How to get More Google Plus One Clicks While You Boost Your Business

Exactly How to get more Clicks on your Google Plus One Button continues to be the big ‘+1 question’ since its launch earlier this year.

(If you don’t know what it is, read my post about the Google Plus One Button)

The recent roll out of Google Plus has breathed a new wave of possibilities into the Plus One Button. In the context of Google+, its value and meaning as a tool for recommending content online have increased (and will continue to do so…)

So far, we know that 1′s will influence Google Search Results in two major ways.

Firstly, If you make a search whilst signed in to a Google Account, any 1′s from your connection will be shown “Jym Tarrant +1′d this” etc. Social Proof.

Secondly, Google has clearly indicated that it will use the +1 button data as a ranking signal, which means that more 1′s is going to help your rankings.

But for those who want to benefit by garnering social proof and potential search ranking benefits from it (that’s every online marketer and business blogger in the world), the question still remains:

How Do You Get More Google Plus One Button Clicks?

Well, the first and most obvious answer is to ask. Put in a call to action, email your list… Secondly, install the button in prominent places on your blog or website so it’s easy for your readers to find and click. You could even write a post about it letting them know how great it is (I did).

But there’s another (better) answer.

Give your visitors an incentive to click the +1 button.

How?

With a cool little inexpensive premium WP plugin called ‘Plus One Profits’

Get More Google Plus One Clicks: ‘Plus One Profits’

Here’s how it works:

Install the plugin, then click on the +1 in your post editor and add it within your post. It’s literally a click of a button:

But we could already insert the button code!

True. But that’s not all.

When you insert the plus one button, a simple menu pops up, adding a few super cool tweaks into the mix

Firstly there’s a selection of button sizes, and the option to turn the click counter on or off. Basic stuff.

Next up, you can set the +1 to be added to any URL you like. Personally I prefer leaving it where it is, but think about it – direct plus one clicks to your sales page, money page, subscription page, home page – whichever page you most need to get ranked to impact your business.

Finally (and this is the function I really like about Plus One Profits) you can redirect anyone who clicks your +1 to another page or post. Why would you do that? Hmmm…. Let’s see now…

Let your readers know there’s an offer/freebie/exclusive post available to them, and the only way to get to it is by hitting that plus one.

Want to take it a step further? Make that a squeeze page as well. Along with the promised value, you can include an opportunity to sign up for something, make it a sales letter, preview, whatever you like.

This little bad boy will:

- Get more Plus One clicks by offering something in exchange.

- Help you direct traffic to ‘money pages’, either on or off your blog.

Increase Plus One Clicks, Conversions and Profits

We all know that when there’s something with perceived value being offered for free, people will make the effort to click through to it.

The Plus One Profits plugin sidesteps the problem of people not being bothered to sign in to their account, preferring to ‘Like’ your post out of habit etc.

And to top it all off, it enables you to bring traffic to the pages that matter.
