Google Plus Flat Out Doubled My Traffic Overnight!
Google Plus Traffic!
Guys I don't know what to think. I wrote a post the other day talking about how Google Plus increased my firends rob website visitors from 700 to 2000 overnight. After writing that post, I decided to put full effort into this whole Google Plus thing.
I really am speechless with the experiment I just conducted. Guys you heard it here first. I'm not feeding you any fluff or hype. I didn't come out the other night and say that I had doubled my traffic. I was honest with you and said that my friend Rob had this increase. I wouldn't lie to you about it.
However, I am happy to report that overnight, I had the same exact results Rob did. You really can expect the results that I am talking about.
So what exactly did I do? Was it hard? No not at all, I'm going to walk you through the steps I did. I'm even going to share some really cool resources that I created myself to help increase your Google Traffic Profile and followers.
However, before I want to do, I want to show you what Google Plus has done for me overnight:
Google Plus Results
Now guys, here's what you need to realize. I've got about 3,000 keywords ranking in Google. Some of them are very competitive words and are in the top position. As you can see the traffic from Google Plus flat out smoked my organic traffic from Google. I'm starting to see how Rob made that jump overnight. You just saw me do the same exact thing.
I spend thousands of dollars every month in SEO tools, outsourcers, and various backlinking services. Guys, I'm starting to understand just how powerful this Google Plus can be for your website.
Lets take a look at what I did to increase my Google Plus traffic and see if you can have the same results. I tend to think you can, if you just listen to what I am saying and take action.
Before We Do I Almost Forgot To Tell You, I Just Had My Highest Adsesne Day Ever! All Contributed to Google Plus
Guys, I keep these numbers close to my heart. However I can tell you that I just had my biggest earnings ever on Adsense. Something I have been struggling to surpass. Google Plus through me over my threshold.
Adsense Increasing with Google Plus
Guys, this is no BS. This stuff really happened for me overnight. I think we can get you the same results. So lets take a closer look
Where is my Google Plus Traffic Coming From?
Now I'm not exactly sure where the increase is coming from. I have two theories. It either is coming from my plus one links that are in my profile you can see this below:
Google Plus One Links
Alright, so do you see all those links? Those are from people clicking that +1 Icon that you see all over my pages and posts. So there is a tab that lists all your +1 links, and you can see that above.
My Second Theory for Google Plus Traffic is my Posts:
Ok, so here is my second theory. I went and posted about 3 posts that are linked to my blog the other day. These posts are available to my circle members. That's the cool thing with Google Plus. If I want just certain circles to see it, then I can do that. If I have a circle that is just family members, well they don't need to see what I am doing in twitter.
Here is a screen shot of my Google Plus posts in action:
Google Plus Posts
Ok so now that we have identified the Google Plus traffic sources, let's get you going in the same direction.
Step #1 Start Adding Other Google Plus Members to you Circle
Here is what I did. I just did a search for other members that I knew in my niche. I added them to my circle. Then I went and looked all the people they were following or people that were following them. I added all those people. All together in about an hours time I added 645 people to my Circle, that I called Internet Marketing. You can create as many circles as you wish in Google Plus, and call it whatever you choose to do.
Within hours, people were following me back. Much like what you see in Twitter. But the end of the night I had over 100 people following me back. I now have about 245 people following me back.
However, I also created a cool little trick that I am going to show with you to increase you Twitter Followers. You see over on the right side of this page. See that image that says "Circle Me" Well that is linked to my Google Plus account. This makes it very easy for my readers to follow me on Google Plus.
All you need to do is load this image into your media library and apply the following code to your HTML widgets. Change the URL ref to your own website, as well as your Google Plus account and your good to go:
Step #2 - Start Posting Links to Your Site!
Guys, just like you do in your Twitter and Facebook. Do the same thing. Post your videos, quotes, articles, and most importantly links to your website. This is how you're going to get your traffic! It's a NO BRAINER!
Step #3 - Get People to +1 You Site
How are you going to do that? Yeah you don't have a lot of control. However, I've given you all the tools and resources you need below to encourage your viewers to take action. Now all you need to do is take action!
The Tools and Resources Below are going to change everything for you. I just ask that if you use them PLEASE do me a favor and +1 this post at the top or bottom of the page!

