HOW TO : Remove Your Google Plus Name and Picture Appearing in the Adsense Ads
If you are a Google Plus user then, Adsense may show your Google Plus profile image below Adsense ads as the recommendation for your friends based on your activity on various Google services. Google calls it the “ Shared Endorsement”
It is not something new in social media. Even Facebook is doing the same since a long time and shows the Facebook user’s name in Facebook Ads as recommendation and to grab the attention of the friends of a user.
But the nice thing is that Facebook and Google privacy settings both provide the option to opt-out of this annoying thing. Those opt-out options are deep inside the privacy settings and that is why, most of the users never come to know about it.
If you do not want your name and picture to appear in the Google Adsense ads then, just follow the instructions given below.

HOW TO : Enable Google+ Comments on Any Website
Officially the integration of Google+ Comments is available for the Blogger blogs only and Google gave no information about this feature to be available on other blogging platform. But there is a method available now using which you can integrate the Google+ Comments on any website easily.
All you have to do is to add a small line of code on your blog to make Google+ Comments appear on your blog. There are HTML and HTML5 codes available to perform the same task and you can put three different types of Google+ Comments on your blog, so just select the one according to your preference or website type.
Just follow the instructions given below on how to integrate Google+ Comments on your blog. I am also sharing the method to enable the Google Plus Comments on Blogger/Blogspot blogs.
HOW TO : Enable Google+ Comments on Any Website or Blogging Platform
HOW TO : Enable Google+ Comments on Blogger Blogs
1. Go to your Blogger Dashboard.
2. Click on the Google+ tab on the left sidebar menu.
3. Now, just check the option "Use Google+ Comments."
Your Blogger blog will have the new Google+ Comments now. But keep in mind that to use the Google+ Comments on your Blogger blog, you need to have your Blogger account connected to Google+ and you should be using the default Blogger comments.
For the rest of the blogging platforms and websites, the method to integrate the Google+ Comments is given below.
HOW TO : Enable Google+ Comments on Any Website
1. Edit the template of your website and place this code in it at the location where you want the Google+ Comments to appear. You can even directly put the code inside a post as well. That is what I have done for Google+ Comments in this post.
Do not forget to replace the [URL] with the URL of your web page or blog post on which you are going to add the Google+ Comments. You can also use the width parameter to adjust the width of the comment box.
HTML Version
<script src="https://apis.google.com/js/plusone.js">
</script>
<g:comments
href="[URL]"
width="642"
first_party_property="BLOGGER"
view_type="FILTERED_POSTMOD">
</g:comments>
HTML5 Version
<script src="https://apis.google.com/js/plusone.js">
</script>
<div class="g-comments"
data-href="[URL]"
data-width="642"
data-first_party_property="BLOGGER"
data-view_type="FILTERED_POSTMOD">
</div>
2. If you want to display a comments counter to show how many comments the post got, add this code in your template.
HTML Version - Replace the <g:comments> with below code
<g:commentcount href="[URL]"></g:commentcount>
HTML5 Version - Replace the <div class="g-comments"> with below code
<div class="g-commentcount" data-href="[URL]"></div>
You will have to verify the Google Authorship for this. You can do that just by linking your Google+ profile page from your website if your Google Authorship is not verified yet.
And if you would like to load the Google+ Comments and the Counter dynamically on your website, insert the below HTML code in your website template.
Dynamic Google+ Comments
<div id="comments"></div>
<script>
gapi.comments.render('comments', {
href: window.location,
width: '624',
first_party_property: 'BLOGGER',
view_type: 'FILTERED_POSTMOD'
});
</script>
Dynamic Google+ Comments Counter
<div id="commentscounter"></div>
<script>
gapi.commentcount.render('commentscounter', {

