Hi Justin,
Given that I’m at the point of starting a blog, it’s good to hear from a professional about other tools that might give that blog some extra Google juice.
I’m not sure why we’re all surprised when Google ranks sites that utilize other Google-based tools higher than those that don’t use them, but we always seem to be!
I’ve been working away on some affiliate sites for some time now, but I’m really starting to believe that maybe a blog in my personal interest niche would be a better long-term investment, especially give that over the last year we all learned that you can’t rely too much on Google for consistent traffic.
Hey Justin, indeed those are great plugins that will ensure some advantages in ranking. Now i’m curious if is this enough or content remain still the king.

Nice list of plug-ins, I agree with BuySellWordpress this could be also a big use for blogging.
Its more interactive and attractive.
Justin, do you know of a good “layman’s” tutorial about how to implement the code properly? I’ve actually given it a try on my own website, but I took it down because I wasn’t sure the best page for it. Should it always be the homepage? Thanks!

Are expecting the Google+1 to make a big market penetration? I still see mostly facebook stuff and I’m always using Google.
Am I supposed to install all the widgets or just one of them and choose the one I like best?
