Add Google + button link to google page and not link
-
Hello SEOOOOOOOOO moz people !
I was wondering if you know how can I add Google + button to my page
I tried to set it up in google page http://awesomescreenshot.com/08d1a9hmef
https://plus.google.com/b/109790526955470383191/109790526955470383191/posts
But i would like to link the button to my google + fan page https://plus.google.com/b/109790526955470383191/109790526955470383191/about and not the url of the page.
As our website is indeed 12 websites if you go to http://www.ibremarketing.com you don't have the same +1 than http://www.ibremarketing.com/me or http://www.ibremarketing.com/ma
Any idea of how to do it ?
It would be amazing

Nice to hear that and proud to help! nos vemos

Hello !
Tks a lot for your help Nathan and Cyrius. Now it's working fine (liking the page is adding a like in the fanpage and vice versa)
I did not change anything. Maybe Google just needed time.
Tks a lot
So the answer to my question would be: to use the google plugin linked to your website url and then setup properly your google page.
-
As far as I can tell you have everything set up correctly, and it's doubtful setting it up a different way will produce significantly different results, so I'd say you're good!
-
Hello !
So if I understand properly, we do not know why there is a slight difference between the +1 result into Google page and the one in our website ?
But wich one will you recommand to use ?
Tks a lot for your help !
-
Typically, if I understand correctly, the number of +1's on your Google+ profile closely reflect the # of +1s associated with the homepage of your website.
What's interesting is that Google reports 16 +1's to your homepage through thier API, which we can see through Open Site Explorer: http://www.opensiteexplorer.org/pages.html?site=www.ibremarketing.com%2F
You have everything set up correctly as far as I can tell. Not sure why there is a difference. It could be because of caching or differences in the way the widget reports +1's from the web app. Regardless, the difference isn't enough to cause concern.
As far as helping you in rankings, to be honest the effect is likely small at this point. We know Google uses G+ to index new content, and it can play a significant factor in search personalization. At this point I would work on promoting yourself for more visibility, and eventually you'll may see the influence of Google+ shares.
Hope this helps! Best of luck.

I think that the answer to the re-question in your last reply is Yes.

Hello
Thanks for your help (Nathan also by the way ;p)
- On me company website I added a Google + Plugin.
- I link this one to my url www.ibremarketing.com
- My google page is properly linked to my website
However, I have 15 Google like on the website and just 12 on the google + page
So my question is: If i set up google plugin with the google page url will google understands that people are liking my website and use it improve my ranking ?
Right now it looks like the plugin is considering the google page different than my website url, even if both are linked together.
Hope you can give me a hand !
Tks a lot

Hi Flo,
Sorry, I've read through this thread twice, and I'm a little confused. Could you give an example URL, and possibly restate the question? More than happy to help.
Thanks.
-
Well... i'm not sure 100%
but I think that is better to have a community in G+ and link your url, but maybe i'm wrong
really i not tested two options face off... must to look this deeper...
-
Hello !
Can someone else give us a hand to be sure ?
-
You think it's better to link to google + then the page ?
Because I did the reverse. I link to the page (.com) and .com is supposed to be linked to the website.
Mum ... How can we be sure of that ?
-
Exactly Flo!!!
That's what I tried to say: Is not the same a "+1 to an URL" with a "+1 to a G+Page"
You can set it to your .com or set it to your G+Page url, To use both, you must use the Badge, not the Button
The best option I think is set the +1 to the Google Plus Page, and link it to your website url
Sorry for don't explain me clearly enough...
-
Hello Natan !
But it's strange because I see the code working fine
http://awesomescreenshot.com/01b1aaqpc0
However I do not see exactly the same on the page
http://awesomescreenshot.com/0471aaqb89
Do you think iit's considering the G page and my website page as different ?
-
Hi! (Mira, alguien que habla español, si en realidad somos muchos)
So... i don't know if you can improve the Badge onto your page, but i think is the better option if possible https://developers.google.com/+/web/badge/
Because it includes +1 to url and circles for the page
if not possible, you must decide what to do, because the button can be linked to an url, or to the url when it appears.
If set the box "URL to +1" with http://www.ibremarketing.com" i actually can see the 12 +1 you have
-
Hola !
No hay problema se puede solucionar en espanol tmb ! Ja jaja
But I saw he difference between both and as the website is linked to google + fan page http://awesomescreenshot.com/0451a9sld5 I think it would be better to G+ the page rather than the url (as i have 12 urls .com/me, .com/fr, etc.)
But I don't know how to set it up.
When I do it on google + page http://awesomescreenshot.com/06e1a9tfda https://developers.google.com/+/web/+1button/ I do not see the 12 current followers.
So in fact how to be sure than my google + code is weel linked to my google + and my google + page linked to my website and it's subfolders
Tks a lot !
(ps: I love valencia by the way :p)

Hi Flo! (first, sorry for my english, i try to improve it)
I think that maybe you are confusig the +1 to an url, with the +1 to a Google Plus Page.
In your page ibremarketing.com you have the button with +12 because 12 users done +1 to www.ibremarketing.com
If you set the +1 button to your G+'s page, the url is not "ibremarketing.com", being google.com/yourpagesid (the url that i can see you set up in the box URL TO +1 to test the script). This second url have not any +1 at this moment, and is a different one.
So, there are two major options: +1 your own website's url, or +1 the Google Plus Page and follow it on Google Plus.
Is simmilar to facebook likes. I can like a url and recommend it, or i can like a facebook fan page to follow it.
My suggestion is: left the +1 button to your website's url and use Badge option to let users follow your Google's Plus Page.
Or better: Set the +1 button to the G+ page, and link it officialy to www.ibremarketing.com
like this: (sorry if appears in spanish, must be in english too)

