Online marketers and entrepreneurs like me and you can sometimes be like a bunch of starving, wild dogs; ferociously seeking out the next big thing when it comes to making cash online or to help us promote our business. And like a vast sack of soggy bibles thrown from an airplane, the next big thing has landed in front of us with a meaty ‘thud’ in the form of Google+ (plus, for those of you not adept at symbology).

While the rules of marketing on this new and ever-so-tasty social site are quite similar to what you’d do on say, Twitter or Facebook, there are some things you should keep in mind. So like a drunken homeless exhibitionist in Central Park, I’m going to quickly reveal to you some tips on how to make money on Google+ Plus.

And before you leave, make sure you enter your name and email address below to receive some of the more in-depth secrets to this tactic.

1. Remember, this isn’t Facebook.

The first thing you should keep in mind when starting your marketing on Google’s new social site is that this definitely shouldn’t be regarded as your new FB profile. The fact of the matter is that whereas the ‘Big F’ is mainly for social interactions and the like, on Plus you’ll have your personal and business contacts together (albeit in different ‘circles’ if you want them) so care must be taken not to send updates about the amazing distance that your newborn daughter’s latest milky projectile vomit traveled.

crowdeye logoUpon launch, Twitter was hailed for its ability to be used as a realtime search engine by gathering data regarding stories and events as they happened, not waiting several hours (or even days) for data like this to be collated. And the recent 220,000+ tweets per hour during the Iranian elections really showed what a system like this could do.

More and more companies now are focusing on how to better collate realtime data, including Google who are in talks to buy Twitter, many believing only for the realtime search abilities.

A new contender to this market is CrowdEye.com who laucnhed today and promise to be a strong contender in the market, though the company themselves admit they can only index a portion of all content, not everything in its entirety. This isn’t a shock however, as the site is only in its early days and will grow and expand as time goes on.

According to TechCrunch, Google is set to possibly purchase social media giant Twitter for a sum which could be in excess of $250 million. While reports are early, this news apparently comes from several credible sources which are all saying the same thing.

This comes after recent news of the attempted Facebook acquisition of the site for around half a billion, though it’s impossible to compare the two figures as Facebook’s deal included a whole swag of very overvalued stock. As Google’s bid would assumedly be cash-based, it would be worth much more on face value.

If the sale goes ahead it will be the second sale from the founders of Twitter to Google as the sale of Blogger went ahead only five years ago. Biz Stone and Evan Williams must have a mighty large smile on their faces right about now.

Whether it’s going ahead or not will only be told in the future, however it’s a good bet that someone will buy Twitter eventually. Our only question is, when will Microsoft put their bid in?
