Google+ Profiles/Pages

We’ve added a new Google+ Profile/Page “Add to Circles” system.  Google+ is google’s answer to Facebook.  People can add your page and your profile to their circles which are equivalent to “friends” and “likes”.

This new feature is in beta and may be very buggy.  Let us know if you experience any weirdness or issues.

Google +1′s removed

Google figured it out again.  +1′s seem to be dwindling away from many sites.  At least it lasted for a little while.  We will not be adding Google +1′s back again in the future.

Thanks to everyone who tested this feature out.

Now lets see if we can possibly get Tumblr support added.

Google +1′s are sticking!

A bit of good news!
So far so good on the Google +1′s.  The new system seems to be working.  We created the new system on August 1st and it’s now the 6th and we haven’t had any issues yet!

I personally added 2 sites and one has 351 +1′s and the other now has 301 +1′s both started on August 1st and have not dropped.

YouLikeHits Statistics Update!

A lot of people thought it was interesting to see the numbers behind YouLikeHits.  The last time I did this was July 19th and even since then we’ve grown bigger!  You can compare the numbers by checking out our older statistics blog post.

Twitter Followers: 975,781
Facebook Likes: 1,069,031
Google +1′s: 2,741 (new system only)
MySpace Friends: 24,065
YouTube Views: 592,959
Digg Followers: 30,339
StumbleUpon Followers: 15,717
Website Hits: 617,890

We also just updated the Buy Points page again!  Check it out.

Third times the charm?

We’re going to give Google +1 another shot.  This time with a different approach.

We’re pretty confident that this one will work a lot better however we will not be refunding Points this time around.  We’ve added a big red warning label stating that any Points spent will not be refunded in the event that +1′s start getting removed again by Google in the future.

If you’re a risk taker than feel free to invest Points in the new system which should be up very soon.

Update:  It’s up!  Try it out if you dare. ;)

Removal of Google +1

Well that didn’t last long.  I guess nobody can really outsmart Google.  They are the God of the internet.
We’ve removed Google +1 features because many users were noticing their +1′s getting removed again.  We did our best to create a system where that wouldn’t happen but Google figured out a way to prevent this system too.

We have refunded all the Points that you spent on +1′s minus the number of Points you received from +1′ing others pages.

If you purchased Points via PayPal or Google Checkout exclusively for our Google +1 feature please feel free to email us at webmaster@youlikehits.com for a refund.

Thanks so much for bearing with us and experimenting.  We’ve got a great community and we wouldn’t be able to offer our services if it weren’t for the such great community support.

Google +1 Issues

Some users are reporting that a significant amount of their +1′s gained from YouLikeHits are disappearing.  We’re monitoring the issues and we’re working on some fixes to make sure that it doesn’t continue.  We’ll be changing the way we handle +1′s to help make them less mass +1′d and appear more legit.  We’re going to use an external window instead of an inline frame for +1′s and we’re going to require users to wait a certain amount of seconds between each +1.

Google +1 back!

Google +1 is back now!
It’s setup a little bit different than before but should be easy enough for most people to setup.  It will not work with all types of sites but anyone who owns their own site should have no issue adding the required code to get started.

Google +1′s are coming back!

Google +1 Returns
We’ve figured out a way to add Google +1′s back to YouLikeHits.  This time we’re pretty confident that it’ll work out and the +1′s will not be removed.  We’re currently testing with a small number of users but we’re seeing success and will be opening it up to more and more users very soon.  Keep checking back to see if it’s been opened up for you!

Premium Price
We have lowered the premium price from 750 Points for 24 hours to 500 Points for 24 hours.

New Points Package
We added a new Points package to the “Buy Points” page.  You can now get 10,000 Points for $90!
