      I am in the process of writing a series of blog posts covering one subject in more detail.

      Normally, I would just post my blog posts on my blog, but I have heard and read recently that posting content on Google+ is having very good results.

      So should I post this series exclusively on my Google+ pages instead with a link back to my blog and site or just focus on posting on my blog as I have done before?

      Thanks in advance,

      Peter

        If you want people to visit your Google+ page then post it there.  If you want people visiting your website then post it on your blog.

        Personally, I would be posting it on my website.  Then any visitor, links, likes, tweets will contribute to my site rather than to a Google+ page that I don't control.

          Post on your website, put a snippet and a link on your G+

            I would post the blog on your website but then write an eye-catching summary on G+ with a link back to each of your blog posts after you publish each one.

            I would also mention them on FB and Twitter, etc. and do the same. Not only is this good for SEO, but if you have a high quality blog post, you can generate referral traffic and interest with these posts.

              Ask yourself, who is your audience?  Are they on G+?  If so writing stuff on G+ might be a good idea, however if your audience is not there I would suggest leaving it on your blog.

              In general as well, I agree with EGOL by leaving it on your own website you are leaving the opportunity for the post to be shared not just on G+, but on FB, Twitter, and now even Pinterest.  Only on very special circumstances, would I suggest writing a full-length post on G+.
