Last week I wrote a post about using Google + Are you using Google +? Are you helping your fellow Rainers?...how it can help your SEO and how we can help each other.
It was a long post...I rambled a bit (sorry).
A few commented that they didn't have time for another social network and felt overwhelmed. I get this. But, seriously, what I'm suggesting should not take much time. It can be done in 20 seconds or less every day. I'm not kidding.
Now, if you don't yet have a Google + account, you will need to sign up for one. It will probably take you 5 minutes.
After that, all you need to do is +1 one of your Active Rain posts everyday. You can do this while you are in Active Rain! You do NOT need to go to Google +. To do this, you hit the G+ button at the top of your posts. It should take 5 seconds (or less). And, if you want to get fancier, you'll see a box pops up and you can add an intro line. And, then at the bottom, hit submit.
And, if you haven't written a post for the day, you can go back to a previous post you did. And/or you can do this for a post you are commenting on. It's that simple.
Imagine if each day, we each spent 20 seconds +1ing one of our posts and somebody else's post. We can really help each other a LOT. Feel free to reblog this...the more of us that do this, the more we will help each other out (plus improve AR's ranking which in turn will help us.

Good info. I'll use it on my next post.
That's great advice! Thank you for sharing that! I didn't even know there was a G+ option at the top of the posts! I can definitely do that!
Great & EASY idea Debbie! Thanks so much for this post!!
Have an awesome week,
Gina
Wow Debbie, that is so cool. We did not know we could do that to our own posts!
Cool idea. let me go try it. THANK YOU!!
Thanks Debbie, I g+'ed this and I am sure many others did too, thanks for the great tips and reminders.
Lyn - Agreed. I put the priority on my own site. But, then I have some on here that are not on my site, so I will +1 those. And, for ease of use, since most are not even doing this at all, at least if they incorporate this as a first step, that's a great start.
Debbie, great idea. Since I'm pressed for time (like we all are), I didn't have any ideas about going to Google+. I will check into it today. Thanks.
A few seconds a day. Seems a no-brainer. Thanks, again, Debbie.
I had no idea I could do that! Thanks!
Thanks for sharing Debbie, your a woman of many talents.
Yeah. I like your idea. It will be very helpful for all. Great post!
