Google uses Social Network sites for Search Engine results

Google uses Social Network sites for search engine results. So from now on Googles search results are increasingly based on how often something is shared by friends through social media. Search results from friends are in fact often more relevant than general hits. Web pages written by friends and shared on a social media networking website such as Twitter, Facebook, Myspace or Google Plus, are now increasingly getting better results in the Google search engine.

So for example if your friends share a links on Twitter or Facebook, then these sites are getting higher in the search resultsthen if you are looking for something on Google. Among the results it also shows how often something is shared and by whom.

Google now looks not only for what is shared by a Google Account, but also by Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, Flickr and many other social networks. It is also possible to disable certain social network sites not to be display in the Google search engine.

Google stresses that only things that have been made public will be displayed in the search results. So if you have certain things in your profile is not made visible to anyone, then Google can't use it for their search engine.
