Still think Google+ doesn't matter?
My 17 top Google+ posts earned 1813 clicks in Google's organic search results over 3 months.
Imagine if I was a big brand. Imagine if I posted more than once a day. How many visits could I drive? How many people would view my identity?
The amazing thing is this was organic search traffic - people looking for something specific and Google sent them my way!

Does depend on whether your target audience are on Google+...Sep 14, 2013
Its also how much traffic you are sending to other sites, so if you just shared your own content this might be a far higher numberSep 14, 2013
+Doug Roberts But if my audience can find me in the SERP´s it might be that I may publish on Google+ and they find me through the SERPS´s in Google? Dont you think this will be possible?Sep 14, 2013
Yes, +David Iwanow Sharing is the heart of google+ Without sharing a Google+ page wont have any success in the SERP´s - is that right?Sep 14, 2013
+Kevin von Duuglas-Ittu agreed, cost was certainly one of the big questions. I was surprised by the answer on the time requirement and now want to learn to be as fast Cyrus. I do want to add that I did not think Cyrus was suggesting this was to be an argument for using Google+ over blogging but rather an argument for using Google+ at all. I will leave that to +Cyrus Shepard to confirm but that was my take at least and why I compared this to alternative investments like PPC. That said, I'd be interested in knowing the typical click thru rate of an average blog, does anyone know that?Sep 14, 2013
Really interesting stuff. I need to spend some more time looking at this! It has got me thinking now ! (and thats what I normally get others to do when working !)Sep 16, 2013
