Google's +1 is Out and Ready to Use!

Services for Real Estate Pros with Personal SEO - Website SEO and Real Estate Marketing

Are you a +1? Do you +1? Now you can! A couple months ago I wrote a blog introducing Google's new +1 Feature similar to Facebook's "like" button. Now Google is ready to roll it out.Google +1 Feature

You do need a Google Profile to start "+1" -ing things but go for it! It's a great way to get yourself out there more too! Simply go to Google and Sign UP! Having a Google account and profile is a great SEO tool because you can add all your  websites, social media sites and bio to your profile for others to find you.

 

REMEMBER - GOOGLE LOVE'S IT'S OWN TOOLS!! - USE THEM

Google +1 Feature

 

Want to be found? Start asking some of your colleagues and friends to +1 your site, your social media sites and more. There is already a Facebook Friday Group - Why not a +1 Group to encourage others to like and approve your sites? Here it is! - Our first Google PLUS 1 Group! Join today and help others.

You can also add the +1 button to your WordPress blog and other websites. For WP there is a plug in you simply have to install (really easy) and there are scripts for websites. I am still working with getting it on the AR blogs but it may be a programming issue that they will have to install like the facebook LIKE button.

"Adding the +1 button could help your site to stand out by putting personal recommendations right at the moment of decision, on Google search. So if you have users who are fans of your content, encourage them to add their voice with +1!" According to Google's Webmaster Central Blog by Kari Wilson

So what are you waiting for? Start +1ing NOW!

Here are some great sites I recommend Googling that I approve to +1!! :)

Tammy - I just found the script and put the +1 on a page. I wonder, is it necessary to have the count showing? It looks kind of awful until a few people have clicked.

Tammy - not sure how this will all work out.  I joined the group and also did a google search for you where I Google +1'd you but seems like they have to go to google to click on it.   Is there any other way that I'm missing?

DeeDee, Here's what happened to me the other day. I was searching for something on Google, or SEO or (I can't even remember now) and that Craig Daniels had +1ed something! It was not something he wrote but a blog or article or something. I thought that was great that someone I knew had already +1ed something. I made me want to click on that link first and find out why he liked it.  It was in the search engine of Google that I found it. So everything you +1, those you are associated with (by any means I believe) can see what you have liked and in turn they may bemore likely to click on it as well when they search for it.

Mike! Absolutely! Thanks so much!

Thanks Emila!

Paddy, Yes, sometimes I have read and re-read a blog before I grasp it enough to share it in easier terms myself. HA! Thanks so much!