I hope to be enough crearly in my explanation

Renaming of Link within Site Links - Brand Issues
Hi, We welcome your thoughts on the current problem we are experiencing: When searching for our client's brand name, their previous sponsors name is shown within the Site Links to a very important page. We are keen to change this reference within the Site Link but keep the link itself. We have untaken the following without any change to the words used within this particular Site Link: 1) Removal of previous-sponsors name sitewide: Title tags Alt attribute Anchors Page names Image names 2) Removal of sponsors name from 200+ sister sites: Title tags Alt attribute Anchors Page names Image names 3) Modification of [previous-sponsor + client] within Wikipedia:
Branding | | PhilYarrow
There were 250+ mentions of the sponsor + client within Wikipedia. References have either been deleted or changed to past tense. (Google has been extremely slow at indexing these changes.) 4) Removal of off-site mentions:
After using Advanced Filters within OSE, we extracted all links that included the previous-sponsors name. We filtered these by DA and approached these sites and requested they update their links/on-site content to include the up-to-date name. This included large news organisations and reference sources. We also used Google operators (inurl, inanchor, intitle) to search for references mentions of [previous-sponsor + client]. We used Buzzstream to collate this data and contacted hundreds of sites sorted by DA. 5) We have twice requested demotion of the Site Link via GWT without success. Google clearly see's the Site Link as too important to remove it. The following is useful background information:
The [client + previous-sponsor] worked together for 5+ years. Our client is known by it's own brand, but it was also called in certain arenas as [client + previous-sponsor].
Fresh mentions of [client + previous-sponsor] are frequent. Examples of this are from collectors merchandise and videos that are posted frequently. The page being shown within the Site Links is essential. It cannot be moved. With a PA of mid-70's.
We have changed the Title of the page multiple times, without any change to the Site Link. Thanks

Google Changing the Title Tag to Your Brand
A while back google started changing our title tags to have our name in it, which was great and reasonable for the most part. We recently ran into a problem with it as we have some properties on our site that fall under a dba. Here is the example. Title tag: Kolea- Waikoloa Vacation Rentals
Branding | | RobDalton
Kolea is a vacation rental community is a resort called Waikoloa. Waikoloa Vacation Rentals is our company name and www.waikoloavacationrentals.com is our company site. Here is the problem:
Title tag: Hualalai Resort- Waikoloa Vacation Rentals
Hualalai is a completely different place than Waikoloa and we do business in there as Hualalai Vacation Rentals, but keep our properties on our www.waikoloavacationrentals.com site rather than microsites. How can you let google know that what they are doing is incorrect for specific pages? Thanks,0 -
Google + Circles
This question is so elementary, I'm almost embarrassed to ask it. I am having trouble directing potential followers/friends to Circle us on our Google+ business page. People add to my personal profile page instead, the result of which, i am not building up Circles for my business while I am building my personal profile which i don't care about. I have made personal requests, used our logo on my personal page header saying "Gina Fiedel representing (business name)" and "Visit our Google+ business page", etc. I feel like I'm missing something. Has anyone found any sort of magic bullet for this? Thanks!!

Page 1 Rankings, but not increase in traffic, contact form requests or calls
I am very frustrated. I have achieved page one rankings on Google, Bing and Yahoo for highly relevant keywords and phrases. The keywords I am ranking on page one for are the same ones competitors are targeting and working well for them. I am interested in any feedback as to what could possibly be the cause for not receiving much traffic? I mean I am getting page 1, everyone I talk to says the sites are beautiful....Very confused. Now in the various keyword tools the do show that the various keywords receive anywhere from 25-250 searches per month, but those tools i find highly innacurate when performing a local campaign...oh yeah, these are all local campaigns i am talking about. Do I need to pursue paid marketing, PPC, or something. I always thought organic rankings were the way to go. Also, unfortunatly i am not able to divulge the URLs or concern due to client confidentiality issues. Thank you very much in advance for any insight:) I will send the URL's privately to anyone that is willing to take a look at things

Has anyone had success with product page rel=author? Can I protect the content but dump the face on the SERPS?
Hi, Is there a way to get the benefits of rel=author for protecting site content but to disconnect that from the face photo on the SERPS? We added rel=author to our unique and individually written product descriptions and reviews. This has led to a decrease in click thru thus far. I suspect this is because when searching for a product to buy the user sees the face and thinks "review" or at least "not corporate". I don't nec. want to dump rel=author in the sea yet for our ecom pages, has anyone had success with product page rel=author? Four our keywords, we are the only company of 10 well known travel sites that have the face in the SERPS, far from improving our CTR, it has trashed it. Any ideas?

Google Places, Optimization when in the Suburb of a Metroplex?
A client's business just recently changed addresses. Even though they are physically less than a mile from the previous location, the city has changed. This has resulted in our Google Places results dissappearing (no surprise). What is the best practice for people searching for <product><metroplex-primary-city>to still get our Google Places result, even though we are technically in a suburb of this metroplex?</metroplex-primary-city></product> Already added the primary city name to the description. What else can I do?
