We are thinking about using our Google+ brand page to curate relevant news from different sources and organize them in Collections.
We are confident that we can generate backlinks, followers, and engagement with this strategy. My fear is to suffer some penalty due to the fact that will not be sharing our own content. We will be redirecting the clicks to the website of the owner of the content; using Start a Fire tracking links (https://startafire.com/).
Since I am not aware of any Google+ brand page that executed this curated news strategy with success, I decided to post this question.
Our goal is to get high ranks for our Google+ brand page for searches to our brand name and for the name of the Collections.
BTW, our curated news posts will be automated.
