I have heard that g+ to any website/page helps it rank on google. What do you say? besides can you guys say if google+ (recommend) and google+ share mean the same thing?
It will never affect directly on your keyword ranking but you will get some indirectly benefits if you are following G+.
Hi there! Yes it does help but it isnt with keywords or specific factors. Mostly it is just that if you use G+ to engage with people, it can help specially when you share links to your site.
Okay, but in recent google ranking factors, i found that google+( recommend) has 33% share value. That makes the case confusing. :/
For me sharing (tonally neutral, but explicitly social) has clearly lost to liking (with its ring of a personal endorsement). Technically “Recommend” presents most the same as “Like” — it can be read as a fuzzy endorsement. But people most likely hit G+ Recommend because it is with a less forceful "endorsement". I'm not sure if it affects with the rank, probably if you incorporate with your keywords, but it surely helps on engagement and add people on your circle and drive traffic to you website.
The more friends, followers in google plus circle will see your posts when they login Gmail. So, i donot think its a good choice to build link from google+, this is a community where we can connect with fan, friends, after a while the number of friends increase, they would see post and lead to your website naturally.
