I came across a piece recently on how to build a strong Google profile for yourself. And the truth is that a Google profile is becoming a standard weapon in any good Web 2.0 arsenal of tools.
Google Profiles are simple web pages where you can list general information about yourself. Anyone who can create an account on Google and verify their real name through a screening routine can now have a personal profile page on Google. The most powerful aspect of this system, however, is the ability to include links in your profile, which can pack a powerful search engine optimization (SEO) punch for you. Best of all, Google provides this service at no cost to you.
What do you need? You need a good photo. You need a bio that includes key words (like teacher and blogger, in my case). You need links – to things like your personal blog your Twitter page, and you Facebook profile. You need to focus your Google profile on professional products and services you offer. And you need to consider carefully the URL you use for your profile (Google will probably offer you some choices when you create it).
Read the details of that article before you create your profile.
