Web Design: How To Get People To +1 Your Site

By Alexis Cox


Just recently, Google launched +1, its social button just like Facebook's "Like." It's digital shorthand for "it is pretty cool." Now, +1 figures is being shared and considered once people are logged in on Google's Social Circle, which comprises of Gmail, Google Reader, Google Buzz, Google Wave, and Google Contacts. Within these sites, people apply +1 as a social button allowing them to disclose among links content and web pages that they suppose are "pretty cool."

Loads of social media and on line marketers are previously expecting the +1 to be placed into 3rd party social media web sites similar to Twitter, Flickr, Delicious and others. From their standpoint, this would start a beacon of impact into social media optimisation including search engine optimisation.

But in fact, +1 is also regarding web design. Google made +1 accessible right on its search results since it really wants to constantly offer its users significant information. Google has constantly valued quality content over a web site and offers great page ranks to sites that constantly supply quality and important content to viewers. Plus at the moment with +1, users have an instantaneous participation in providing the vote of credibility and significance with a web site.

This brings to focus the need for a user-friendly web design. Even when a site has high-quality content, but when the consumer encounter on the website just isn't very good, perhaps as a consequence of difficult website navigation or the straightforward fact that the theme of the website will not be likeable to many, then the site could look 1 on Google but not +1'd by many.

If you and your best friend are searching for "2011 wedding gown artwork" she had not plus one'd a specific search result, therefore you may end up skipping that web site as well. How +1 seems like is that on Google search results, you will observe digital footprints (in the form of a thumbnail photograph for those who make this available) on the websites those +1'd, therefore prompting you to test these web sites for yourself if you happen to know the folks who +1'd it.

With this, it now calls for cool web design and functional content for the web site to be +1'd as "pretty cool."
