Can you duplicate on site Blog Posts to Google Plus

[AshShep1]

I have read from an authorative source that you can duplicate your blog posts on your google plus account without issues as google knows that this is your 'property'.

is this correct and what would be the value in doing so?

until we have need sign posting new blog posts with a link.

Hi no this isn't what I meant, I have authorship sorted.

i think I read on Copyblogger that it was a good tactic to re post your blogs on google plus without google penalising you for duplicate copy, in order to engage your google plus following rather than just drop a link ?

I believe you are referring to Google Authorship or Google publisher which allows you to associate your content with your Google+ profile. To implement you just need to add a small line of code or can even just use the Rich snippet highlighter in webmaster tools.

Once you have added this you need to confirm that the article was produced by you in Google+ and appears on your time line.

Hope thats helpful.
