Google+'s +1 for business....
-
I'm thinking (and I could be wrong) that eventually the number of people that have +1'd a site will begin to impact search results. After all, it is Google's platform. What are your thoughts on this? And do you know if having someone +1 your site is different than having them "follow" you or add you to their circles? Should a business have more followers or +1's?

This doesn't quite answer the question that's being asked. I'm thinking this would be fairly obvious to Google and wouldn't quite look natural to boot.

I think this would be situational....
Much like Facebook "Likes" you can put a "Like" box that directly makes them a fan, or just a "Like" for the webpage in question.
It really depends on what you use you Facebook/Google+ page as.... Is it purely for SEO purposes or is it a relationship tool?
If it is a relationship tool and you are an established brand i would suggest getting them into your circle/fanbase as this is a more longterm strategy for relationship building as well as Brand Building.
If you use your social media for purely SEO reasons, then the direct webpage would seem to make more sense.
Should a business have more followers or +1's?
Of course you would want both but if a decision needs to be made of which one you need to decide which one will benefit you the most.... It is situational and no blanket answer can really answer this question in my opinion.
w00t!

When you have a chance would you and anyone else you know that has a Gmail account do the following steps:
- Log into your gmail account online at http://www.gmail.com

position, www.cisaz.com/hosting/colocation.php (this is our

Why am I seeing so many referalls to my root domain from Facebook in Google Analytics?
When we look at referalls from Facebook in Google Analytics, more than 50% (and sometimes upwards of 80%) of the traffic we're getting is listed as landing on our root domain. The thing is, we don't have any direct links TO our root domain on our Facebook page. So is this legitimate traffic, and how are they getting to our page if we have no links to it? We do post links to stories, videos, etc, but those are to the individual pages, not to our root domain. When I look at those pages that we link to, they do have traffic numbers, but nothing compared to the root domain. Any thoughts would be helpful. Thanks.

Google Autor Profiles in Big Companies
I work for a big company and they want to use the google autor tag. The goal is to get the rich snippets and better rankings in the future from having a trusworthy autor for each topic building up followers basically. The problem is that the company does not want to pay employees to build up their own autor profiles/trust since an employee could leave the company any time and we would have to start from scratch building another autor profile. Now I know that google only wants real people in google plus bla bla ... bla bla ... How do you guys handle this problem? I thought of having our autors sharing one made up autor profile which is owned by the company.

How fast to post content to Google+
If an established publisher gets started on Google+, is it better to post one or two things a day like a real person would, or is it okay to do a "data dump" and post a ton of articles at once? Does it matter if the account is a brand or personal page? Thanks.
