Google Friend Connect

You may notice the Google Friend Connect toolbar at the bottom of this site. It was an impulse thing really. To be honest I've seen a drop in traffic since I moved over to my own domain. I think I lost a bit of Google Page Rank and Alexa Rank. As well as any juice from any backlinks I had on the previous blogger subdomain.

It was well over a year old. I think I might run an experiment and switch back to the subdomain for a bit and see what happens. I might try and flip this domain I'm using now or see if I can in the future. I know someone that does it. Turn a PR0 into a PR7 and sell it for thousands. Crazy.

Anyway I've got a few connects but I don't really use Google chat. I'm still an MSN veteran for IM. So this is an experiment and I'd love to hear any feedback about me using it. I want to make this site as social as possible so if it helps more people to connect I guess it's a good thing.

You can leave and reply to comments on the toolbar, share and invite your friends to connect. Browse members and add them as friends. I've been visiting some of your blogs and I have to say I'm really greateful for having some of the followers I do.

So what do you think? Keep it Loose it? Do you use it?

I have no idea how any of that works, really. I use Facebook to get members. You might try that.

Thanks Sadie I mean you only confirm my fears that only select few people actually use Google friend connect.
I already connect on Facebook with a few groups and pages to hundreds of people. Already tapped that lol just experimenting with this also.
