Google Friend Connect – Attract Traffic To Your Site

Posted by on May 13, 2008 | 6 Comments

Google has another offering called Friend Connect which is currently in beta testing. Google touts Friend Connect as a way to attract traffic to your site and allows interaction by some of the most popular social networks. Google states:

Google Friend Connect lets you grow traffic by easily adding social features to your website. With just a few snippets of code, you get more people engaging more deeply with your site.

Attract more visitors. Visitors bring along friends from social networks like Facebook, orkut, and others to interact on your site.

Enrich your site with social features. Choose engaging social features from a catalog of gadgets provided by Google and the OpenSocial developer community.

No programming whatsoever. Just copy and paste snippets of code into your site, and Google Friend Connect does the rest.

Take a look and see what you think.

Comments welcome.

    Fantastic tips.

    I’m in it to connect with interesting people, find potential readers for my blog, and determine the market value of my personal brand as a 6 week old newbie blogger from India. So I invest (1) in new arrivals from India (tip from (e)DominoOracle) and started a new personal community “INDIA” (idea suggested by (e) Absys, (2) post thank you shout-outs immediately and reciprocate appropriately within my budget to investments from most, esp active newbies and friendly helpful welcoming “seniors” aka the big shots (3) hang out at Team Zen and the [x] bar as well as non-spammy chat boxes to gather and share tips