Which Social Media Site is the Best for SEO (Infographic)
A recent unofficial study wanted to learn the link between social networking sites and organic traffic. Many website owners use social media to promote their site, but can this also lead to an increase in organic traffic? Does it matter which social sites you use to promote?
Although the study was small, it showed promising results. They created six similar websites based in five geographic locations. The websites were similar and targeted for that specific city. They used Twitter, Facebook and Google Plus to promote the sites, and one site, the control, was not promoted at all on social networking sites.
The six websites were 10 months old when the study began. One month after the social networking activity, they compared organic traffic for each website. Not surprisingly, the control group did not see a significant change in organic traffic. Of the two websites promoted on Twitter, one showed a 2.88 percent increase in organic traffic, but the other site had a decrease of 1.22 percent. An increase in likes and shares on Facebook led to a 6.9 percent increase in organic traffic, but the biggest winners were the sites promoted on Google Plus. Getting 300 Plus Ones on Google led to an increase of 9.44 percent, and having 100 followers on Google Plus led to an astounding 14.63 percent increase in traffic. If done properly, social media can lead to a significant increase in organic traffic.

6 Ways for Teachers to Use Google+
The social network Google+ isn’t just great for connecting with friends. As a teacher, you can use it to connect with students in many different ways. The following are some ideas for creative uses of Google+ and Google+ Hangouts. Just keep in mind that not all students have Internet access. If you teach at a college level, it’s acceptable to require students to access Google+ as part of your course. If you teach 12th grade and below, use Google+ only as an optional enhancement to classroom learning, or allow students class time to access it. Here are six ways to use Google+ for teaching.

6 Ways for Teachers to Use Google Plus
Extra Credit
There are many different ways to sweeten the deal for your students and give them the opportunity to earn some extra credit with Google+. You can reward students who share an interesting link that’s relevant to your current material, for example. You can post questions and encourage responses, or just post a specific extra credit assignment. With Google+ Hangouts, you can offer special opportunities for students to earn extra credit when they join in on a live discussion.

Polling
If you have a question to ask of your students, such as their preferences for a classroom activity, assignment, or their opinions on a topic, you can easily use Google+ to poll them for their responses. To do this, post and share your question. Then, immediately go to the post and leave a separate comment for each answer choice. Ask your students to “+1” the answer they agree with. You can even disable comments after you leave yours to keep the post strictly a poll.
Long-Distance Learning
Using Google+ Hangouts, you can give your students the opportunity to connect with other students and teachers in a different part of the country or world. When you find a cooperating classroom elsewhere, design a project or discussion for students to concentrate on together. Divide them into groups of ten, and then allow them to interact with their long-distance group members via Hangouts. They can just talk, or they can edit Google Docs together to complete an assignment.
Studying and Review
Google+ is also a great tool to help your students study and review class material. You can post study aids, for example, and encourage students to ask questions of each other and you. Or, you can organize Hangouts to do a group review session, especially when a test is coming up. If you have more than nine students, assign everyone to a Hangout at a different time to give them all an equal opportunity to review with you or each other.

Live Discussion
Group video chatting via Hangouts offers so much potential to teachers and students. The simplest way it can be used is to just have a discussion with your students. You can use Hangouts as an extension of classroom learning. “Hanging out” will give your students the opportunity to delve deeper into a subject, without the confines of scheduled class time. Encourage them by posing discussion topics and inviting them to ask questions or share additional information they discover online.
Connect with Parents
If you teach younger students, it’s a good idea to invite their parents along. If their parents are on Google+, they can follow different classroom activities and receive updates on their children’s progress. They could even join in on some discussion and Hangouts, too.
The social network Google+ isn’t just great for connecting with friends. As a teacher, you can use it to connect with students in many diff...
HOW TO : Animate Your Google+ Profile and Business Page (Video Tutorial)
By now, you’ve heard all the buzz about Google+ and probably have a page set up for your business. But as with Facebook and Twitter, it won’t be long before thousands of companies are vying for attention in the same social media space. How can you make your page stand out among the crowd and use it to attract customers?
When trying to draw the attention of prospective customers, you want to make sure that your brand is well established and highly visible. One of the best ways to do this is to take advantage of the five “top images” that Google+ displays on your business page. These images are meant to give visitors the best possible visual representation of what your business and your brand is all about.
It may seem logical to post photos of your storefront or your most popular products in this space, but that won’t necessarily catch the eye of today’s multitasking Internet user. Why not make the most of those five images by creating an animated banner that includes everything important about your company in one attention-grabbing display? Using the tools available in Photoshop, you can make a customized animated banner for your Google+ page in a matter of minutes.

