How to Increase +1s for Google plus? Any Ideas ?
-
Anyone who know any good ways to increase the following, +1s on Google plus please share !thanks.
(I know good content will do the trick but what else?)

IMO, you can do everything including prayer and not get Google+ action. Most people have no idea what it is.
SEOs and Google employees are the only people who care about Google+
They will abandon it soon. Spend your valuable time on other work.

- Make it easy for people to follow or +1. Have it clearly visible on your site. Most people are lazy and won't go out of their way to do so unless it's very easy for them to do so. Use social media widgets, icons etc.
- At the end of any blog posts/important content, remind people to follow you
- Get involved in other people's conversations. Offer your point of view. Make it meaningful, however. Don't just comment for the sake of it.
- Share other people's content and always mention them when sharing their content. They'll be appreciative of your share and often follow back.
- Don't be afraid to follow others. Find people in your niche. Interact. Become part of that community.
Hope this helps!

Hi Vikas_Rana,
As you said, simply sharing awesome content (doesn't have to be restricted to the niche of the business) helps a great lot in increasing the overall following and +1s of the Google+ page.
Other ways:
- help out people out if they ask questions (e.g. a comment on an article)
- Comment on other users' status updates (being funny helps :)!)
-
if you haven't done so, share the G+ page on different social media
-
share interesting posts of others.
Also the following article will be of help:

Good luck!

Just recently we discovered a nice way was to run a competition and then mention that you'll be announcing the winners on Twitter, Facebook and Google+. The competition isn't over yet but I'm hopeful that most the followers that we've accumulated will stick around if we state that first notification of any future competitions will be done via our social networking profiles.
I don't think the prize necessarily has to be elaborate, just enough to get some engagement.

Is a Facebook lookalike audience a good idea when audience requires a necessary characteristic
We are running a social media campaign for a point of sales system for restaurants and retail stores. We have had quite a bit of traffic to our website from Adwords and SEO. We have thought of the idea of creating a new look-alike audience based off the people who have come to our website already. However, we only really want to only build a Facebook audience consisting of business owners, managers or decision makers of restaurants and retail stores that would be interested in a point of sales system at some point. We know that most of the people who have come to our website (from SEO and Adwords) have been interested, in some degree, in our point of sales system. My reservation though is that if we create a look-alike audience, Facebook will not be able to replicate the type of audience that really fits this profile - that it will create an audience possibly of similar personalties, interests etc to that of those that have visited our site, but not one that consists predominately or entirely of owners, managers or decision makers of restaurants and retail stores. This is the necessary characteristic we are wanting for our audience members. Is it fair to assume that in this situation Facebook won't be effective in its creation of a look-alike audience to fulfil what we are really needing as stated? Or am I underestimating Facebook's abilities? You thoughts here would be greatly appreciated.

Google Plus page - keep or delete?
Do you guys think that if we are not going to be able to maintain a Google Plus page, from a SEO standpoint is it better to keep or delete the page? Also, do you guys think there's still SEO value to having a Google Plus page in general? Is it worth it? Thanks! MS

Is it important for SEO that YouTube and Google + be used under the same Google Account?
Hello - I have a client that has their Google Plus and YouTube under separate Google accounts. My thoughts are that it'd be best for SEO and awareness with Google that their active YouTube channel to be under their active Google Plus account. My question is: Is it recommended for SEO that we upload the videos to her prominent Google business account (they only have about 100 subscribers)? If we did this we would delete them from the other account to avoid dup. content. We are in a position where we can make this change easily if it is recommended and good for SEO--which I would think it would be. So we would like to know now if we should make this change before we grow the YouTube channel further, or if we should leave it how it is. Any insight would be very helpful! Thank you!

Google Authorship
Hey Guys, I'm trying to setup an Authorship profile for a client of mine and I am not sure if I have done it correctly. Here is what I did: I put my clients blog in the 'Contributor To' section on Google + (https://plus.google.com/u/0/116742052385950982723/about) I confirmed my email address on Google + I put the Google + profile link at the end of each article I put the Google + profile link in my user account inside of WordPress One thing im not too sure about is that there is a link to my clients Google + Page (Not Profile) in the footer, will this prevent authorship? Have I missed anything? Thanks!

Places for business vs. Google+ personal profile
I am still trying to figure out Places and Google+. Could someone please help me understand how my Google+ profile (that it attached to and can be accessed through my gmail account) interacts with my Places page (which requires my gmail credentials to administer, but can only be accessed through the Places page itself)? Do my posts on my personal profile enhance my Places listing? Any help would be appreciated.

Google Auth and brands/individuals problem
So you can auth pages with personal google+ profiles - and its being suggested by some that this could now help rankings if that person has lots of people in their circles. So what about brand/companies content? why cant they auth the content with their Google+ profile to get the content ranking better. It doesn't seem right an individual blogger can do this but a company cannot who has written lots of guides. An example is a holiday company has written some awesome content on resorts around the World - how to use the auth for that content to rank higher? - currently only possible to link up an individual as writing the content not the brand/company itself. Any suggestions on this much appreciated. I do not want to lose any gain there might be from this new bonus given from Google.
