Jenny Halasz joked on Twitter saying that if John Mueller of Google said taking selfies would improve your Google rankings, that all the SEOs out there would be buying selfie sticks.

I mean, you can make a case for it. Back in June 2014 Matt Cutts, the lead of search quality back then, took a selfie and posted it on Twitter without explanation. Even the head of search, Amit Signhal and Matt Cutts with Danny Sullivan took a selfie at SMX on stage during a panel in 2014. Finally, Sergey Brin (founder of Google) with David Hasselhoff took a selfie in 2014. So maybe there is something to it? ;-)
