Google Friend Connect is a gadget that you can add to your blog or website that instantly gives you the ability to grow a thriving, interactive community that will:
- Encourage community interaction and engagement
- Attract more followers
- Add the crucial element of ‘social proof’ to your blog
- Get you free traffic to your site when members network with others in Friendconnect who have not yet visited your blog
I’ve prepared a video for you down below where I walk you through the process of installing Google Friendconnect on your blog:

I just added friend connect to by blog. Why do some friend connects say join (like mine), but the majority say follow?
Is there a difference?

Not sure Gina! I wouldn’t worry about it

That’s odd, it was way easier for me. Google generated link code that I simply embedded in my widgets bar on my site. Did I do it wrong? It’s showing up! Of course, it’s a little lonely, I’m the only one on it…y’all are welcome to head on over and connect if you like. The more the merrier!

Yeah Suxie, now Google allows you to simply copy and paste the code in your widget section, so right now it’s easier!
However, if you have a Blog FTP is def. something you wanna know how to use

This is an interesting tool because I have always ignored the google friend connect on any blog. You do have over 1100 people joined to yours.
Now I need to reconsider adding this tool.

Thanks for this post Katie! I have been trying to figure this particular blog feature out for a minute. Very timely! I know this is a great tool for “social proof”, but in the beginning when you don’t have hundreds of members should you still implement it?
