How to Request a Google+ (Plus) Invitation
Yesterday, Google publicly announced its new social network, Google Plus, and it is already in testing for a select few. As is usual with Google, the product is in “beta” status and invites are limited. If you want to get in on the testing and gain some bragging rights with your friends, you’ll need one of those coveted invites. Although requesting an invite isn’t exactly rocket science, people have been encountering errors when using the sign-up tool. If you follow our guide below, you shouldn’t have any problems.
Update: Google has closed Closing Comments – Google updated the invite system. If you need an invite, read this new groovypost
Step 1 – Sign in to your Google Account
Use your favorite web browser (Chrome seems least likely to cause errors) to visit google.com and login to your Google account using the new Sign in button at the top-right google bar (as I’m starting to call it).
Step 2
Visit the Google Plus page to request the invite. Enter your first name and email, and then Click Keep Me Posted.
Tip: Be careful not to also enter your last name accidentally, which may cause the system to reject your request.
Done!
If everything went through you’ll see a page displayed like the one below saying “Thank you. To get more information…” etc. Now all you have to do is wait for Google to send you an invite. It won’t be as quick as receiving a personal invite from a Google Employee, but it’s your best shot unless you have an internal connection.
Should you encounter an error, clear your browser cache and then repeat the above steps.

Invites temporarily suspended, as posted by Googler Vic Gundotra.
“We’ve shut down invite mechanism for the night. Insane demand. We need to do this carefully, and in a controlled way. Thank you all for your interest!
For any who wish to leave, please remember you can always exit and take your data with you by using Google Takeout.
It’s your data, your relationships, your identity.

It sound like a awful lot to do for a free invite. Wouldn’t like me to do your laundry too.
Why not giving them for free without something to do in return, I will give you an email to spam if you want.

If you already have a gmail account its much easier, you don’t even need an invite, i managed to get on to google + from twitter, i clicked a link on one of the pages i was following and ended up on their google + profile, as i was already logged in i automatically was given a profile? I simply clicked on the right hand corner where my email address is displayed, then clicked profile from the drop down menu and from there i have been starting to edit my profile.
the link i used is below…
