The Google+ Project is underway and it is creating a bandwagon for websites owners to jump on while marketing gurus figure out the affects of this tool on website traffic and SEM campaigns.

Here is Google’s Blog Post on 1+ Reporting. It covers a number of items that are useful to website owners such as making sure your site is verified in Webmaster Tools and linked to your Google Anaytics account so you can monitor the results of the new 1+ on your traffic… it also gives a great link on how to add reporting for your social interaction campaigns.

How to Add a Google 1+ Button

If you’ll noticed, I’ve added the +1 button on my upper right sidebar.

It is simple to add:

1. Put the following code in your header or just below the close of you body tag: <script type=”text/javascript” src=”https://apis.google.com/js/plusone.js”></script>
2. Place this tag where you want the button to appear: <g:plusone></g:plusone>

Contributing useful information and tools for the world to use is the best SEO action any web content creator can put to use.

• One site that certainly rubs-off good SEO karma is WordPress. With a PageRank of 8 and a top 200 Alexa position, contributing a WordPress theme, plugin, and/or widget will reward you with not only an author homepage link, but a link to the tool’s homepage as well.




• Also, if your site is simply awesome, think of submitting your site to their “Showcase” for great internet marketing benefit… SEO and traffic!




• And if that wasn’t enough… once you have a WordPress profile, posting in their forums also sends a personalized link to your site. I am a big fan of the “New Ideas” WordPress forum.

Thank you WordPress contributors for all that you do!
