Are you going to add Google+ to your Social Media Marketing for clients?

5 replies
My first though was that Google is chasing Facebook's big fat tail, trying to keep up. After doing some research and watching a few videos on Google+, I think they have learned from their failures of Google Buzz and Wave. It will be an excellent alternative to those how aren't big Facebook Fans and want to get involved with Social Media but want more privacy. There is a big market for people like that.

Would like to hear your opinion my Warrior Room friends.

Here a short blog/video that explains Google+ pretty well...

    I've actually used a plugin by Peter Maxwell for this. It combines Google +1 with Facebook's open graph. I've actually contacted all my clients and suggested it. Most have taken me up on this.

      Lee, I believe that Google+ and Google +1 are different products..

      Please correct me if I am wrong..


      I could see how the "Google +1" feature could play into the "Sparks" and or regular search function if you are signed into google+ when searching.

        That is correct.

        They could have been a little more original to avoid confusion.

    Yes, I think it will be a game changer and help Google make up some lost ground. I just picked up a new plugin for it too and will be rolling it out for offline customers as well as using it for my own niche marketing ventures. You're right, I think they did learn from their mistakes.
