Rel=author: inactive google+ better than no authorship?

[lcourse]

some doubts about implementing rel=author:

1. I have no google+ account so far and I have no intention to start activities in google+. Shall I still add rel=author and create a new empty google+ account (without google+ activity but using gmail) or would you recommend rather not to add rel=author in this case?

2. I have 2 sites ranking in top10 SERP for my targeted keyword. One online shop and on another domain a non-commercial site with information on the topic. Would you rather associate same or different google+ accounts (from different people) with these two sites for both rel=author and rel=publisher?

thanks.

you're missing the bus man time to get on it

Why would you not ever want to use Google+  you need it for local and it's been a stream your stuff anyway which would most likely unless you set it not to. Take away from you in what way? why would you not want more publicity?

you should assign a different Google plus account to each domain. Simply by registering with Google you can do that effectively and then I would actually make a business page for your business on Google plus. I don't know why you don't care to do so it is only getting bigger and Google loves Google so I would strongly recommend you post away on Google plus under 2 different domain names.
