Google+ Announces Ecommerce Partners

Google has teamed up with two companies, Bazaarvoice and PowerReviews, in an effort to help online retailers to get the +1 button on their product pages.

“We’ve worked with Bazaarvoice and PowerReviews to make it even easier to get the +1 button on your pages. Both companies have extensive experience in social commerce, and can help you develop the right strategy for implementing +1 buttons on your site,” says Google's Strategic Partner Manager Brian Lam. “Looking for a couple examples of retailers using +1 to help their products stand out on Google search? Jockey (working with PowerReviews) and Golfsmith (working with Bazaarvoice) have already added +1 buttons to the product pages on their sites.”

If Google is pointing to those sites as great examples of how to implement the G+ button, maybe its a good idea for all of us to check them out too! Of course, Google says you don’t have to go through either Bazaarvoice or PowerReviews to implement the button. You can simply install the code yourself.

i personally think the +1 button is redonkulous. and would never click it.

I put it on one of mine. At first it didn't work because I have other java on it.

But I moved it around until it worked. Kind of like a string of old fashioned Xmas tree lights
