Free Google +1 Code for Your Website

Sharyl Stockstill

Google +1 is similar to Facebook's "Like" button. It allows visitors to websites to mark worthy web pages to help other internet surfers find quality websites to visit. Hitting the Google +1 button is like saying, "This is cool" or "you should check this out." The Google +1 code is available free of charge and in a variety of scripting styles.

How to Use the Free Google +1:

Start by signing into your Google account. Be sure to set up a free public Google profile. This will link the things you like to your profile and your email address. When you use Google to search, you will see Google +1 recommendations as part of the search result. This can help you to find what you need faster. For example, your friend was telling you about the great restaurant he went to and you are trying to make reservations but cannot remember the name. A quick Google search will help you locate local restaurants, and if your friend has hit the Google +1 button, you will find his profile attached to it when you mouse over Google +1 recommendations.

Where to Find Free Google +1 Code for your website:

Google has it all set up for you. More advanced users will appreciate the ability to customize the Google +1 button while beginning webmasters can just copy and paste the code into their websites. Choose from the customizable code for more advanced programming options or the configurator to grab the +1 code and go.

With Google +1 providing a new resource, you can use it to organize your personal recommendations. How about using Google +1 for your business recommendations to colleges while you use Facebook and Twitter for your personal recommendations to friends.
