Add Google + button link to google page and not link
-
Hello SEOOOOOOOOO moz people !
I was wondering if you know how can I add Google + button to my page
I tried to set it up in google page http://awesomescreenshot.com/08d1a9hmef
https://plus.google.com/b/109790526955470383191/109790526955470383191/posts
But i would like to link the button to my google + fan page https://plus.google.com/b/109790526955470383191/109790526955470383191/about and not the url of the page.
As our website is indeed 12 websites if you go to http://www.ibremarketing.com you don't have the same +1 than http://www.ibremarketing.com/me or http://www.ibremarketing.com/ma
Any idea of how to do it ?
It would be amazing

Nice to hear that and proud to help! nos vemos

Hello !
Tks a lot for your help Nathan and Cyrius. Now it's working fine (liking the page is adding a like in the fanpage and vice versa)
I did not change anything. Maybe Google just needed time.
Tks a lot
So the answer to my question would be: to use the google plugin linked to your website url and then setup properly your google page.
-
As far as I can tell you have everything set up correctly, and it's doubtful setting it up a different way will produce significantly different results, so I'd say you're good!
-
Hello !
So if I understand properly, we do not know why there is a slight difference between the +1 result into Google page and the one in our website ?
But wich one will you recommand to use ?
Tks a lot for your help !
-
Typically, if I understand correctly, the number of +1's on your Google+ profile closely reflect the # of +1s associated with the homepage of your website.
What's interesting is that Google reports 16 +1's to your homepage through thier API, which we can see through Open Site Explorer: http://www.opensiteexplorer.org/pages.html?site=www.ibremarketing.com%2F
You have everything set up correctly as far as I can tell. Not sure why there is a difference. It could be because of caching or differences in the way the widget reports +1's from the web app. Regardless, the difference isn't enough to cause concern.
As far as helping you in rankings, to be honest the effect is likely small at this point. We know Google uses G+ to index new content, and it can play a significant factor in search personalization. At this point I would work on promoting yourself for more visibility, and eventually you'll may see the influence of Google+ shares.
Hope this helps! Best of luck.

I think that the answer to the re-question in your last reply is Yes.

Hello
Thanks for your help (Nathan also by the way ;p)
- On me company website I added a Google + Plugin.
- I link this one to my url www.ibremarketing.com
- My google page is properly linked to my website
However, I have 15 Google like on the website and just 12 on the google + page
So my question is: If i set up google plugin with the google page url will google understands that people are liking my website and use it improve my ranking ?
Right now it looks like the plugin is considering the google page different than my website url, even if both are linked together.
Hope you can give me a hand !
Tks a lot

Hi Flo,
Sorry, I've read through this thread twice, and I'm a little confused. Could you give an example URL, and possibly restate the question? More than happy to help.
Thanks.
-
Well... i'm not sure 100%
but I think that is better to have a community in G+ and link your url, but maybe i'm wrong
really i not tested two options face off... must to look this deeper...
-
Hello !
Can someone else give us a hand to be sure ?
-
You think it's better to link to google + then the page ?
Because I did the reverse. I link to the page (.com) and .com is supposed to be linked to the website.
Mum ... How can we be sure of that ?
-
Exactly Flo!!!
That's what I tried to say: Is not the same a "+1 to an URL" with a "+1 to a G+Page"
You can set it to your .com or set it to your G+Page url, To use both, you must use the Badge, not the Button
The best option I think is set the +1 to the Google Plus Page, and link it to your website url
Sorry for don't explain me clearly enough...
-
Hello Natan !
But it's strange because I see the code working fine
http://awesomescreenshot.com/01b1aaqpc0
However I do not see exactly the same on the page
http://awesomescreenshot.com/0471aaqb89
Do you think iit's considering the G page and my website page as different ?
-
Hi! (Mira, alguien que habla español, si en realidad somos muchos)
So... i don't know if you can improve the Badge onto your page, but i think is the better option if possible https://developers.google.com/+/web/badge/
Because it includes +1 to url and circles for the page
if not possible, you must decide what to do, because the button can be linked to an url, or to the url when it appears.
If set the box "URL to +1" with http://www.ibremarketing.com" i actually can see the 12 +1 you have
-
Hola !
No hay problema se puede solucionar en espanol tmb ! Ja jaja
But I saw he difference between both and as the website is linked to google + fan page http://awesomescreenshot.com/0451a9sld5 I think it would be better to G+ the page rather than the url (as i have 12 urls .com/me, .com/fr, etc.)
But I don't know how to set it up.
When I do it on google + page http://awesomescreenshot.com/06e1a9tfda https://developers.google.com/+/web/+1button/ I do not see the 12 current followers.
So in fact how to be sure than my google + code is weel linked to my google + and my google + page linked to my website and it's subfolders
Tks a lot !
(ps: I love valencia by the way :p)

