Introducing Google Plus Share Button
Along with launching its Drive cloud storage solution, Google just released its answer to
Facebook's Share button. This new tool can be embedded on your website or blog and will allow
you and your visitors to easily share content from anywhere on the web directly to Google+.
The Google+ Share button works in a similar fashion to the Facebook Share button, including a
share count and thumbnails of people in your circles who have already shared that item. It is
somewhat a less confusing and more straightforward version of the +1 button.
The new share button works differently from the +1 button, which recommends links to show up
in search results. Instead, the Share button allows you to share an article with your circles or
followers.
Once you click the button, you’ll be able to specify how you want to share in your circles, add your
comments and post it on your Google+ profile. There's a decent amount of people out there that
have the impetus to share content on Google+ and Google knows this is a good way to attract
more users on their social media platform.
You can add the share button before and or after a post along with Twitter, Facebook, LinkEd, etc.
These are configurable options so you can have the button before the post, after the post, or
both.
Installing the Share Button
The manual code is available at their developers' site:
(https://developers.google.com/+/plugins/share/?utm_source=blog&utm_medium=gplusdevelope
rs&utm_campaign=shareplugin)
There is also a Wordpress plugin and using it has proven to be powerful. This automatically
configures the Google Share Button to all post in a website or blog whether recents posts or
archived ones.
When you share something through the Share button it has the potential to get shared more.
Through your posts on Google+, it will create a powerful backlink to your main site. You will notice
their is a positive effect on your rankings later on.
Installing the button through Google's Developer site would require you to manually cut and paste
the code into every blog post but through this plugin, it automates and simplifies the whole
process.
Having this Goggle+ Share plugin is now a must if you want to maximize the power of
bookmarking on your Google+ posts.
