Tip of the day for Google+ users: make a circle called ‘My Bookmarks’, and put only yourself in it.

When you come across something on the web you want to check out later, share it to there. You’ll have a search-able, chronological list of cool stuff waiting for you.

Cool uh?

With all this Social bombing that we’ve had in the last weeks with Google +1 and Google +, I would like to talk about reporting and tracking of all this.
Here are the new reporting capabilities that are now available.
Nothing feels quite real until you can measure it…

Google Webmaster Tools
Show you how the +1 button affects the traffic coming to your pages:
- How +1‘s affect your organic search traffic, CTR changes when personalized recommendations help your content stand out
- How many times your pages have been +1’d, from buttons both on your site and on other pages (such as Google search)
- Aggregate geographic and demographic information about the Google users who’ve +1’d your pages

Social Plugin Tracking in Google Analytics
Shows how users share your content using other buttons besides +1 (i.e. Like, Twitter):
- Behavior changes for visits that include clicks on +1 buttons or other social actions
- Track the number of social actions (+1 clicks, Tweets, etc) taken on your site, all in one place
- Compare the pages on your site to see which are driving the highest the number of social actions

A great tool I discovered today is Gplus.to.
I’m lucky to enjoy Google+ soon enough as to be able to choose my nickname without having availability problems!
If you’re in the same situation… choose your nick wisely since you won’t be able to have a lot of freedom in the future.
And… to share it in your signature, blog, emails, business cards simply go to Gplus.to and get your link!
