Depending upon how well you use it (Such as filling out good titles for your links, and content rich information in your “About Me” section) you may see a message like this on your Google profile like it appeared on mine this afternoon.

Your profile is eligible to be featured in Google search results. You can find your profile at <link here>.

Here are some ways to share your new profile with your friends:

• Add it to your IM status message
• Link to it in your email signature
• Note it in Google Reader
• Post about it on Twitter
• Share it on Facebook

These last three were dynamically created based upon the services which were hooked up in the Add Links section.  Make sure to set a vanity URL that matches your name as it appears in all other social media.

The awesome thing about it is that you can link to every last thing in the universe that you’re on from here.  FriendFeed, Twitter, Facebook, Digg, Friendster, Your Blog(s), You Article Marketing Feeds, Reddit, Delicious, YouTube, YouNameIt!

In my few tests, Google’s profile page for the user name in question (for several of my nomes de plume (sp?)) came up in the first page of results again and again.

Conclusion

If you want to be found set up your own Google Profile, and link to every last thing in the world with your name on it (that you’re proud of, at least).

To sign up, just do so over in the bottom right of my blog in the “Friend Connect” box using the “Join This Site” button. and you’ll get started right away in setting up your Google profile.

From a search engine optimization perspective, the new technology may mean new rules, such as tweaking out friend feed, twitter, or Tumblr to maximize your brand’s continued freshness on social media.

Right now, Microsoft only claims 8% of the search traffic,way behind Google’s 65% lion’s share of the search traffic marketplace.  While there have been rumours leaked about the rebranding of Windows Live Search for quite a while now, it seems that the a newly branded Microsoft search engine is a reality. Microsoft will have to find a viral way to truly compete with Google and Yahoo to get greater share of search traffic volume – a mere rebranding of irrelevant content will not be enough.

Kumo.com is only available for beta participants so far, so you can’t use it until the “softies” have had their turn of stomping out all of the bugs.  You can rest assured, however, that as soon as their algorithm is roughly sorted out, SEO preferences will lean in the direction of whatever Kumo finds the tastiest. Here’s a sample from CNet of the full extent of Kumo Search Results
