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...

Help with pages Google is labeling "Not Followed"
I am seeing a number of pages that I am doing 301 redirects on coming up under the "Not Followed" category of the advanced index status in google webmasters. Google says this might be because the page is still showing active content or the redirect is not correct. I don't know how to tell if the page is still showing active content, and if someone can please tell me how to determine this it would be greatly appreciated. Also if you can provide a solution for how to adjust my page to make sure that the content is not appearing to be active, that would be amazing. Thanks in advance, here is a few links to pages that are experiencing this: www.luxuryhomehunt.com/homes-for-sale/sunnyisles.html www.luxuryhomehunt.com/homes-for-sale/summerield.html

Why isn't Google pushing my Schema data to the search results page
I believe we have it set up right. I'm noticing all my competitors schema data is showing up which is really giving them a leg up on us. We have a high ranking website so I'm just not sure why it's now showing up. Here is an example URL http://www.airgundepot.com/3576w.html I've used the Google webmaster tools tester and it all looks fine. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Want to Target Mobile site for Google Mobile Version and Desktop Site for Google Desktop Version
I have ecommerce site with both mobile version and desktop version. Mobile version starts with m.example.com and full version starts with www.example.com I am using same content through out both site and using 301 redirection by detecting user agent vice-versa. My both sites are accessible to crawl by any google spider. I have submitted both sites's sitemap to GWT and mobile site having mobile sitemap xml, so google can easily recognize my mobile site. Is it going to help to rank my both sites as per my expectation? I need to rank for mobile site in Google mobile and ranking for desktop site in Google desktop version. Some of pages of my mobile site are started to appearing in Google desktop version. So how I can stop them to appear in Google desktop? Your comments are highly welcome.

Should I delete a page or remove links on a penalized page?
Hello All, If I have a internal page that has low quality links point to it or a penality. Can I just remove the page, and start over versus trying to remove the links? Over time wouldn't this page disapear along with the penalty on that page? Kinda like pruning a tree? Cutting off the junk limbs so other could grow stronger, or to start new fresh ones. Example: www.domain.com Penalized Internal Page: (Say this page is penalized due to keyword stuffing, and has low quality links pointing to it like blog comments, or profiles) www.domain.com/penalized-internal-page.com Would it be effective to just delete this page (www.domain.com/penalized-internal-page.com) and start over with a new page. New Internal Page: www.domain.com/new-internal-page.com I would of course lose any good links point to that page, but it might be easier then trying to remove old back links. Thoughts? Thanks! Pete

Google Web Master Tools - Keyword Variants & misspelling
We have millions of urls and the technical expertise to write code to fix the spelling of keyword variants Google has discovered and shows us in Web Master tools. Since Google has recognized these as variants, is it worth our time to write code that will fix the spelling of obvious misses?
