It's Time To Create Your Google+ Profile

[Tubby]

I should like to point out at this point that only a true idiot knows that nothing is idiot proof.

This is one fact in the universe of knowledge that I am confident about.

But adding a rel="author" tag is the investment of very trivial resources.

Agreed. So, to return to the point "It's Time To Create Your Google+ Profile". - Google+ should not be ignored.

Didn't you mean "only a true idiot denies that 'nothing is idiot proof'"?

No. I refuse to do idiot proof and simple anymore. It makes people lazy and creates better idiots...

Didn't you mean "creates worse idiots"? (Thanks for the links -- the info there isn't too hard!)

NO! . . I wrote what I meant.

Didn't you mean "creates worse idiots"?

Probably ditto.

If Google Plus does not work well, and most use Facebook instead, how is G+ better than FB?

what do you mean? do you think g+ will have less users....,, please check with the statistics

Did you check the statistics?

Not only does Facebook have many more users than does Google+, Google+ activity is a pittance of that of Facebook and showing no sign of improvement.

I have a Google + account. Google has already indicated that data coming against Google + button is going to be a ranking factor on Google. Large number of clicks on your google + button that will boost your website rankings on Goolge search. Google + is an important platform for businesses.

No, they haven't. In fact, they have said the opposite. It's too easily gamed, especially with people using the +1 system to view content. There are sites out there where you are required to click the +1 button just to see the content, not after you see it. This sort of doorway process makes using it as a ranking factor worthless.

G + is really so beneficial? I have an account and frankly I have not found much advantage ... perhaps in Italy (i'm italian) still does not work well ...

Well its not sure that it will help everyone to grab traffic, strategy also does matters. If you are targeting your audience and putting them inside your circles and after that posting unique and relevant information to them then naturally Google+ will drive traffic for you.

Why "naturally?"

Given that the demographics and usage patterns of the G+ user base are conspicuously different from those of the on-line population as a whole, why assume that their buying habits will not also be markedly different for the worse?
