Google showing less index pages for facebook.com ?
-
site:facebook.com 7,350,000,000 results in Google ( When I login with gmail account)
site:facebook.com 7,360,000,000 results in Google ( Without Login)
Don't you you people think its quite big difference ?
I want to know about extra 10,000,000 index pages ?

Google has said that this is just an approximation of the number of results. Think of the extra computing power that would be required to give an exact count of the number of results for each query, and think of how very few people care of the exact number of results.
Don't worry about it, and devote your time to something that will make you money.

Sanket,
As mentioned, Google's count of results is not a precise number and is known to vary.

Hi Adam and Brian,
Thanks for your response.
My question is why Google shows 10,000,000 less pages when I logged in with my Gmail account.
Please check the difference between above data.
-
The number that you see there is not really the number of pages they know about. It can vary based on time of day, logged in state, which data center responds to your request, and numerous other factors. They also don't tell you about every page that they know about - Just the ones that they might want to show you. I wouldn't base anything on the numbers shown in search results there.
-
That's just a fraction of a percent difference.
Google's count of results is not that accurate. You can demonstrate this on smaller sites. Google might say "200" results but once you start digging down its only 154 for example.
The count of results is only an approximation of the actual number.

Google+ currently DOES support hidden addresses?
We noticed yesterday that many of our clients with hidden addresses are now able to get a verified G+ page through the Places dashboard. Anyone else have any insight on this? Are they classified as "Local" pages, or just verified "Business" pages?

Assigning g+ page as author?
Hey, Recently we are quite disturbed about if we should assign our business g+ page as an author for main pages of the site and home page? I will explain shortly:
Social Media | | Ouzan
We are a group of professionals that write content (each one on his own subject), the posts / reviews / videos etc... we make are each assigned to our personal g+ profiles. Now my question is:
What should we do with pages like the homepage or main pages?
Should we assign the website g+ business page as the author? or publisher is enough?0 -
Setting up Google + Business Pages for Multiple Clients
I am looking at setting up several of my clients with Google Plus pages for their businesses. What's the best practice for doing this? Should I have a separate Google Account for each and set up the Business Page under that account? Are you allowed to have multiple Google Accounts manage a single Business Page - i.e., can I turn it over to the business without having to relinquish my control or give them access to the account I made? Any good tutorials on getting started with this? Thanks! Tom

Google Plus Page vs. Local
We have a google plus page here, set up as a business: https://plus.google.com/b/118361610870255631824/118361610870255631824/posts Then we also have a migrated local page: https://plus.google.com/111600136449742974371/about?gl=uk&hl=en What I would like to see ideally, is to keep the local marker so when people search through Google Maps our name still appears, but on a branded search for 'world of books' I want to see our Google+ page down the right hand side, rather than the local page currently, search for 'world of books' I want it to look the same as if I search for 'music magpie' Help!

Does promoting a new page on twitter/facebook help it get indexed faster?
I know this probably won't matter much to people who get crawled on a regular basis, but for those of us who don't, does promoting a new page on social media help it get indexed faster with google? My site rarely gets crawled, but I've recently been adding new content. When I add new content I started to promote it on facebook/twitter and I do get minimal traffic from it. I noticed that a couple of the pages seem to be indexing quicker than pages normally do for me, although I'm not sure if it's because I recently migrated to WP or what..? I know T/FB are no follow sites, but is there a chance that promoting a page may contribute to the pages getting indexed? Thanks for any insight you can shed on the matter. It's more for curiosities sake than anything else. Pete S.
