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.

Finding authoritative sources on Google+ - is there a tool?
I'm looking for a way to find authoritative sources on Google+ on certain subjects. I define an authoritative source as someone who is in a lot of people's circles, and the content they curate gets shared, +1, and commented a lot. The subjects are variable, but for an example: What's the best way to find authoritative sources on Google+ on the subject of auto technology. Does anyone know of a tool that can do this?

Gain Access to Google+ Profile
We are having trouble accessing a Google+ profile for a client. We know the profile we want to gain access to, but the client doesn't remember the email or password. The marketing company they worked with before also doesn't know what the email or password is to claim the profile. We have tried contacting Google to gain access to the email, but they were unable to give us the login email due to privacy issues. If you have any suggestions to gain access to this profile, it is greatly appreciated. Please take in mind the following: We do not know the email nor have access to obtaining it We do know the profile we want to gain access to

Does a 301 redirect pass along Google +1's from the old url to the new one?
When I 301 redirect a page that has content that has been +1'ed by our visitors, I would assume that Google would handle a +1 the same as a link and pass this authority along to the new url. Has anyone had any experience or heard directly from Google confirming this behavior?
