To use or not to use Google +

    Hi!
    I am thinking of putting together a social media plan for an online publication. So it is not a person, but a magazine. I am using of course FB, twitter and going on Instagram. Google + is now ranking second after Facebook, still, are the users valuable enough for a magazine?

    How did you experience it so far and how do you see its future prospective?

    Cheers!

    Yes, Google Plus is profitable as Google will give preference to it.

    You get some benefits in SEO too so there is no harm if you use Google+

    The community opinion is that if Facebook launch their own Search Engine it may outrank Google Search Engine..
    According to us if they launch their Search Engine - it will work "as good" ad good is the Google interface..

    I mean that Google has good SE but bad UX & UI and FB has great UX&UI but bad SE

    So just imagine mixing together :D

    Its an opportunity for you to build a community in Google + which can expand the connections that you have in the social media arena. It can give your business more chance to be found in search engines, especially Google.

    Use it. Of course it will take time to get a decent following or to develop a large community, but one you do, it can become a very valuable source of traffic.

    Google + is must have, I think, besides, you add Authorship tag that increases traffic, but anyway +1 don't have any influence on search ranking. So Google+ is one of the way to reach target audience.
