    I am using Google+ for Business.

    With my blog page on Google+, and out of all traffic from Social Network sites, most of the visitors comes from Google+, then Twitter and then Facebook. I think Google+ is far better than Facebook Fan Page for promotion.

    At what point do you think having Google + becomes better than facebook or twitter? Do you have to have a large number of circles or a business account or just know a lot of people to have its power kick in?

    I have a business page on G+. At first I got really excited about having a business page on there, but then I started feeling like I was one of the ticks with no dog to suck blood from. I was looking for visitors to share my service with, instead I found a bunch of entrepreneurs who want to share their stuff with everybody else and don't give a rat's ass about what you have to offer.

    If you want to use G+, you must have gmail. So you are obligated to them or smth... Facebook or twitter is much better. Besides - Pinterest is even better. It is visual.

    Google + is a great way to divide all your contacts by topic. It's fun and easy to join different groups, too.

    I like google + by the convenience and connectivity of its users high. Another thing is that Google + is a lot of users.

    I agree. I use Google Plus to promote my clients' businesses and it is great for targeted traffic and SEO. Here is a video I made showing you how to do this:

    look, I think that having a Google+ account is vital for any business, if not only because Google is surely favouring websites linked with G+ because G+ is their own service. They do the same for Youtube videos, right? So I would definitely have a G+ account for my business. Doesn't have to superactive or have lots of contacts to count.

    Not currently, Google+ seems pretty inactive to me at the moment.

    Google+ is far from being inactive, I know a lot of people who use google+ also remember that sharing your links on google+ is something that surely google like as I am pretty sure that google link that to it's directory. one of my blog is shared on google+ and receive tons of visits via google even though I am not seo-ing it

    I like G+ for traffic. We get followers in a short time of span that too from the same niche as of ours. Whereas i find very difficult to get likes in facebook. People didnt like page easily. So G+ is far more good than Facebook.

    I use Google + to link to my website (in a non spammy way, only good content), as It appears Google gives linking from Google + to your own website more weight than any other social media now. So if you are promoting a website and running an SEO campaign, it's pretty important.

    I find it interesting that so many people talk about how G+ drives more traffic their direction when I am far more active in Google+, but I still get more than twice the traffic to my website from FB. I am not even very active in FB. I wonder what makes the difference? One thing I have noticed is that the people in my G+ groups tend to stay in the groups and comment while in the group, but don't necessarily go to the actual website. Very frustrating.

    I've found the same thing as @kelbo. I'm much more active on Google+, and Facebook I use on occasions. However, the posts I do share on Facebook almost triple the traffic than what I get from Google+. Obviously, I need to shift my focus to Facebook, but it still surprises me to see such a disparity.

    However, this debate may be irrelevant soon since there are rumors of Google killing Google+ (though, Google denies these claims).

    You can filter and organize your Gmail with Google+ Circles and gain good traffic from G+. You can also create a Local Page for Google+, put your business on the map: Google Maps. Add your business address to the page to appear on neighborhood search results, thereby increasing your reach to potential customers.

    Excellent. Thanks for the educational interjection there, Bradley. We have begun to focus more on our G+ presence and have seen much impact in our analytic reports. However, our sweepstakes, giveaways/likes, comments come from our Facebook posts in far greater numbers. Same posts to all the various sites and accounts we have set up for different products and company divisions. There is quite a bit of activity in the Affiliate Marketing sector on G+ versus FB. But, it seems Twitter is somewhat of a domain all its own. They are all very effective tools for marketing your brand.

    Thanks for the lively discussion!
