		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s well over a month in, and the web is still buzzing with content about Google Plus. Fascination of early adopters, most with their own blogs, has produced pages of ideas, experiments and reviews of the social network. We know that G+ is having some type of effect on our other web properties, but it&#8217;s still to early to say just what that will mean a year from now. For me, plus.google.com is now in my top five referral URL&#8217;s and a few of the posts I&#8217;ve written about Sparks and Hangouts have become some of my most popular posts in terms of traffic. What&#8217;s interesting is that in the month of July, the URL&#8217;s Google.com and plus.google.com have accounted for 28.28% of my referral traffic traffic. I&#8217;m comparing that to the 30.13% of my traffic that&#8217;s been referred from Twitter.com, Facebook.com and Hootsuite.com combined. All three of those referring URL&#8217;s have reigned supreme in my Google Analytics for the last two years. So what does that tell me then? Any way you look at it, I spend way to much time on social networks. One company now owns roughly the same amount of traffic referrals as three separate competitors. I&#8217;m spending about 1/4 the amount of time distributing content on Google Plus, and getting nearly equal traffic referrals to my blog. Everyone and their brother is still searching for information on Google Plus. The nature of my content makes sense for what I perceive the G+ crowd to be &#8212; mostly business folks, early adopters and other regular social media users. Plusers, as were now being called by some, are the folks who would tend to read my blog regularly. While I wonder if that same type of attention would be had around non-business related topic areas, it&#8217;s pretty apparent that using Google Plus as a distribution network makes [...]]]></description>
