Google Pus Places, page and youtube issues. PLEASE HELP!!!
-
Ok I have a youtube channel, a page connected to that and I have a business listing but I cannot get all three to work together. Any ideas?
https://plus.google.com/+CentralsaddleryCoUk is the page (I want to ad the location to this one)
http://www.youtube.com/user/centralsaddleryvideo our youtube
The two above seem to work fine but the local listing below will not connect to the page or youtube.
https://plus.google.com/b/107598085314018001171/107598085314018001171/about?hl=en-GB
This has been driving me nuts for ages.

Hi Mark,
No, not stupid at all. Integration of Google's products is definitely a work in progress that has left tons of people confused! I hope the TCs in the Google forum may have some guidance for you. Good luck, and if you get an answer, I'd appreciate you coming back to update this thread with what you've learned.

I'm glad its not just me being stupid. I really want to make Google plus work for my business but Google seems set on making it hard for us.
Ill ask on the google forums. i already had a look but found nothing useful.
It just seems crazy that you can't combine every to have a neat and tidy setup.

Hi Mark,
No wonder this is driving you nuts. I'm not sure what you want to do can currently be done, and I've spent the last ten minutes trying to find recent documentation of this and am coming up without clear guidelines. It would be super if someone within our community has recently accomplished what Mark wants to do and can describe the process, or describe that it's not possible.
Mark, given the lack of apparent documentation of this from recent times, I think your best bet is to post your question in the Google And Your Business Forum in hopes that one of the TCs there will be able to dig up something that offers guidance here. Go to:
http://productforums.google.com/forum/#!forum/business
This is a search I did. Maybe you'll see something in it that I didn't notice:
http://productforums.google.com/forum/#!searchin/business/youtube$20and$20google$2B$20local
You might also try:
https://plus.google.com/u/0/s/google%2B local youtube
I hope this offers some help, and I'm sorry not to have a clear document to point you to. It could be that I'm simply unaware of it.

How to optimise Youtube videos
Hello Mozers I have four individual 'Benefits' videos on our companies Youtube channel. Three describe individual benefits and one is a composite of all three. All the videos have an audio script to accompany the visuals. I have been asked to optimise these videos and so far I have added: Title, Description and tags within the 'Info & Setting' section for each video. However I am sure that I should be adding more information to optimise these videos more completely. I have the audio transcript in written form and have a hunch I should be adding the relevant audio transcript to each video. Currently in the section 'Add new subtitles on CC' I have 'Published' 'English (Automatic), which is an approximation of the actual script. Could anyone point me to a resource which clearly shows how to accurately add subtitles to a video. Is it just a case of cutting and pasting and manually timing, or is there a slicker way of adding the text? Thanks Catherine

Shortcut Link and Referral domain in Google Analytics
Hello, One of my clients has a Facebook page for his company, and his social media manager posts some promotional and educational posts on daily basis. the social media manager uses affiliate ID's in the destination URL to track traffic and leads that come from the social media and to make it look nicer he uses shortcut links service - bitly. Now I have a few questions about this: I don't see traffic comes from bit.ly or bitly.com in Google Analytics, my question: is using 301 redirect makes Google Analytics understand that the last website which sent the traffic to my website is not the actual Referral website? Is using shortcut links in the social media damages the links value (even though they are <nofollow>links - but still considered as signals from social media</nofollow> Thanks. LorS1nd.jpg

Gain Access to Google+ Profile
We are having trouble accessing a Google+ profile for a client. We know the profile we want to gain access to, but the client doesn't remember the email or password. The marketing company they worked with before also doesn't know what the email or password is to claim the profile. We have tried contacting Google to gain access to the email, but they were unable to give us the login email due to privacy issues. If you have any suggestions to gain access to this profile, it is greatly appreciated. Please take in mind the following: We do not know the email nor have access to obtaining it We do know the profile we want to gain access to

Setting up Google + Business Pages for Multiple Clients
I am looking at setting up several of my clients with Google Plus pages for their businesses. What's the best practice for doing this? Should I have a separate Google Account for each and set up the Business Page under that account? Are you allowed to have multiple Google Accounts manage a single Business Page - i.e., can I turn it over to the business without having to relinquish my control or give them access to the account I made? Any good tutorials on getting started with this? Thanks! Tom

Does adding your google plus page help stop scrapping
I have created a site that has 100 percent original content in my business category. I have written over 100 articles myself that not only to help me rank, but most important to help the use find the right anwser to their search. I didn't farm out not one sentence of any of the content. With that said how do I prevent others from scrapping my site for this info and using it as their own. 1. Is there something to add to each page code wise that will lead them back to my site. 2. Does using the google plus help this situation in that google thinks it's yours and treats the others as duplicate content. 3. I dont mind placing this info on other sites as long as the readers know its mine. Sorry to ask such a noob question but I have spent all my time on the content and really know nothing about the coding side of things. Any help would be great. thanks

Google Plus for Website - Should the button be available on the homepage or just blog posts and other sticky content?
I am trying to understand if I should add the Google +1 button to my client's homepages in addition to "sticky" content. Any insight here would be greatly appreciated.