Hi Flo! (first, sorry for my english, i try to improve it)
I think that maybe you are confusig the +1 to an url, with the +1 to a Google Plus Page.
In your page ibremarketing.com you have the button with +12 because 12 users done +1 to www.ibremarketing.com
If you set the +1 button to your G+'s page, the url is not "ibremarketing.com", being google.com/yourpagesid (the url that i can see you set up in the box URL TO +1 to test the script). This second url have not any +1 at this moment, and is a different one.
So, there are two major options: +1 your own website's url, or +1 the Google Plus Page and follow it on Google Plus.
Is simmilar to facebook likes. I can like a url and recommend it, or i can like a facebook fan page to follow it.
My suggestion is: left the +1 button to your website's url and use Badge option to let users follow your Google's Plus Page.
Or better: Set the +1 button to the G+ page, and link it officialy to www.ibremarketing.com
like this: (sorry if appears in spanish, must be in english too)

Links in clients footers
I have one quick question. Maybe you can just point me to the correct post... We have currently been adding our own website link in the wp copyright footer of clients websites that we build and design. We understand that this is not the best option for SEO since it might be punished by Google as spam. Can you please recommend a better solution for this? From an SEO standpoint is it best to just remove the links? Make them nonfollow? Add it to a "Website Credits" page or "About Us" page. I always discuss this link with all clients and offer a discount which 100% of them take in the end. I just need to work on our ranking a bit now and see that this could be hurting things more than good.

How to turn a good blog into link bait
Hello, I don't really believe in spending a lot of time link building (and maybe that's a limitation of mine). I believe, at least for the small businesses I've been running, that producing targeted, thorough, very very helpful, useful, unique, authority based, knowledgable, transparent content is what most of the time should go into. I'm sure there are many exceptions in industry and company size. We use a blog and feature it really big and solid on the home page. So we're making a blog that has the qualities above (useful, unique ... transparent). How, while we're doing the writing, can we make the content also be good link bait? We need an awesome link profile. Also, what free easy afterward social or email outreach am I not including to maximize exposure (The only content marketing I do is posting blog posts right now on Facebook and Google+)? What would you do with the first $100 in this context? The first $300? (We're low budget always) Thanks, Bob

Importance of Google+ name?
Greetings Mozzers, I'm working on some Google+ profiles currently and have one interesting case where I'd like some advice. The name of one of my clients' web addresses, company name, and Google+/Google Local verified local business names all reflect the same thing. [Name] Surgical Associates However, on Google+ it looks like it has a limited number of characters so it reads: [Name] Surgical Ass... How important is it to keep the name identical to everything else on the web? Could I get away with just changing the name on Google+ to [Name] Surgical I appreciate in advice on this matter and what would occur if I changed it here. Thanks.

What can i do to regain top 3 for local map listings if I already created a bunch of citation link to my site?
I got hit by a penguin refresh on Oct 5th and lost over 10 #1 rankings. I'm currently #4 on the places listing for my main keyword and really trying to regain top 3 position. I created a bunch of local citation with matching info and really piped out my map listing since it is 100% complete. I'm quite stumped on how to further optimize my map listing to where i can hit top 3 positions. Does anyone have any recommendations on this issue? Thanks Sam

How to increase the value of naturally created low value links
My site is starting to generate natural links (hooray!). Basically, as part of my client sign-up process, I encourage my clients (home improvement contractors, plumbers, roofers, electricians) to link back to their own profile page on my site from their own site, either manually or using a badge I've created and made available. I have 2 questions about this. First of all, the vast majority of these links are from seriously low quality sites with basically no backlink profile whatsoever. Many of these sites aren't even indexed. So I'm starting to feel like I'm doing all this hard work for nothing. Is there anything I can do to increase the value of these incoming links, without spending too much time or money? I'm thinking directory submission and/or link wheel gigs on fiverr (really crappy SEO, I know, but just to get these sites bumped up a notch, and hopefully not do any damage to my site, as they're a step removed.) Second question, the profile pages that my clients can create on my site includes a nofollowed link to their site. Does the nofollow save me from having all of my incoming links tagged as reciprocal? Is there anything else I should be doing?

Developing location pages
I need to expand our service offering to another city and focus our SEO efforts to that new location. Would it be best to purchase a new domain name and make a new website very similar to the existing website so we can better target the search engines? Same look and feel as the existing website. Or would it be better to create a landing page for the new location on the existing website to help stengthen the current domain name? If so, how do i focus the SERPs to the new location when the existing website is so focused around my current location?
