My question stems from the fact that there was a conscious decision to give out invites to people producing content (Bloggers/Photographers/etc.) and there could've been some cajoling (monetary or otherwise) in some cases to get them over to a new product. Scoble and Trey Radcliffe (just two examples I know of) attracted huge amounts of traffic to Google+, a lot more after the public launch.
G+ as a new product was under pressure to attract traffic/users as it could've possibly impacted employee morale. Also this is something other companies could learn from.
