April 11: Join Us For The Ultimate Party on Google+
Good morning everyone! Can you believe we are in the month of April and our great Google+ party is in its 5th week? We are growing steadily as more of you spread the word and share a post. Thank you! If you are new to this post and unsure about what this is, I’ll explain.
Every Friday we host The Ultimate Party on Google Plus – G+ Bloggers and G+ers join the fun. Each week, our G+ Circle grows as more members/attendees join in the fun. Currently, we have over 180 Circle members and we see it growing further. If you want to connect with social media gurus and fans and be seen, then Google+ is key to your engagement; it’s the place to be for hangouts,
parties and networking events.
Join us today. It is never too late to participate and share a few posts!
There is also a very important fact to remember about a Google+ party: Every time someone +1’s, comments, or shares your post, Google ranks that post higher. So come link up for The Ultimate Linky below! Then join in The Ultimate Party on Google+ and participate by using the hashtag #theultimateparty ! Are you joining us today? If not today, then book mark this post and join us every Friday – same time and place.
As we celebrate our second Google+ party in April, we have two new fabulous co-hosts to help us run things smoothly. Jennifer from Homeschooling Mom 4 Two and Paula from A Storyteller with a Camera are our co-hosts this month.
Our co-hosts help us with the+1’s, comments, and shares for each party, and we appreciate their contributions. If you’d like to be a co-host for May or any other month, please email Tammy@theultimatelinky(dot)com or contact us on The Ultimate Party page.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION TO KNOW
Our Party starts at 9:00am EST (Eastern Standard Time) and will wrap at 9:00PM. Let’s make this special day fun! Share your family-friendly posts and information that would be helpful to other bloggers and engage! Why Friday? We chose Fridays because studies have shown superior interaction on Google+ on Fridays from 11 a.m. – 2 pm and from 7-10 p.m. We pledge to work hard to interact with posts that link up with the hashtag #theultimateparty on Friday.
The linky (see it here) will remain open until 6:00 p.m EST. But do feel free to come back and comment and +1 on the posts until 9:00 pm. Please link up if you are going to party with us. We’ve created a Google+ circle
based off of the link-up; so if you want to gain more followers, linking up is crucial. We also have a Google+ page called The Ultimate Party where you can receive updates and share in the threads posted on that page if you circle us!
What Is a G+ Party? A G+ Party is a networking event to meet, connect with people and exchange +1s, and share G+ posts. G+ parties have one or more Hosts who organize and promote the party. Co-Hosts are often brought in to help.
Why do we hold a G+ party and on Fridays?
- G+ postings help with SEO optimization.
- It helps our posts get higher ranking in Google’s search engine.
- Friday is supposed to be the best time for interaction on G+,
specifically between 11a.m. – 2 p.m. and 7 – 10 p.m. We now leave the
linky open until 9 p.m. for our offline workers and West Coast bloggers.
Kim will hang out with you in the evening as many of your hosts live
in the EST/CST time zones and might not be available at that time. Please link up as early as possible so that you get the most interaction on your posts. - Joining and Sharing Our G+ Circle will help you gain more followers
on G+. (We’ll have a G+ circle that we share every week for those who
link up.) - Join the party to interact with and get to know other bloggers.
Most parties you follow people and never interact. Here you get to see
who has the same interests/niche as you do! - Our Party Rocks! Join Us

Ok, I’ve joined it, late as always, but I’m signed in. Mind you, I’m London UK time, so I’m not sure how that will work. You are a busy lady I know, but I still wonder whether you have looked at my book yet. It’s nice to think of you reading it, however time consuming that might be
Hi Peter,
Sorry about my silence… been sidelined by health matters and lots of other demands offline. Where do I get your book. I would gladly read it and support you. Again Congrats on the book!
If you are in America, which I think you are, you can get it through Amazon.com or Barnes & Noble I think. Certainly Amazon anyway. Launching a book is beyond difficult and daunting, so any help really welcome. More pertinently, I’m really sorry to hear about your health issues, and hope you are on the way back to full health or have already arrived there. People like you are missed when they are silent, because their voices cheer on so many others
I have google plus, but I am really unsure of how it works. Guess I am too late for this party anyway.
I’ll have to put this party on my calendar and check it out next Friday.
