Even though Open Graph is meant to weaken Google’s role in the long term as the most important referral engine for traffic to a web site, Google will be extremely important in the near future. Furthermore, even if Google’s importance does diminish, it will likely always serve enough traffic to warrant serious attention from web marketers, and this traffic is extremely important to success with Open Graph as you can use it to catalyze the flow of content from your site into the Facebook referral engine.

How Is Your Web Site Represented in Search Engine Results Pages?
When searching for your Web site, you want to see your Web site listing in the SERPs (search engine results pages) to be the representation of your company/site. For instance, you want the title and the snippet to include the information about your site/page and a marketing statement that will generate clicks. This can be done by optimizing your title tag and meta description tag. But what about sitelinks? Are these links showing up in the SERPs satisfactory?
Enterprise Solutions to Geodesignate in SERPs When ccTLD Is not Available
Many enterprise companies have websites that contain sections for multiple countries under one domain, instead of hosting ccTLDs (country code top level domain.) For example, www.example.com might have their UK pages (or enterprise companies might call “site”) within the .com domain (i.e. www.example.com/uk/) instead of having www.example.co.uk.

For a long time there been a major security flaw with following links from Twitter. When a link is shortened via a service like cli.gs, bit.ly or tinyurl the user has no idea of where they will be directed upon clicking. The best way to manage this so far has basically been to click on shortened links only from users that you know or trust. That’s the danger of clicking on a shortened URL from Twitter Search or trending topics - you may end up clicking on a link to a site with malware or other issues that you would rather not encounter.
