How fast to post content to Google+
-
If an established publisher gets started on Google+, is it better to post one or two things a day like a real person would, or is it okay to do a "data dump" and post a ton of articles at once?
Does it matter if the account is a brand or personal page?
Thanks.

Good question, especially now that Google+ is so important for the Search Plus your World.
First of all, brand or personal page. If we are talking about a business company, then I suggest you to use both. Take SEOmoz as an example. If you analyze it, SEOmoz use its brand page (as in Facebook and Twitter) in order to officially communicate things and dialogue with its circle of friends. But SEOmoz employees (i.e.: Jennita, Joanna Lord, Casey, Rand...) use their own account to promote stuff by SEOmoz.
Ah... remember to link your site and profile both with the rel="author" and "rel="business" tags (links here: https://developers.google.com/+/plugins/badge/config here and here.
If you are a freelance, like me... then you may try to start using your personal G+ profile (but create you "business" page anyway). Maybe in a second moment you can try to offer a more official presence to your business.
About how much content... I suggest you to not vomit content into your G+ pages. It's not the quantity of the things shared, but the quality... and the people you are able to engage into a discussion and into sharing your content that counts. I say this because these seems to be at the base of what we may call the "Google+ Edgerank".
And, finally, be active entering in dialogue with others and, if it is the case, citing your content if it is relevant to the discussion... remember, Google+ right now is composed mostly by a public like me and you, who sniff a spam attempt more fastly than any other in the world.
And, to conclude, my tip: be a curator. Don't share just content created by you, but also by others and cite the source. This way you may become considered as an authoritative source about your topic, you are noticed and circled by those ones you cite and may have new opportunity of outreach.

Google +1 Personal vs Business
A client asked me an interesting question. How do you +1 as your business page and not your personal account. Is this possible to do considering they are under the same login?

Why doesn't our product images show up in our Google Plus post?
When we post links to product pages onto our Google Plus account, the image never shows up in the post. Only the name of the product and our domain name appears. Has anyone experienced this problem or have ideas on how to fix? 8nCbk8A

Would you guest post on this website?
Hi, What do you think of this website for guest posting - www.forevergeek.com Now to me I would quite happily give up a guest post to this website, and the reason behind this would be... DA:63 PA:67 MR:5.6 MT:5.8 And lots of social sharing per post and to me this would be a perfect site to get some exposure on, looks ok as well. BUT the only thing which would put some doubt in my mind is the PR2, I would assume a site with DA:63 would have a PR4/5. What are your thoughts on this?

How do I use Google+ as a page?
A couple of weeks ago I created a Google+ page for my website and you can see the page here: https://plus.google.com/u/0/101532714567190382783/posts?hl=en I was logged in to my account when I did so. I'm now ready to start posting on my page and I cannot for the life of me figure out how. I've tried everything I can find to update that page as the page, but I cannot use Google+ as the page. I have no idea how to post anything. Please help!

How to get a link on Twitter box in Huffington Post?
Hey guys, got a question about the Huffington Post and its Twitter widget - see screenshot attached HuffPo seems to be aggregating links somehow under the "Top links on this topic" heading within the Twitter widget. At first I thought this was an official Twitter wdget; http://twitter.com/about/resources/widgets However, I can't find it on Twitter's site and I'm starting to think it's a custom widget possibly developed by HuffPo themselves. My question is how do I get my site to rank under their "Top links"? Is it feeding on Twitter presence or is it feeding from Google News or through something else? Many thanks in advance for any light shed on this topic Edit: Link to Huffington Post page example from screenshot Screen%252520shot%2525202011-10-24%252520at%25252017.26.54.png
