Google Plus SEO Audit

Update: 8 January 2013

Somebody at Google has decided to use more rel=”nofollow” throughout Google+ and here’s an example:

nofollow-plus

URL within the post is nofollow, comment URL is nofollow, comment poster URL is nofollow (that was always like that) and the shared post URL is also nofollow.

 

YouTube Wants Your Real Name

YouTube now wants to know your real identity, not just your nickname. In efforts to create a ‘single unified product’ Google is self-canonicalising at every possible step and this is just one of them.

While editing one of my recent videos, I was offered to used my real name instead of my YouTube nickname:

youtube-screenshot-step-1

As you can see my real identity was sourced from Google+ (which is known to reject profiles with made up names).

 

Are Google’s Social Reports Inaccurate?

In our latest observed case, Google+ reported only 25% of the +1′s on the page we monitored. 

Is this a bug?

Navigate to Traffic > +1 Reports > Activity > All +1′s and you will see something like this:

Social Data

We recently had a sudden surge of +1′s for that particular URL and expected a more dramatic jump in the cumulative +1 graph.
