Google+ already driving traffic to sites

**HunkyLuke** · 07-31-2011, 10:47 AM

Internet marketing company WordStream put out an article this week detailing how Google+ is already driving nice traffic to sites, and in some cases is already beating or closing in on traffic sent from other social media sites LinkedIn, FaceBook and Twitter.

The attached graph shows their analytics data for the week of July 18-July 24, 2011.

Is Google+ Worth the Effort from a Marketer's Perspective?

Yes! I believe that Google+ presents tremendous, real traffic generation opportunities for small businesses. I highly recommend deploying Google +1 buttons to websites and developing a corporate Google+ presence to better take advantage of this rapidly emerging social media channel.

well, i started an account like FB and started posting my blog pics and links when i posted something new. i had about 150 people in my circle and had gotten new members to my social site. everything was going great for me till this week when everytime i post or try to comment, it gives me an error! and i wasn't even posting pics as bad as other people. i have sent numerous "feedback" requests, to no avail! i'm a bit upset. anybody have suggestions?? i was loving it till this week. maybe i should start another profile?