Hi Chad,
Thanks for the mini tutorial — it’s cool to see how results can be achieved so fast!
I like how you added tons of people to your circles, and many of them added you right back!
Perhaps the best time to be aggressive on G+ is right now, while it’s still blowing up.
Please follow up on any changes you see on G+. A lot of us are still trying to figure it out.
God bless,

Yes, I think google plus is future in Google SERP or SEO, cause if the people click on that G+1 button google collects info about those +1s and in some kind of algoritam way it put better ranked page in top.
I work for several Websites as an WebDesigner and IT logic and nowadays the quickliest way to boost it (besides content and keywords) could be buying natural drip of +1′s. In my reserach i find several sites that can help.
I tried them on my PR10 and PR6 websites and did they the trick …
1. htpp://IncreasePlus.com – they have daily and bulk drips – good and fast service – I used on my PR1 – PR7 websites and several professional websites
2. http://plussem.com/ – i used them for BULK on my PR10 – PR 15 websites to boost it immediatelly – but the daily ones are better.
Google plus will show in approx 6 months the real thing of its power, like facebook statuses are now all over the place.
I don’t think there has been a site in the history of the world that has grown as fast as Google Plus, and obviously that’s cause it’s associated with Google, but still, that’s pretty good.

Hello Chad
I’m David and I saw a comment you left at one on my WordPress sites Relentless Traffic. I appreciate you stopping by, I was curious how you found me?
You see Chad, at 56 years of age and on disability, I find myself with plenty of time, and not enough money to enjoy it! I guess you hear this sort of thing often.
Anyway, I began trying to learn how to use this computer one year ago, and although I have figured out how to build a fairly functional website, I still have been able to get this thing to spit quarters?
I am open to most all suggestions, I know its only been one year, but I am a fairly quick study, and I’m not getting any younger! Besides, I kinda like money, nothing abnormal, but I like having some extra financial security lying about! If you know what I mean.
I just put up two more sites Chad, but what the heck good are they if no body sees them?
My pages are pretty well optimized, I’m serious, but I know the lack of backlinks are killing me! I can just feel it, I guess I better find a good spinner and a submitter and get busy? I just hate cutting corners. If you get a chance Chad, check out this one page site I just put up, read the article and give me your honest opinion, I would really appreciate it, and I would respect your opinion!
Thanks,
David aka The Relentless1

Google+ is here to stay because it has some very interesting features which even the other top social networking sites lack. I liked how you added so many people to your circles, and how they so quickly responded and added you right back!
that’s funny. I had always written off google+ after using it for a week and then migrating back to facebook. This post was written in August. Are you still getting similar results or have the dropped off?
I agree with Brid. Do you still have the same results as of today? If it still have the same results then Google+ really is working for us. I always see that Google+ plus is really an exciting site with all of it’s features that is new to us. Anyway looking forward for your reply.

Hello Chad,
I was just reading your article about Google+ and your right on it buddy! I have been seeing the exact same thing.
My Traffic at the Relentless Traffic blog has seen a definite increase in volume since using Google+.
Thanks anyway for the heads up, good looking out Chad! Things are tough out here so any extra help should be much appreciated, it certainly is by me!
You take care, and do not forget about the new page layout algorithm that Google just implemented on Jan. 19th. 2012.
They are not joking with this new algorithm! When someone types in a search request, Google expects that page to show pertinent information immediately!
Not half way down the page, or on the next page, or anywhere else! They expect that information to be shown above the fold in plain sight, no banner ads, or graphics hogging up the page!
Excuse all the exclamation marks folks, but I just wanted to drive the point home, if you want your sites to show up on the first results page then you better give this a heads up!
If I type in Google Algorithm in my search bar and don’t see my site on Google’s first page I am going to be upset, especially after optimizing a page fairly well on that article. If it doesn’t show up then I know I am doing something wrong!
However, I have also noticed that Google’s algorithm goes through some sort of fluctuation throughout a twenty four hour period.
What I mean is this, my pages can be on Google’s front page all day long, and then in the evening they are on page two or three, and then back on page one again in the morning?
All I know is that this has been holding true for my site and some others that I have been closely watching for about a week and a half now.
You all take care now! Great work Chad.

I’m new to blogging and have had social media accounts. However, I have not really focused much on my social media. When Google+ came along I figured I’d have to start catching up. Thanks for your straight forward tips to adding traffic to my site with the use of Google+.
Are there any plugins that will auto post my blogs to Google+?
