Hashtag in url seems to remove the google plus one
-
My site has a catalogue page (catalog in US) with #anchors so that customers can get straight to them.
I even link from other pages to the #anchor on the catalogue page.
so I have for example:
www.example.co.uk/catalogue.htm
www.example.co.uk/catalogue.htm#blueitems
www.example.co.uk/catalogue.htm#redtems
I understand google doesn't index after the #, here is the post I found: http://moz.com/community/q/hashtag-anchor-text-within-content#reply_91192
So I shouldn't have an seo problem.
BUT, if I navigate to www.example.co.uk/catalogue.htm and plusone the page it will show the plusone and then I navigate to www.example.co.uk/catalogue.htm#blueitems the plus one is gone. The same happens in reverse, if i plusone www.example.co.uk/catalogue.htm#redtems, then that plusone doesn't show in www.example.co.uk/catalogue.htm.
I added rel=canonical and that fixed the plusone problem, now if you plus one /catalogue.htm#redtems it still shows on catalogue.htm
This seems a bit extreme and did I do the right things??

Looks good to me, you used rel=canonical for the right purpose. Good job.

Looks like it's good. I have the same problem with Facebook, so I added the url in the FB embed code but Google does it automatically.
You're fine :).
