Anyone dabbling with the Plus One code on their sites and tracking through Google Webmaster tools will be do doubt analyzing their stats.

(If you're not familiar with google webmaster tools - google it and set it up, it's painless, free and offers you a wealth of info about your site and any issues).

If you haven't noticed the +1 metrics options, go and check it out now!

The bottom tab says audience, and here it will show the number of unique users who have +1'd your pages.

Then apparently it will then show more data, but we just get the message:
"Your site doesn't have enough +1's yet to show characteristics."

We have 373 (as of 19/09/11) so the question is, how many do you need?

How's anyone else doing? Google'ing the question seems to come to a dead end so guess it's a case of waiting for someone to shout up.

My money is on 500 +1's so feel free to give us a helping hand, and I'll report back if anything happens!

(scroll half way down our home page, or visit any listing Operation Plus 1!)

Anybody else got any insights or has 500+ plus 1's? Or is it all just a clever marketing trick to get us to use the +1 button

“Did the last post mean classified ads on google? Can you do that?”

I'm assuming he means adwords, and not sure of the relevance to google places.
Morning Brad

I'm afraid arriving on a forum and asking for detailed feedback on your first post may not get the best response, as no doubt once you have your info we won't see you again

But feel free to prove us wrong

IMHO the packages, certainly 2 and 3 seem a bit over the top. I doubt the average small business would spend very much on a sophisticated mobile strategy, maybe preferring a straightforward cross platform mobile site, which the owners current developer should be able to do, or things like wordpress will let you do it for free, and maybe a relatively simple low cost app.

Lets see what anyone else thinks?
Blimey very visual and sobering!

The digital camera has to be one of the best inventions in recent history. I'm sure I've got some form of autism as I have to keep all of our family pics in nice date ordered folders with little descriptions But we now have literally tens of thousands of pics, now times that by the rest of the population!

Plus Facebook is such a good way to show off a few pics to people who know you, with out boring them with your 1500 holiday snaps

Will certainly make family genealogy a lot easier in years to come!

“That was a rather handy anchor text rich backlink Kevin Well played...”

Pretty sure young Kevin has no association with said company, and still happy to recommend site24x7.com has been working a treat
Found a superb article talking about the modern craze for trying to get thousands of friends and followers on Social Networking sites. Better to have a few quality followers who actively support you, rather than 100's that ignore you.

In other words SMM (Social Media Marketing) is following the same pattern as SEO link building. Think quality not quantity!

Love this quote: "If I really have 400 friends on Facebook, where are they on moving day?"

Regardless if your religious or not, it's a great title for an article and food for thought.

What a great turn around for Jaguar Landrover!

Maybe the sale to India's Tata Motors was the best thing that ever happened!

"Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) is to create up to 750 jobs at a new factory on a site near Wolverhampton, the firm says.
