When we
launched Google+ pages
in November, we also
released Google+ badges
to promote your Google+ presence right on your site. Starting today in
developer preview
(and soon available to all your users), we're adding more options for integrating the Google+
badge into your website. You can
configure a badge
with a width that fits your site design and choose a version that works better on darker sites.
You'll also see that Google+ badges now include the unified +1 and circle count that we added to
Pages
last month.
If you're still considering whether to add a Google+ badge on your website, consider this: We
recently looked at top sites using the badge and found that, on average, the badge accounted for
an additional 38% of followers. When you add the badge visitors to your website can discover your
Google+ page and connect in a variety of ways: they can follow your Google+ page, +1 your site,
share your site with their circles, see which of their friends have +1'd your site, and click
through to visit your Google+ page.
The Google+ Badge makes it easy for your fans to find and follow you on Google+. With these
additional options, we hope it's even easier to
create a badge
that fits your website.
