Add Google + button link to google page and not link

[AymanH]

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 ?

Hello !

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...

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.

Hello

Thanks for your help (Nathan also by the way ;p)

1. On me company website I added a Google + Plugin.
2. I link this one to my url www.ibremarketing.com
3. 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

Florian

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

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.

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 !

[Cyrus-Shepard]

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 !

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.
