7. Shifts in Search Filtered Search With social networks becoming the top source for news, search results have shifted from being filtered by rank to relying on shared items from individual user networks. Content Finds Us Rather than needing to seek out information, users encounter content while on various social networks; or in essence, the content finds users where they hang out. Social Click Through Rate (CTR) The ease of content sharing via social networks is impacting click through rates as users are more likely to click on items shared from those within their personal network.

Welcome to the weekly Social Media training episode. This week we’re looking at the concept of social search with a focus on what’s been floating around the social media news.
There are three major trends or shifts we’ll focus on today.A movement from Rank Filtering to Friend Filtering.A look at how content finds us, before we even know to look.And how Social CTRs (Click Through Rates) can help guide our social media planning on behalf of clients.
Top ranking links surfaced to the first pages of results. Searchers found brands that popped to the surface, clicked on those top links, found “strangers with experience” – product reviews from people with a relevant point of view. “Excellent Choice for Beginners.”New bike!

The patent filing considers this kind of shared affinity to be a “personalization” approach because it takes advantage of interests that are uncovered based upon your use of the social network or even on the Web, to personalize your results by ranking higher posts from other people who may share interests with you.

Social search returns content from people I know. Not from corporate websites. This means word of mouth from fans, customers (even detractors) will continue to outrank owned assets (microsite, retail hubs, corporate web pages).Hmmm, let’s see who has some thoughts on a new pair of Nike shoes.
I filter the results based on my own network. Looks like some really smart bloggers I know have written about Nike shoes. That’d be great if I was looking for a case study, but right now I need a pair of shoes. Let’s see, someone in my Ogilvy network also wrote about Nike. Our own Asia Digital Map blog (shameless plug: http://www.asiadigitalmap.com/) has some content on Nike shoes.Ah, here we go, two hits: one from a marathon runner I know (he’s faster than me) and a running store I really like (they have a test track inside the store). These are the two links I care about.Network filtering in action.
Your network has a greater influence on which links you clicks and which products you buy. Bing now includes Facebook content in product pages results.
The results are powered by Microsoft's Bing and feature products from China’s largest online retailer, Taobao.
A CTR above 100%? How? For every single link shared, 2.87 people click through on the Facebook wall, and 19.04 people click on a link in a tweet.
