Google+ Now Shows Total Page View Counts To Users

Google+ has added number of page views to users along with their profile. You can now see how many views a profile’s posts and pictures have received. The number is visible in the header of the profile, right next to the number of followers

“Ever wonder how many times your shared Google+ content has been seen? Starting today you’ll see a new number on your Google+ profile or page: total content views”, posted Eddie Kessler in a Google+ post. This new number is the sum of all of the views of the user’s profile, posts and photos since October 2012.

Eddie however stated that the views are not updated in real time and they might not be that accurate as they will keep on changing as per views. I checked my views on Google+ was surprised to see a total of 14,474 views. Google has provided the option to hide your view count, meaning your total views will not be visible to friends or public. Users who do not want to display their total view counts can disable the feature in under Google+ account setting.

The small update may not be of much help to users, however it is an interesting way for brands to see how their content has reached others. Also, this will give a broad picture about user engagement on this platform which has been facing a tough competition from Facebook and Twitter.
