Hey guys,

I just added the new Google+ "+1" button to my webpage. It is supposed to show up right below the searchbox in the navbar on the right.

Template: generic

index.php

<head>

Code:

<body>

Code:

<g:plusone size="medium"></g:plusone>

(Without using droplet or anything)
This works fine.

My problem is:
The button is in the searchbar/rightnavbar, which means it shows up no matter on what subpage you are ("Home", "News", "Pictures" -> the button is always on the right).
On giving "+1" while being on my "Home" page, the +1 is only counted for this subpage. On all the other pages (News, Pictures) the button still shows "0" +1s.
I would like this stupid button to counts all the +1s clicked in the navbar "together", not seperating them in +1 (Pictures), +1 (Home) and so on.
In other words: Visitors should only be able to give +1 for the whole website, no matter where they click+1, it shall only be counted for www.mydomain.de not for domian.de/x or domain.de/y.

I hope you guys understand my problem. Looking forward to any help! =)

This is not how +1 works.

You will see the +1 at all individual google seach results too.. It is meant for individual pages, not for sites.

It is very annoying tho... im using an url redirection... paying for www.mydomain.de and redirecting it to mydomain.bplaced.ne t. But now half of my visitors gives "+1" to mydomain.de and the other half to mydomain.bplaced.ne t. Thus, i only get half of the actual amount of +1s. for my webpage. =/

Any idea what I can do about it apart from changing my hoster?

It is possible to give a specific url with the button

Quote

href URL to +1 URL of current page We recommend using this tag when you have a +1 button next to an item description for another page and want the button to +1 that other page.

have a look

I already tried working with href attribute:

<body>

Code:

<g:plusone size="medium" href="http://www.mydomain.de"></g:plusone>

Yet it seems not to work properly at all. It already makes a difference if I "+1" www.mydomain.de or just mydomain.de or mydomain.bplaced.ne t or www.mydomain.bplace d.net not even speaking about additional pages /x. Now I don't know if this +1 system is "good" for bigger websites, but at the moment I am thinking about not using this button at all since the results shown are not the "actual" results and more bothering than helpful.

I guess i'll have to stick with the good old facebook "like"...

This brings up another interesting question:

Should I add "href="http://www.myhomepage.com" in the Google+1 button for all sub pages, or leave it off so each sub page like www.myhomepage.com/pages/whatever.php will receive individual clicks?

Advantage of counting all contributing +1 clicks to the home page: a higher +1 count in shorter time

Disadvantage: If the same user clicks again on another sub page, his +1 click will be subtracted vom the count sad

Any suggestions which one's the better approach?
