Though Google+ is the newest of the big social networks, it has quickly become the second largest media platform after Facebook, boasting roughly 400 million active users. On the plus side, Google+ marketing offers handy features for business that other social media sites do not. Like it or not, Google+ marketing is a must-have element for any business online marketing strategy.

Great piece, Autumn, and I must say that I agree.

When Google+ first came out, I didn't really realize or understand the purpose of it and I didn't think that I would have any use for it.

However, I've come to the the realization that Google+ is much more appealing than FB. It does't have as much clutter and "noise" as FB does and it's much easier to manage my feed and connections. Plus, they don't have all those annoying ads... yet, I should say.

Thanks for sharing your insights and thanks to Sian for sharing your piece with our bizsugar community.

I agree with you, Google plus is really growing everyday and if care is not taking, it will end up being the number one social media site in the world. Thanks for sharing this with the bizsugar community.

If you listen to the latest podcast show, The Social Hour, with Amber Mac and Sarah Lane, you will learn that Google+ has only a few percent of the market share. "A new report from Gigya says that only two percent of social sharing happened on Google+"
