Google has enabled the integration of all kinds of so-called badges for your website or blog, with which it will be even easier for your friends to follow you on your Google social network.

Creating a badge

To create a badge for your Google + site, visit the link create a google plus badge and enter the URL of your Google + pages. After this, you will be able to see an appearance of your badge, which can be changed and choosen among the different badges and icons.

After selecting the desired icon, a program code will appear at the bottom, which consists of two parts, which need to be implemented in your site. The first piece of code must be inserted within the scope of your PHP or HTML document (depending on the content management system), while the second part of the code, goes up in an area where you would like your Google + tag to occur.

Words from Google

Today, we officially begin our roll out of that badge by making it available to our Google+ platform preview group. To get the badge, sign up for the group and then visit our configuration tool and choose the badge size that's best for your site. If you're in the group, you may also begin to encounter the badge as you browse around the web.

By using the Google+ badge to connect your website to your Google+ page, you:

• make it easy for your audience to subscribe to your posts and endorse and share your site.
• get more personal recommendations around the web, by connecting +1's for your website with +1's on your Google+ page.
qualify for Google+ Direct Connect, which lets people type +your_site_name on Google search and automatically start following your page.
