Is it okay to have different gmail ids for Google plus and Google webmaster tools?

[SunitaBiddu]

It was good until I have had this new website where Google plus has got an active account but under different id and the site has got its analytics and webmaster tools account set under another id.  If I simply verify the site, will it be able to track authorship and social signals?

Your opinions, help and guidance will be appreciated

Hi Sunita

That shouldn't be a problem, as authorship works on a page by page basis, rather than the whole domain.  That means any verified G+ profile can post on any page on the web.  Social signals are attributed to the domain and not the author, so again there's no problem there.

Remember, you can always add extra users to both a G+ business page and an analytics or webmasters account, so if you want to give other people access, you can.  You can also control how much access they have.

Hope this helps.

You won't have any issues with this. Most SEO's don't use the same account for webmasters and analytics as they do google+, docs or other things. Google can cope just fine with it.

As tom says you can now add users within g+ brand pages and GWT, this is a good way to say these are all connected - you've also been able to do this for a while with analytics.
