YouTube & Google + Pages
-
Hello,
Has anyone had luck associating their Google + business page with their YouTube channel?
Our YouTube page is associated with our Google + profile (and we would like it to be associated with the Google + business page.)
There are numerous articles out there that Google is working on an update to allow the Channel/Google+ business page association but I am wondering if there is news we might have missed.
Or if there is a way to get around it?
We want to implement video on some site pages and would rather use YouTube code as opposed to customizing a solution.
Do most folks think Google will have an easy solution once it at arrives? Meaning if you upload videos to your channel that is currently associated with the profile page, do you think there will be a way to convert everything over to a Google + business page once they unveil an update.
Thank you!

Just following up on this one. I've just gone through this process - http://youtubecreator.blogspot.co.uk/2013/04/using-google-page-identity-on-youtube.html for Distilled, and It does work.
It's not perfectly elegant, but will do the job.

Phil,
Thanks for all your responses. I will review both links and really appreciate the assistance/direction.

YouTube is the best place to put content if you're trying to build up your brand awareness with informational and useful (not sales or conversion focused) content.
If you care about rankings and driving traffic with your videos, then YouTube is definitely not the best place to start.

Thank you.
We don't have any videos at all yet and a very small audience on Google +. In our industry, we have one or two competitors using video and we have some ideas to show off our capabilities.
We figured YouTube would be the best place to start.
We want to be able to use the videos added to YT to ultimately embed on a couple of site pages. And potentially capture some organic search traffic.
My concern is posting numerous videos to a YT page that might ultimately be permanently associated with the Google + profile page.
And potentially impacting some natural search results (if we see some.)

Sort of,but ultimately, I'd question what the real concern is.
If you have a massive audience base on Google+, just posting your YT videos on there will get them engaged.
I doubt having it all linked up will ultimately provide significant benefit - at least, certainly not to the degree that you need to take any action in the meantime such as duplicating your YouTube videos.
-
Thanks for the insight, Phil.
At this point, it sounds as if the only option (with You Tube anyway) would be to add video to the You Tube page associated with the Google + profile.
And hope the integration goes smoothly once Google rolls it out.
-
For want of a more eloquent phrase, I think Google have somewhat "screwed this up" for business owners, in the attempt to make YouTube and Google+ better integrated.
Currently (as far as i am aware), I don't think there's any solution past what I assume you have implemented if you've connected the G+ page to your YouTube Channel as I've done here http://www.youtube.com/distilledseo
One assumes a better integration is in the pipeline for Business G+ and YouTube channels, but it may take a while to get there.

Ha! Glad this is a good one for discussion!
Hopefully there will be a solution soon...

I have no answer for you but I'm very interested in this subject! I'll be following this thread to see if anything new crops up to your answer. Great question!

Our protected pages 302 redirect to a login page if not a member. Is that a problem for SEO?
We have a membership site that has links out in our unprotected pages. If a non-member clicks on these links it sends a 302 redirect to the login / join page. Is this an issue for SEO? Thanks!

How can a keyword placed on a page with the Moz page optimization score of 100 be ranked #51+?
Hi, Please help me figure out why this is happening and what goes wrong. This is the example of the poor ranked keyword - 'viking cooktop repair' with page optimization score of 100 (http://www.yourappliancerepairla.com/blog/viking-cooktop-repair/) Yet it's ranking is #51+. I've got many like these: Page Optimization Score for 'kitchenaid oven repair' is 100 (http://www.yourappliancerepairla.com/blog/kitchenaid-oven-repair/) yet its ranking is #51+ And so on. According to Google Search Console, I have 266 of links to my site with variety of root domains. While building backlinks, I paid attention to relevancy and DA.What else do I have to do to get those keywords ranked higher? And why don't they rank well if the pages are 100% optimized, not keywords stuffed and I have quality backlinks? What am I missing out on? Please help!

How to get google to forget my old but still working page and list my new fully optimized page for a keyword?
Hi There! (i am beginner in seo) I have dynamic and static pages on our site. I created a static page for a specific keyword. Fully optimized it, (h1, alt, metas, etc.....maybe too optimized). My problem is that this page is alive for weeks, checked it in GWT and it is in robots.txt, google sees it, and indexed it. BUT whenewer i do a search for that keyword, we still appear with the dynamically created link in the google listings. How could i "redirect" google, if sy make a search for that keyword than shows our optimized page? Is there a tool for that? I cant delete the dynamic page... Any ideas? Thx Andrew

Website SEO Product Pages - Condense Product Pages
We are managing a website that has seen consistently dropping rankings over the last 2 years (http://www.independence-bunting.com/). Our long term strategy has been purely content-based and is of high quality, but isn’t seeing the desired results. It is an ecommerce site that has a lot of pages, most of which are category or product pages. Many of the product pages have duplicate or thin content, which we currently see as one of the primary reasons for the ranking drops.The website has many individual products which have the same fabric and size options, but have different designs. So it is difficult to write valuable content that differs between several products that have similar designs. Right now each of the different designs has its own product page. We have a dilemma, because our options are:A.Combine similar designs of the product into one product page where the customer must choose a design, a fabric, and a size before checking out. This way we can have valuable content and don’t have to duplicate that content on other pages or try to find more to say about something that there really isn’t anything else to say about. However, this process will remove between 50% and 70% of the pages on the website. We know number of indexed pages is important to search engines and if they suddenly see that half of our pages are gone, we may cause more negative effects despite the fact that we are in fact aiming to provide more value to the user, rather than less.B.Leave the product pages alone and try to write more valuable content for each product page, which will be difficult because there really isn’t that much more to say, or more valuable ways to say it. This is the “safe” option as it means that our negative potential impact is reduced but we won’t necessarily see much positive trending either. C.Test solution A on a small percentage of the product categories to see any impact over the next several months before making sitewide updates to the product pages if we see positive impact, or revert to the old way if we see negative impact.Any sound advice would be of incredible value at this point, as the work we are doing isn’t having the desired effects and we are seeing consistent dropping rankings at this point.Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you,

When creating parent and child pages should key words be repeated in url and page title?
We are in the direct mail advertising business: PrintLabelAndMail.com Example: Parent:

Postcard Advantages should "postcard" be repeated in the URL and Page Title? and in this example should each of the 5 children link back directly to the parent or would it be better to "daisy chain" them using each as parent for the next?0 -
Google picking up wrong page title
Hi, When searching for "Tottenham Forum" on google.co.uk (link below) http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=tottenham+forum&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-GB:official&client=firefox-a The site I manage (THFCTalk.com) is listed as 4th in the search results, but was hacked a few months ago and the search results lists the page title as "Free Shipping. Order Cialis Online. - Online Pharmacy" when the actual page title of THFCTalk is not actually set at that. Any idea how to fix this so Google updates this header on the search results? - as it is surely putting people off from clicking on our search result
