Are you using Google's social network?

11 years ago

So far I'm not using it because it has less people than FB and I don't see a big advantage of using it. However G+ is not bad at all. Only it is not as good as FB.

Thanks

I am using Google+ for last 5-6 months. It is good in giving a boost toy our keyword. Also you could try using Google+ community. You can read about it on the web as to how to effectively use it.

I use it, I have about 3,000 followers. It doesn't work as well as Twitter for me, but then I have 30,000 followers on my largest Twitter account. I find that the way to use it is to plus one or share people's posts, and they get a message saying someone plus oned or shared their post, and then sometimes they return the favor. This is also a good way to get people to follow you back. I haven't been spending time on that lately, but it did work a bit.

I have just started using it but over the next few months I will be using it more. At the moment it does not seem to be beneficial in my opinion yet I am sure when more people start using it we will benefit.

I use Google+ because it offers some high quality do follow links for the content I post. While it is not always the easiest thing to get started on, Google does show some favoritism for its social network.

YES! That's why you use it. Google is forcing people to use thI'eir social network and giving link juice for doing it. You may not like G+ or circles and all that, but if you want to talk well, is suggest using it.

That's why G+ is heavy on Internet marketers and light on 99.99% of the rest of the world.

I don't know anyone who "socializes" on G+.

As a marketer, I have no reason to trust Google and can't imagine giving Google even more private information. The information being collected is not to help your SEO, but to allow major corps to send you ads.

I am getting more interested in Google+

Google has indicated it's commitment to building a social network. It's giving a boost in Serps for G+ users. It's now pushing Gmail accounts YouTube accounts Picassa etc to login with Google+ as a valid person or business. Google wants the advertising power of demographics. The more people they can get logged in when searching, the more targeted data they can collect.

I've recently started paying more attention to Google+ because I have noticed that content placed on Google+ is now starting to rank on the search engines.

I think it's a great avenue to get your content ranked on Google. Yes I agree that it's not as popular as Facebook but you can still use it to get seen on the Google.

We use it as much as Facebook. From my more personal experience, I prefer G+ in that it allows be to be selective with who to share my content with. Last time I checked, Facebook is having trouble emulating that with its controls.

I just recently got some quality free training on how to use G+. I think it has major potential. I'm in the works now to generate a nice network with it. Here is one thing to think about with G+. When you join a community its almost like instant list-building. When you make a post or comment in the community you've joined, the members get an email notification to their Gmail account. Just like you've just sent out an email blast with your auto-responder. Also, you get a red box notification in the top right corner of your screen, so whether you are in your youtube page, gmail account or whatever Google account, you'll see this Red Box notification, because its all tied in. And by clicking the Red Box you can comment, open or continue dialog. I think Google is on to something big, they sure are pushing G+ real hard. There are other cool features too. If anyone wants to check out the free G+ training, hit me up and I'll send you the link. The video training session is like an hour 45 mins. long. Good Stuff

Yup! Google+ is a serious contender and has a LOT to offer. Like SEO, if you put the time into it, you can really get some serious return.

Its great for reaching out, targeting, SEO, and building relationships.

If you harness the power of Google+ and Linkedin together, you can get some SERIOUS ROI.
