How Do You Use Google Friend Connect and Build Your Website's Community?

Google started to surprise me since the day they came with Google Talk. Then Google came with another service for people to use free to publish websites. I do not mean Blogger here, but the Google websites, where people could build WebPages, drive traffic to their networks and share this multibillionaires industry.

All this seems interesting and extremely wonderful. However, the question will not reach the unpredictable horizon Google intends to build for the coming centuries.

Google comes up with its new society, Google Friend Connect, and share it with webmasters to build online communities for their websites. For example, I am able now to build a community for my website the Ezine Act called the Ezine Act's Community or the Ezine Act's Google Integrated Community.

Seemingly, Google Friend Connect is a partners-in-success program that could make many communities prosper in some convenient places online.

If you are a website owner, a webmaster or a just a new person to this online profession, you may need to keep on reading this article. The following information about the benefits, the implementation and the building process of your website' community will help you get started.

How Do You Build a Google Friend Connect on Your website? 

Simple! To do this, you need a Google account. Then you should start at http://www.google.com/friendconnect Click on Set up a new site. It is very important to say that will use this same button for each site you own and you want to build it a community.

When you signup/in to Google Friend Connect, enter the name of your website and the URL to that site and continue. You will find two buttons on the next page names rpc_relay.html and canvas.html to download to your computer. When you download those files, upload them to your website. You should work on two browser windows to get to Google Friend Connect again to verify your website.

The files will be located at yourdomain.com/rpc_relay.html and yourdomain.com/canvas.html. You may think those files are blank. To just view them try to convert them into WordPad documents. You will then read the HTML TAGS there and you could even amend any broken tag. However, you need this step to know only what they contain.

When you download and upload the files, you will need to continue to test your setup and finalize this process for Google Friends Connect to verify your website and accept it if you installed the two HTML files correct.

Some people are experiencing some problems with those two files. Read at the bottom of this article how to solve or escape such problems.

What Are the Benefits of Using Google Friend Connect? 

You will power your site's community by using Google Friend Connect. When you build a website's community using Google Friend Connect that means you will engage more people deeply with each other on your website. That means building traffic and business.

You will enrich your website at the same time by choosing social features from a catalogue of gadgets and the OpenSocial developer community. You will attract more visitors when visitors invite friends from social networks and contact lists to visit your website and join your website's community.

What Will Happen, When a Person Signup into Your Website's Community Using Google Friend Connect? 

Google will create a page for your website providing headed lines to identify your website to enable the new member to participate in your website's community. Your interested visitor will read on that page as example, Ezine Act - Ezine Act uses Google Friend Connect to power our site's community.

This line will be followed by three different accounts from web services like Google, Yahoo, AIM, OpenID for the visitor to use the account s/he wants to log in to your community if s/he has account with those web services. If not, the visitor should click on a link just below those buttons to create a new Google account.

Google provides Terms, Privacy and Help, the user should read to abide by them and find help if s/he stuck at any point.

How Do You Fix Some Problems When Using Google Friend Connect? 

Your server may need a title, html, body tags to accept the files. I tested the files the first time and I found them blank so I did the following: I built two html files and added the tags required to each file to succeed in uploading them to the server. They are now in my website building tools and I can reedit them, remove them and do lot of things with them.

The problem was not there.

It was when I got back to Google to verify that the files are located into my web server. After the test Google says, we could not find the files etc... The files are there, so there shouldn't be a problem. However, this kind of a problem could happen to anyone. Unless you are a programmer or you know HTML, you should work carefully to solve any problem like this. Request a help from some qualified webmasters you know.

You may also take the example of the HTML tags below to build the files if there is something broken.

(< html >
< head >
< title >< /title >
< /head >
< body >
< /body >
< /html >) Just remove the spaces you see here on these tags.

You will see the HTML in the rpc_relay.html file when you convert it to WordPad like this (< html >< head >)and then the JavaScript type which connected to the rpc_relay.js and the close of the html, head and script. This could make problems as there are tags missing comparing these tags here with the tags above.

I am really excited about Google Friend Connect.

The most exciting part is that we all have the opportunity
to turn our blogs into Social Networks. Now each one of
us can have a community built around us.

Google Friend Connect is a real game changer.