HOW TO : Create A Google Plus Business Page (Video Tutorial)
Why use an animation instead of static pictures? Today’s customers are an Internet-savvy group that often already know what they’re looking for when they do a search for a specific product or service. They know what they want, and they want to find the best place to get it without taking up a lot of their valuable time. If your page doesn’t stand out in the crowd that is social media, chances are people are going to click away before reading more than a few lines. That’s why it’s vital to put all of your important business information “above the fold”—that is, where people can see it without having to scroll down.

HOW TO : Animate Your Google+ Profile and Business Page (Video Tutorial)
If you’re not familiar with Photoshop or don’t feel comfortable enough to create your own images, look within your company for someone who is. Chances are you have someone with both the expertise and the creativity to make your brand message really pop.
Moving images grab attention. That’s part of what makes TV so popular and why video content is becoming more mainstream. Taking the time to incorporate your brand’s message into an engaging collection of images increases the odds that potential customers will stay on your page long enough to create conversions for your company.
Once you’ve attracted customers to your Google+ page, you want to keep them coming back. Remember to update your streams regularly and respond to any posts that others make in a timely fashion. This way, customers will see your company as personable and helpful and will be more likely to come to you when they need the products or services you offer.
By now, you’ve heard all the buzz about Google+ and probably have a page set up for your business. But as with Facebook and Twitter , it w...
Discover How Google+ Can Benefit Your Business
Launched in November 2011, the Google+ Business Page has the potential to become the leading social networking and online marketing tool for businesses. If you’re yet to sign up, or are weighing up the benefits, never fear. Read on to find out exactly what Google Plus is, and exactly how it can benefit your business.

What Is Google+?
Powered by Google, Google Plus is a new social media platform and great marketing tool. With over 1 million unique visitors a month, compared to Yahoo’s 600,000, the search engines latest brainchild has the potential to be huge. Google+ currently has more than 90 million users, competing with Facebook’s 800 million.
What makes Google+ different is its influence on search engine results. The power of personalised search could prove extremely attractive for many of your clients. If they’re connected with some of your previous and current clients, your page shows up in a personalised search engine results page. This could then persuade them to buy from you too.
Similar to the other social media pages, you can create both a personal and a business Google+ profile. Before jumping on the proverbial bandwagon, it is important to understand just what Google+ has to offer, and how it can benefit your business.
What are the Benefits of Google Plus?
As well as appearing in personalised search engine results, a Google+ page also boasts a number of unique benefits for your business. The sites features include aspects from Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, LinkedIn and even Skype. While this might seem a bit much, each feature could have a really positive impact on your business.
The ‘+1’ feature is very similar to Facebook’s ‘liking’ feature. You can place the ‘+1’ icon on any page of your website to signify that it is both important and recommended content. By clicking on this, your clients will share this information with their friends. The number of ‘+1’s’ you have received can help increase your business’s search engine rankings.
You can create a number of business ‘Circles’ to tailor and target the information you send out to your connections. For example, you can have a Circle for past clients. Here, you target information about new services and offers that they could benefit from. You can have any number of ‘Circles’ which helps you target specific information to specific people.
Another unique feature of Google+ is the ‘Hangout’ feature. A Hangout is, put simply, an online video conference. This allows you to communicate with colleagues and partners all over the world. This is a great tool in terms of marketing as you can regularly keep clients, colleagues and partners up to date with your work.
Is Google Plus Really Better Than Facebook?

There have been murmurings amongst both businesses and personal users, that Google Plus could be better than Facebook. The two social media platforms share a number of similar features, but Google+ has even more unique and beneficial ones.
Google’s social networking effort is also more business orientated that its rivals. Specific business pages enable users to join your Circle, +1 all of your information, and share it with their friends. This strikes a much needed balance between a personal and professional relationship with your clients.
The personalised search engine options are great for optimisation and search rankings. Your business page is much more likely to show up in people’s personalised search engine results with the help of the +1 feature.
It is important for businesses of any size to implement a social media strategy. And any strategy should include Google+. Marketing and communication with clients is changing, and it’s vital your business moves with the times.

