How do i change primary mail in Google?
-
By a mistake, Google have added on of our employeers gmail as the primary mail, that are attached to our YouTube channel.
We want to delete that gmail, but without loosing our data, and all the information we have on our channel.
We also want to connect to G+ with a new gmail, but now it seems that Google have created a G+ profile related to the "wrong" gmail.
Have anyone got experience with this problem, and have a solution for this?

Unfortunately, as far as I'm aware - there is no way to fix this.
Google have started to move YouTube towards having a Google+ integration and this really hasn't been kept simple for those with a "corporate account" who don't want to tie the channel to a specific email or person.
one assumes they will eventually provide a way for you to fix this, but it may involve changing to a paid YouTube account of some sorts better aligned with a business than an individual.
So, sorry, no I don't think you can fix it - but I feel your pain!

Im not able to change my primary email from there, and thats the problem.
I can only change primary email by deleting it, and im afraid that will erase alot of content on my YouTube channel.

You can change your email on Youtube and then connect to your G+ account from there.
In settings underneath name on Youtube - can link from there, just make sure you change the email first to the one you want to link with...

What are your experiences with Google+?
Hi all, It would be great to hear about your experiences with Google+. We've tried a few times to use it in the hope that it might give us a hand in SEO terms but it has been utterly painful. Not only because the UI is almost impossible to figure out, but because engagement is essentially 0. Perhaps we're doing something wrong. How has it gone for you? Ross

Can I change URL structure and maintain social signals?
I have recently updated an area of our website that had lots of content and some great social signals such as tweets, pins and facebook likes. The URL structure has changed and URLs have been redirected, but I'm wondering if we have now lost all the social signals? No pins, likes etc show on lots of popular content since the URLs have changed. Is there any way to preserve these or are they lost forever? Thanks in advance

Lost with Google services: place, Google +, page, youtube ...?
Hello MOoooooooooooooz ! Sorry to add another post on this. But I think most of us agree on the fact that for Google +, Google is not making very good job. Even worst when we know how low is the engagement on this website. Now I'm facing the following issue: Multi page and accounts through Google services ! One of my customer is playing music. So she has a google + profil and a youtube. Now we created the same for her website: A google page and then a google place (Google team has been sending hundred of messages and so far has not merge them). Then I opened a youtube for the Google Page. So i end up with: A Google + Profil for her (we use for the authorship) A Goole + profil for her website (we use for the SEO) A Google place page (we use for maps SEO) A youtube account for her (come with gmail) A youtube channel for her (easier to promote her job) A youtube channel automatically created through the Google + page (2) What would you do in this case to: Get 1 Google page Get 1 youtube channel I would like something easy to use even for youtube download or reviews and sharing. So I do not know which one to keep, etc ... Hope you can help me as I'm sure many of us faced the same issue.

Google manual penalty?
Is it possible to receive a manual penalty on just 2 keywords (or any penalty for that matter) from Google but receive no message in GWT? I am going to give a lot of information here, in the hopes that it will be helpful. My apologies if it's too long. Some of you who are here a lot, may remember my panicked questions in early January. I have learned a ton since then but I still haven't fully solved our mystery and one of the questions that remains is if perhaps one can receive a penalty for particular keywords only and not receive any messages. Our company name, company name.com and company name + location is still coming up #1. We also still have a couple of other keywords at #4 and #7 so it seems our site wasn't penalized. My over-zealousness with the keyword usage on our Home page was pointed out to me here in the forum by Dr. Pete so I made some significant changes on that back in January and continue to tweak although I'm afraid at this point, to do too much that may cause us to lose ranking in the last two good keywords...Meanwhile, our listings on Bing and Yahoo are great and mostly continue to go up. Back Story: We had a huge drop in the SERPS for a particular set of keywords that I feel are our most critical, at the end of December 2012 after being #3 for over a decade. We had a smaller drop in October, that worried me and I worked on the on-page and brought it back to #7 sometime in Nov or early Dec and then it disappeared to "not in top 50". I believe I overdid it. I also got a lot of great advice and leads from Mike Tek and have been having a blast being engaged in reading, learning, following, commenting. I believe I have created some good content since January by creating a company blog and adding posts regularly- 19 so far. I have also gotten some reviews on Yelp, claimed more local listings, worked on our Google+ page, joined Communities, have been promoting our blog posts on FB, Linkedin, Twitter, Google+. We are very short in the inbound link department and I have yet to activate solutions on that score, (and sadly, the majority of our links are in client footers as we are a web design company and I don't think we should remove them without being sure they've hurt us). I am at the point of looking for some help for hire for link building as I am realizing my own limitations.

Twitter Username Change / Character length
Hi Re: Changing Twitter Usernames/Character Length Issues: To improve the branding of a clients Twitter username I'm about to change clients 11 character Twitter username which currently is half brand name plus a number i.e. @halfbrand99 to a full brand name plus regional suffix i.e. @fullbrandnameuk (since brand name alone not available) totalling 16 characters. I know Twitter usernames should be as short as possible but think more important to maintain consistent brand identity across all social platforms. I have already changed the page profile name to brand name, included brand name in bio and linked to site in bio but not sure whether to change the username or not too ? Whats your opinion ? It doesnt matter, leave as is since shorter better re: character limits and rest of profile well branded OR Better to change to longer branded username for consistent brand identity ? Note: I will be setting up new profile for old username to catch and divert any peeps using old username etc Cheers Dan
