How to get started with G+
-
Hi
Im about to establish a G+ account, and i just want to know if anyone inhere has some insights that might be useful in that proces.
Its gonna be a company profile, and its important that its combined with our SEM-account.
Is there any pointers in order to do this, any good advices on how to create a profile?

Just know that you'll need to have a personal profile and a page profile to accomplish this.
Michelle Ross over at Search Engine Journal did a great post a few months ago on how to get started on Google+
That is a great start there but I think the best one I've seen for Businesses is by Marvin Shervington (marvinshervington.com) and he created a complete guide for Google+ for brands
You're question is kind of like asking "how do I get started in SEO" It's really hard to answer without giving you some sources first and when you have specifics then you can come back and ask those question and get better discussion.
In my opinion Google+ is Twitter, Facebook and Google combined. There are a lot of nuances with it and giving you one big overview is pretty tough. Read up on the resources I've provided, and others that you can search for and feel free to ask any specifics you have.

This is a great topic and I hope it gets some love. I am ashamed to admit I know very little about Google Plus. I consider myself very savvy when it comes to technology and social media, but this one has me slightly intimidated. I'm not sure why, but the format just seems confusing to me. Granted I'm sure if I sat down and spent a couple days on it I'd be off and running, but still I'd like to see some responses to this topic to give G+ noobs a little encouragement.

A page on our site is registering as having 262 external links coming from two pages on Google+. The page it comes from is for posts related to #weddings, but I can't find the post with our link.

Is it possible to get high page ranking with no social media activity?
I'm curious to know how much social media effects the chances of being more highly ranked on Google. I appreciate it's important to 'be seen' by Google, but if articles/newsletters are being written, does it really matter if a business isn't using Twitter or Facebook, etc?

SEO relevance of Google+. Should we bother getting Google+?
I've read mixed results about the SEO benefit of having Google+ for your company. I'm sure that a very small % of my sites user base has Google+ so if we did implement Google+ into our site I don't think we would really have anyone following us...or in our circle or whatever they call it. So are you guys using Google+ for your business and if so, do you think it's worth it for me to if I know barely any of my users have Google+? Google really seems to be trying to plush Google+ for business, with replacing Google places with Google+ Business and requiring people to log into Google+ to rate businesses. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Where To Start With High Budget Client
I hope some of you may be able to lend some advice here. We have secured a large client who has a considerable monthly SEO Budget. The problem is this. They are in a competitive industry, the site is brand new, the brand name is pretty much unheard of but they have been backed by an angel investor and understand the importance of SEO. Now the guys obviously want to see that there money is being spent wisely and they are getting ROI, even if not in immediate results certainly by effort we put into them. Aside from having a small team initially going through there site to ensure that it is optimized to the best level it can be what would be your recommendations on getting this company off to the best start. Also they want to concentrate on natural search rather than PPC. Without mentioning the name of the company they are a software developer for an innovative ticketing system. Thanks in advance Paul

Linking Facebook - Twitter - Website - G+ Profiles
During a spectacular presentation at Seattle Interactive Conference, Rand discussed how Google is able to see linkage between different social networks and a Google profile. Outside of setting up your Twitter feed to send loads of messages to your Facebook fans (or vice versa), is there a best way to communicate the "linkage" between your social media profiles to the search engines? Eg - How do you best signal to Google that your Twitter, Facebook, G+ and your website are from the same entity?
