I Love Google Plus!

If you're a webmaster who typically posts original and creative content on your website, you should think about the Google Plus button. Blogging is a great way to earn potential visitors to your website. Most) of us {already implement social media buttons such as Twitter. Social Media is beneficial to visitors in search for unique content.

It was not until this year, June of 2011 that Google proclaimed they would release this superior soon to be widget that could be embedded across millions of blogs in just a matter of time. Currently Google Plus is only for those who are invited. The Plus project is kept unknown at this time. The Plus developers won't announce any future plans. Those who are in the community already many of the features provided, including: Circles, Groups, Video Chats and much, much more.

If you are a webmaster now is the perfect time to add the plus button to your blog. Google Plus will provide many SEO friendly benefit as social media continues to expand. For example, when a friend searches a certain keyword, their search result will show at the top of the page. This eventually will help your sites performance and rankings.

As blogs start to discuss Google Plus more and more plugins will become available. The idea behind this handy little social site is to start a base range of users who share similar interests, eventually making the web a better place to find content that just about everybody will dig.

I myself have been posting for quite a sometime now. Personally I have discovered that Social Media is the hottest option to share and link information between family and networks. Meantime Google Plus is only in testing there are many more features to become available. Facebook and Twitter have came a long ways since they were first created. Those bloggers who have taken advantage of social networking and media tips have made a very successful outcome.

As a part-time blogger I have found too that Google Plus has increasingly changed one blog at a time. You as well can take advantage of the SEO benefits Google Plus will soon offer.

Life Is Good

Hello blog. This post is probably going to be pretty long, but trust me it's worth reading. I just got back from SLC, and I was surprised to see my friend Ryan's earnings at nearly 15$... It was just a week and a half or so ago we started working on his site, it's amazing how much progress we have made together. I know that sometime this year we will finally get to move out and get an apartment, but aside from that let me tell you a little bit about myself.

My name is Chris, Chris Groves if you prefer. I guess everyone has something they are good at, perhaps art, math or something else, I happen to be very gifted with computers, especially for someone who is just out of high school, of course I plan on going to college, I want that higher education, even if I end up doing the same thing I am now. Anyways, todays world is very difficult to find a job, heck I applied at several places including Overstock and a few other helpdesks jobs, still no luck... You see that's why I am here today,I never gave up, instead I decided I would try my luck online, and well it is starting to pay off. It wasn't too long after from when I returned from my FBLA and Skills USA trips, unfortunately we had no success at FBLA (Levi didn't exactly pull his weight). And Skills USA didn't grade all of my projects I completed or else Im sure I would have placed 2nd or 3rd. Anyways just for the fact that I attended Skills USA and FBLA nationally will get me college at SLCC (according to Mr. Grover).

Most kids start college right after school, but these days college doesn't even guarantee you a better job, yeah life is tough. Instead I decided to pursue an interest online, in fact I created my first website acmfiles in 2007, of course I never planned on making any money from it. It wasn't until this year 2010, I decided to risk everything online, I gave up looking for a job, instead I sat online for a few weeks straight reading forums and doing tons of research on Internet Marketing, it's a bit confusing to take in all at once, but I think now I understand quite a bit, especially for someone who has taught themselves.

About a month and a half later Ryan my friend asked if he could help, I invited him to write some articles - which he did do a few here and there. He mostly was helping his dad at the time, anyways I continued on... Still having hope. Finally another few months passed, he asked me what I was up to, I said... Well just working, then he started to get a little more interested. We talked about him creating his own website, and well it wasn't too long after I came down to his house and we set everything up. Now it's only been a week and a half or so and we have seen major progress, I think the progress is definitely due to having some background knowledge... 2nd time around is easier they say!

