Simple google plus question
-
Hi,
My client
www.nlpca(dot)com
wants to know if we can just place the google plus button on their website or do we have to have a profile and such and share things regularly?
Thanks!
-
Go for the new business pages -
http://www.google.com/+/business/
Its well worth getting into using this and also think about the use of the button across the site to help with rankings as I expect them to become more and more important.
-
Why make a profile if you aren't going to use it? Having it on your site with nothing on it is worse then not having it at all?
-
I would suggest doing both.
That would be the equivalent to placing a "tweet" button on your website/blog and than not having a Twitter account to monitor the interaction.
I know it is one more social media account to manage, but approach it as another opportunity to interact and share with your audience!
-
Why not build engagement and recommend growing a profile?

Google+ Best Practice
I have a client company looking to make use of G+ The company has a high quality, decent traffic blog with articles written by 4 in-house team members. The company has a G+ company page and each of the 4 blog authors has their own G+ profile. None of the G+ authors have any interest in using their G+ profile for general social reasons - simply as a means for sharing content (and consuming content from others) within the scope of the business sector they are in. In order to take advantage of G+ authorship, we have now linked each user to their own G+ profile page (using Yoast WP plugin) and linked the website to the G+ company page. Rel=publisher also added for the company. In terms of best practice would you recommend sharing new blog posts to the individual's G+ profile page AND to the G+ company page or just do one or the other? As a final twist the company also has a G+ Local page which is primarily used for local search/map entry (the company is online but has a physical office address). Should articles also be posted to the G+ Local page?

How do I merge a google+ and a youtube account?
Before Google merged Google+ and Youtube, we had opened a Google+ account for our business from one email account and a separate account on youtube from a separate account. Now that Google merged the two channels, it created a new G+ page for our youtube account. but I want to merge the youtube account with our formal Google+ page. How do I go about doing that Thank you Joni

Google +1 Personal vs Business

Authorship and Google +
I've got 14 affiliate websites with plenty of original content on each. When I set up Google + last year I of course had the page in my name and then went on to set up separate pages for each site. Actually one page is related to 8 different sites related to golf but broken down by club type. I also have a Wordpress plugin which presents my author bio on my about page for each site. I've filled out all the pertinent information on each Google + page with unique data. OK, when I write a review or blog topic and post it to Google + am I getting the rel = author juice from the sub pages as if I post it to my main profile page? Posting to my Don Bistrow page vs. my golf page?

Google + 1
1. does anyone know if these have a huge seo impact and if it is worth the effort to get these. 2. if you had to choose only one to focus on would you pick fb, twitter, or +1.
