Google Plus One (+1) Benefits & Features for Your Business

What is Google Plus One (+1) Button?

Google Plus One (+1) button is similar to “like” button of Facebook or “Follow” button of Twitter.  It’s used to recommend content to others.

Benefits of Google Plus One (+1) Button:

  • Sharing Content: Google +1 is used to share content you like with others.  If you have a website or blog, then implement Google +1 on your page so that visitors can click on it to show their likes.
  • Google +1 Multiple Times on a Page:  Facebook’s like and Twitter’s “Follow” can be added to your content page only once. But Google +1 can be added to your page multiple times at the positions you desire. When it  exists at multiple places,  it induces the reader to click on it at least once thereby increasing the votes.
  • Google +1 gets more traffic to your Page: When you press Google +1 button, your content will be visible publicly in your profile. Your friends get a chance to read the content and click on Google +1 button.  By this way,  it brings more traffic to your blog or website content.
  • Google +1 offers SEO Benefits: SEO benefits are unique to Google +1 and it is not available with Facebook or Twitter. All logged in Google Users will see +1 button near to each Google search result in Google Search Engine. The user can click on it if the result is relevant and content is good. Also the page containing highest +1 value will have better ranking in Google Search Results.
  • Google +1 for Ads: Google +1 button is present near the ads displayed in Google Page. Based on the +1 value, its relevance and existence will be decided by Google.

E-Commerce Getting Started What You Need To Know To Succeed

  1. Domain Name (www.yourbusinessname.com)
    Determine a good business name for your e-commerce store and then purchase a domain name for the name of your store. The name should have a keyword that people would use to find your products and or services.
  2. Web Hosting
    Sign up with a quality web hosting provider. It should have at least one SQL database, and can do server side scripting, such as SHTML, PHP, and/or CGI scripting and at least 300Mb or more of space.
  3. A dependable shopping cart software. We reccommend BigCommerce.
    The shopping cart will need to have the following features:
    1) Built in Content Management System (So you have full control to add & remove items)
    2) Ability to accept more than one payment option
    3) Order Tracking
    4) SEO Ready (Search engine optimization friendly)
    5) Multi-currency support
    6) Create Item Discount Codes
    7) Integrate with other systems (Quick Books, Payment Gateways & UPS, etc…)
  4. SSL Integration
    A secure socket layer encrypts the data between the customer’s computer and your web server. It keeps prying eyes from sneaking a peek at sensitive data, such as credit card info. This is very important for you and your customers safety.
  5. Payment Gateway
    A payment gateway collects the credit card info and sales info (price, customer info, etc.) and does a basic fraud check, to make sure the credit card isn’t stolen, etc.
    It charges the customer’s credit card and deposits the money into your bank account.
  6. Merchant Account
    You will need a merchant account to allows your business to charge sales to credit cards. It is basically a type of agreement between your business and a bank. Both a merchant account and a payment gateway are needed to accept payments online.
  7. E-Mail Marketing
    Keeping your customers updated with new products, specials and information via email will keep your customers coming back to your store.
