Are you using the Google +1 Button in your social media marketing mix?

Google Plus has 60 Million registered users and is adding 1/2 million new users every day. In some circles, the SEO pundits and Gurus are saying that Social is becoming the New SEO.

I would submit to you that the more +1 Buttons your content receives, the more quality score your content will be rewarded by Google and the better your web pages will rank in the search results. One way to motivate your readers to click the +1 Button is to use this technique.

Why the +1 Button is so Important

What you want to do is visit this Viral Video site, create a video and add the +1 Button trigger to the video. This will be an effective method so long as your content is compelling and useful. Here’s an example of what I mean.

Notice that after about 30 seconds, the video paused and asked you to click the +1 Button to see the rest of the video. To some, this might be a little annoying. To others, if the content is good, they will gladly click the +1 Button so they can see the rest of the video. How did this technique appeal to you?

Adding the Google +1 Button to your social media marketing mix will improve your social Klout and if your content is really good, could get your videos to go viral.