I just got to thinking though how much life would suck without any friends, it's nice to have someone who wants to follow you, and I mean that in a good way! Im glad Im not in this alone - frankly it would be kind of boring, and I am glad Ryan chose to work with me, I mean yeah sure there is Michael and Taylor... But sometimes I just don't know about them.... I know Ryan and I will be friends for a very long time, and well this year is going to be great, and I'm sure he agrees... I remember the first day we became friends, it was just freshman year, we usually made jokes about a kid named Bristol, which looking back seems pretty mean, but I can't deny the facts. Anyways we went to the writing lab and we both made Gmail accounts, I got his and he got mine then basically from there we started emailing eachother random stuff... Well and here we are today, pretty much best friends!

Just Hanging Out In Grantsville

I don't really hang out too much in what they call "g-ville" but I must say Grantsville isn't that bad of a place. I'm over at my friends Ryan's house right now, we just got done working for the day, I must say we both really enjoy what we are ding and we have put forth full dedication and determination of what we do.

It was just a week ago when we launched his site, to date I have wrote over 335 articles (give or take). I do a ton of writing, some days I write well over 10,000 words which is the equivalent to a 10 page report double-sided size 12 font. You know at the Grantsville Cowboys say "Hard Work Pays Off".

Today I got a message from one of my old teachers Michael Campbell, he is setting up a Moodle server, I am glad I could be of assistant to help him. The very first class I took with him was during my sophomore year, I was pursuing interest web design back then as well creating what many GHS students know as acmfiles.co.nr.

Anyways, I am the type of person that enjoys figuring things out, I believe if I push myself hard enough there is nothing I can't solve, problem solving is a crucial part of technology and more specifically so dealing with computers, networking and what not.

Things are looking good so far, so let's just sum up this post by saying.... Heck yeah 2010 is almost over and 2011 is going to bring a new future!

I Gotta Feeling That Today Is Going To Be A Good One.

I'm sure most of you have heard that popular song "I Gotta Feeling" by the Black Eyed Peas, well I sort of feel like that today. Ughh, I just woke up and it's 10:35 AM, I have a headache and I still feel like crap, but other than that I just have a feeling that today is going to be great!

It's kind of funny when you wake up login to MSN and just a few seconds later your best friend gets online. First thing Ryan says to me "holy cow haha!" Okay so maybe it wasn't the very first words he said but it was still funny.

I usually do a few things when I wake up, check my email and the statistics on my website and blog (not this blog). Anyways, after doing that I decided to come here and make a post, kudos! I know good for me, right? It's funny because I have yet to make my bed or even bother to shower yet, but don't worry I'm getting to it. :)

Later I'm probably going to go to Grantsville to work on some stuff with Ryan, we have a lot of planning to do, keyword research etc... It takes a lot of planning to decide what to write articles on, but don't worry we'll figure it out, we are both the type of people that can learn just about anything on our own, if I want to learn how to do something I figure it out, why bother with being taught when you can teach yourself?

Anyways I'm going to wrap this post up, short and sweet eh? As promised here is the Black Eyed Peas Song "I Gotta Feeling". I'm off to take a shower! See ya World.

Ehh, I am using Blogger

I actually created this blog a few months ago during school, I never intended to use it for anything extraordinary, but seeing this is my first post I figured I might as well start somewhere. First off Blogger is not my cup of tea, I prefer Wordpress for blogging, but what can I say I already had this blogspot setup so I figured I might as well use it. Wordpress also has a serviced where you can create blogs, anyways I think I'll just give blogger a try!

I just need to decide what I should post on this blog, I guess I'll just post happenings and what not, nothing big here (ughh... I don't know what to say, it's past my bedtime and I'm forcing myself to type up a slump of words). I figure here I can post anything new in my life, so if you're a stalker I can imagine you'll be back here everyday, either that or you just think my life is amazing, one of the two. Occasionally I'll post a few tutorials here and there, maybe for Photoshop, networking or some other random computer lingo and all that jazz.

I guess I'll sum things up in this paragraph, I'll talk a bit more about me as I progress in making new posts, you can sort of think of this as a test post... Hello World, you know that kind of deal. Well that's about it, hello blogger and hello friends who want to read my little posts, don't worry there will be plenty of funny stories to come... Just you wait and see.
