There are a lot of topics about the benefits of “Social Marketing” over the net. Among other social networks, Google Plus might be the best and most rewarding.
It’s very important for a blogger to share the link of their new blog post on Google+ for the following reasons:
- Your link will appear immediately on Google search through the G+ post. Moreover, it’ll be at the top of search results.
- Your link will be open for more +1s. The more +1s your link gets, the higher its ranking is. Nothing official in this regard though.
A link will get +1 through one or more of the following:
- Each sharing of the link to Google+.
- +1 on the G+ post that contains the link (or sharing it).
- +1 on the blog post itself through the official button of Google+. (see also my Letter to WordPress)
SO, start auto sharing your blog posts to Google Plus. AND, follow people with similar interests and give them +1s. They usually pay the favor back and +1 yours.
as a new blogger leaning a lot of new stuffs from your article thanks
Thank you, Biyaheng, for your kind words. Glad it was of a help.
It seems logical that if you want Google to notice you, that you should post on their platform.
Thank you very much, Sherron. Yes, it’s definitely the logic behind it.
It only takes a few seconds to add to Gplus so it’s a no-brainer!
Thank you very much, Roland. That’s why I always recommend doing it. It’s a quick win!
