Lost with Google services: place, Google +, page, youtube ...?
-
Hello MOoooooooooooooz !
Sorry to add another post on this. But I think most of us agree on the fact that for Google +, Google is not making very good job. Even worst when we know how low is the engagement on this website.
Now I'm facing the following issue: Multi page and accounts through Google services !
One of my customer is playing music. So she has a google + profil and a youtube.
Now we created the same for her website: A google page and then a google place (Google team has been sending hundred of messages and so far has not merge them).
Then I opened a youtube for the Google Page. So i end up with:
- A Google + Profil for her (we use for the authorship)
- A Goole + profil for her website (we use for the SEO)
- A Google place page (we use for maps SEO)
- A youtube account for her (come with gmail)
- A youtube channel for her (easier to promote her job)
- A youtube channel automatically created through the Google + page (2)
What would you do in this case to:
- Get 1 Google page
- Get 1 youtube channel
I would like something easy to use even for youtube download or reviews and sharing. So I do not know which one to keep, etc ...
Hope you can help me as I'm sure many of us faced the same issue.

Hello !
Tks for your return. I was thinking the same to separate both personal and professional accounts. My concern was to make something easy for people to use.
I was also bit lost between the personnel channel and the Google page channel.
I gonna try to close all the one not in used.
Best regards

Hi there,
If you get no response from Google to merge the accounts, consider creating definitions for the two different pages.
• One Personal account for Youtube, email, Google+ (socially)
• One work account to manage her music.As recommended below, the pre-existing account should become a work account. Particularly in the music industry as I understand how difficult this is to get a foothold in.
So separating your 6 points, 1, 4 can be used personally. 2, 3 and 5 should be used for work.
Is point #6 even required to be updated at all then? Can it just be left blank leaving less work overall?
Hope I can provide some insight and best of luck!

You would need to consider in this case, which Google+ page and YouTube channel to use. I don't think you would be able to merge them together, but you would be able to choose which YouTube channel you would like to link with your Google+ page.
If your client is a singer, it would be better to be using the YouTube account that she is currently uploading her videos to and linking it to the Google+ page. If she has not uploaded any videos, then using the channel automatically created through the Google+ page would save you some trouble.
As for the Google+ page, you should be using the one tied to the website. Authorship won't be that important for your client unless she is planning on writing content regularly. Using the one that is already optimised for SEO would be the wiser choice.
My 2 cents worth!

Authorship Implementation - Is it needed to place Rel='Publisher' on every page on eCommerce
Hi, On my eCommerce site I've placed rel='publisher' only on the homepage and rel='author' on all of the article pages. Is that the way to do it? Do I need to add rel='publisher' also on the article pages besides for rel='author'? P.S

Even though I placed rel='publisher' only on the homepage, when I use Google's test tool (http://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/richsnippets) I see my publisher ID also on product category pages (that don't have publisher nor author on them but do have regular +1 buttons). How is that? (bacuase of the +1 button)1 -
Google+ buttom
Hello everybody 🙂 Is it possible to implement a Google+ button where if you press on it, it gives a particular Google+ page a plus? Because as I can see, it is only possible to implement a Google+ button, which when you pressed the'll give the given page/post you are on a plus. For example, I added a Google+ button in the footer here http://guard.dk/services/event-natklub-sikkerhed/ (see here: http://screencast.com/t/a045Uen7KEVO). But if you press it, you give just the page you are on a plus. But I'd like to see you give the website Google+ page: https://plus.google.com/u/0/+GuardISSkanderborg/posts a plus. That means that Google+ page then will have 32 pluses. It should act in exactly the same way as the Facebook like next to the Google+ button. Hope there is someone who understands what I mean, and can help.

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?

Page Speed and Social sharing bookmarks - how to balance
I've been having some challenges on my page load times and am in process of addressing. Some of the issues are my pictures(so I'm in process of condensing), but part of the issue (according to pingdom.com) is my social sharing. I was using 1 click retweet, and when I changed this to Sexy bookmarks, it seemed to improve. But, I'm wondering 2 things: 1. Do you guys have any recos on which plugin is best to use and takes least time to load (I'm not sure if this is contraditory). My priority is G+/Tw/FB. 2. On my sexybookmarks, it's strange because visually, the plugin is not showing up correctly. Where the G+ button should be, it's invisible. Ironically it works, if I click on it, but a normal person is not going to realize it's there. Any suggestions? In case it helps, my site is TheFlooringGirl.com. I don't think the plugin shows up there, but it does show up at the bottom of all of my blog posts. Thx. I appreciate any guidance you can provide.

Open Graph Tags Being Spidered By Google?
Do Facebook Open Graph tags get spidered by Google? I have a site I'm looking at and they've implemented these tags on the entire site, but with the same title and description on every page. I'm assuming if you use these tags, give each page their own unique tags. But do these have an effect on rankings at all? Does googlebot see them and take them into account?

Google does not index individual facebook posts often?
It looks like google (regular organic) does not index individual posts from facebook pages often, more likely the wall of the page itself or separate pages. Can someone confirm this?
