Google plus question
-
hi i have started using google plus after some great advice on here, i am not sure if i have done this correct but here is my url for my account, if anyone lets me know if this is the address i should be promoting.
https://plus.google.com/108369767071351734510/posts?hl=en-GB
my question is
Is it best to have my postings as public or as circles, very new to this so not sure how to have my posts set, any advice would be great
-
this is great advice, i am going to read your info on page using the rel="author" tag as i am not sure how to do this. also i need to find out about if we can put the company name on there so people can find us as they will not know who we are with a personal name.
i have content on the page but need to look at it and see what i can do to improve it

Hi Diane
I suggest you make your postings public. This will help people find you, and know if what you're sharing is interesting, so they can put you in their circles.
One of the most useful things you can do with your Google+ page is verify your site for authorship (so your image appears in Google search results).
To set this up you will need to do a couple more things:
1. Add your site under "Contributor to" section on your About page.
2. Make your +1s public.
3. Add links from your site to your Google+ page using the rel="author" tag. (This completes the circle so Google knows you are contributor to your site, and that your site verifies you as the author).
I wrote a short guide about setting up authorship, though you'll doubtless find many more on the web.
I would also advise you to add a bit more content to your page - images and info about yourself - then publish a few posts and start circling people you find interesting.
Good luck

SEO Questions & Help
I have a woo commerce shop in the firearms industry which makes advertising even more difficult because no FB, IG, or Google campaigns. I do have other sources of advertising but I'm a complete noob when it comes to SEO and the like. I know it exists and its important and that's the extent of it. I was thinking of hiring someone on Upwork to take care of this on my website but what kinds of questions/things I should look out for to keep from getting scammed? Any tips would be appreciated

What is your take on using Google images for blogs
In your opinion, do you think it is okay to use Google images for your blog posts as long as it credits or includes a link to the site in which you located it? We tried looking at stock art for some license-free photos and had no luck in coming up with good pictures. What rules or guidelines do you follow when looking for pictures for your customers blog (or your own)? A lot of our posts have to do with "what to do in this city" or "Where to go in this city". Do you think it's okay to use Google images for these types of posts?

How to make new content Indexed faster by google
I would like to know what can I do. Normally it takes google around 3 days to index my content. I got a site map, swiched the crawling rate to the fastest in my webmaster tools. I also tried crawling my homepage as google bot and sending it to the index with all linked pages but even if I do so my content takes around 3 days if not more to get indexed. I publish around 20 posts a week. My SEOmoz page authority is 48. Some sites of my competition seem to be getting their content indexed in the same day. What else can be done?

Google Blogger Vs. Sub Domain Blog - Authority building.
We are looking into offering blogs for our customers on their current sites that we have built & host for them. My developers have given me 2 options. 1. Sub domain with a hosted blog. 2. A Google Blogger blog with our customers sub-domain pointed to it. In my opinion I feel that a blog hosted on the sub domain is a better option as it is more authority then a Google Blogger blog. What does everyone think? Having a blog hosted on the subdomain would help with authority building vs. a Google Blogger site? Thanks for any help!

Hi, I was just wondering if anyone had used Google Site Search before and what they thought of it? http://www.google.com/sitesearch/ It seems quite expensive for just returning your own pages but would be interested to find out more. Thanks