Is Google Plus A Threat To Facebook?
Google Plus at first glance is like any other social networks lets you share, update status, photos, videos and seamlessly chat with your friends. Google Plus has borrowed several features from Facebook and Twitter.
Google Plus however has tried to differentiate itself from other social networks with innovations such as:

Circles
Circles is a concept that lets you ,select people that you like hanging out with, much like groups on Facebook. You can have several circles in different categories based on aspects of your life such as your profession, hobby or interests. Circles lets you easily manage information, ensuring what you share with different circles remains independent and private from each other. For example you can include your mum in your personal circle yet you exclude her from your professional or interest circle. Considering the problems Facebook has faced with regards to privacy concerns Google Plus scores a major point with this application.
Hangouts
Google Plus has introduced new video chatting and conferencing feature. The feature lets you and your friends, hang out together through video conferencing or group video chat. Hangout is an awesome application that lets you continue that real time interactions with your friends or family despite the distance and location barrier. Facebook also introduced video calling feature recently using Skype from Microsoft, though with Skype you can only video chat with one person at a time.
This application might become very useful with small businesses who deal with clients via email and phone as they can now do video conferences very simply. So if for example you are a small health and safety consulting company then you can use this feature to connect more easily with businesses you work with furthermore it will allow you to have more personal relationships and for consultants and small businesses this is very important.

Huddle
Google Plus Huddle allows you to engage your friends or circles by sending them group texts, and this features allows you to share information to your circles simultaneously ensuring you and your circles are on the same page as well as up to speed with events and activities happening within your circles.
Sparks
Google provides you with links and articles based on your preference. The feature ensures that you are kept up to speed with news and information in the areas of your interest. Again this is very good for work related aspects, so using our health and safety consulting business example again it means you can use ‘Sparks’ to stay up to date on the latest health and safety news on the web.
Instant Video And Photo Uploads
Google Plus has improved uploading of photos and videos experience by increasing its speed .There is also an application that enables easy photo and video uploading from mobile applications (apps) making its an easy seamless process. Facebook also has this feature, though Google Plus feature seems more robust and speedy.
Graphical User Interface (GUI)
Many people love simplistic web designs, Google Plus just like its mother company Google Search has a simple design that makes even ,the less technically users easily understand how it works.
As the debate rages on whether Google Plus is a threat to Facebook what its clear is that Google Plus has a lot of catch up to do. Facebook has over 750,000,000 million users while Google Plus has so far netted 25 million users. Expect cut throat competition from both companies, meaning it’s you and me who will benefit greatly from this brand war.
Last Word
Google as the leading a search engine company has a lot of influence on online advertising and marketing. It will surely use its abundant resources to the fullest, in a bid to usurp Facebook as the leading social network. Whether Google Plus will surpass Facebook as the preferred social networking site remains to be seen – time will tell.

Is Google Plus Losing Users?
Many people have been very impressed with the new social media service Google recently released called Google Plus and while it has been somewhat a success so far, recent reports have implied interest with Google’s social media service might be waning.

Ups and Downs
As stated above the initial launch of Google Plus was very impressive and the interest around the service was immense as it is one of the only companies that could produce a service as a legitimate rival to Facebook and Twitter. We are getting to the 6 month mark of the service going live and what is being reported by Hitwise is that there are sharp drops and rises in users using the Google Plus week on week.
Furthermore Google has not been very forthcoming with releasing the metrics and data of the Google Plus service which leads many critics to believe that this is because the figures are not very impressive. In the first few months Google Plus was not available to everyone, however since September it has now been made available to everyone who wants to join and this gives us a better idea of its overall performance.
A big problem for Google Plus is that it generated a lot of interest initially and as a result many people setup accounts but what the figures from Hitwise are indicating is that many of these people are not returning.

To Soon To Tell
The service is not even 6 months old so any predictions really are just pure speculation at this point and Google Plus is bringing out new services and features all the time which is exactly what users want to see.
For example it used to be that only pages for people could be created on Google Plus where as now they allow you to create business pages for companies as well.
