The latest article on  ‘Marketing Land’ is titled “Now Google+ Shows Your How Many Times Your Profile, Content Has Been Viewed”.

Martin Beck says, “For those of you following at home, the social media metrics scorecard has another entry. Google Plus has added the number of views you or your page have generated on the network.

Google made no splashy announcement about the change. The help page merely explains that “you now can tell how many times your content has been seen by other people, including your photos, posts, and profile page.” Googler Eddie Kessler added in a G+ post that the number is a sum of views since October 2012 (Google’s “social layer” launched in beta in June 2011). The page also notes that view counts “may not be exact, and they may not be updated in real time.”

However inexact, displaying the metric is clearly part of an effort to emphasize activity on the network“.
