guy is a wealth of knowledge and is certainly a top expert within not only local SEO but everything SEO. I look forward to working with Guy for many years to come.”
    Sam

    “My website had no hits, now its booming, We started getting lots of calls, Excellent Job, Thank You !!!"
    Alex

    “Guy is one of the most passionate SEO professionals out there. SEO isn't just his job, it's his vocation. He also focuses on the most current form of SEO in my opinion and that is Local SEO. I threw a very tough project at Guy with a very short timeline to rank. Given the circumstances, Guy did everything possible to rank the project in the shortest time possible. His word is worth its weight in gold. In the SEO industry which can be very shady, this is incredibly important. Especially when not dealing face to face with an individual. Guy is extremely available and very personable. His ability to adapt his vast knowledge of Local SEO to develop a strategy particular to my project puts him over the top.”
    Nathan

    “I went searching for an SEO person. I did not want to be thrown in a template or into a company that mass-produces their SEO work. I wanted an independent professional that would work with me personally. I got that in Guy. He followed up his initial email with a personal professional phone call. He laid out a smart strategic game plan and quickly gave my website a strong foundation coordinating my google accounts, video, keywords, and blog. My website foundation is rock solid. I would highly recommend Guy as a powerful resource for your SEO work.”
    Ed

    “When I started working with Guy, I had a Google Maps listing that was languishing. I really wanted to get my listing to show up on page 1 in Google Maps. That’s when I had the good fortune of coming across Guy — not only is he responsive, communicative, and involved, but he knows what he’s doing. Within a month or so, Guy had conjured up his online magic tricks and got us into position 3 on Google Maps, landing us squarely on page 1. I’m just thrilled with the results that Guy was able to achieve — and let’s be honest, we hire folks like Guy to get us results. And Guy delivers. Can’t recommend him enough.”
    Dr. Carl
