This unique update is a new community program
that provides top content creators on Google+
recognition and audience. You have to apply to
become part of the Google+ Creator program, but
if you have lots of talent to share this may be the
ideal space for you! Google suggests yor browse
the
featured
Collections
page
(https://plus.google.com/collections/featured) to
explore the breadth and depth of incredible
content already on Google+. This program will
provide inspiring creators resources and benefits
to be even more successful on Google+. With this
new focus Google took a step back from a number
of their core features. Rather than looking at
Google+ as a social network consider it as a
platform for marketing, research, connecting and
exploring. By using Google+ it is possible to
enhance and influence search results for your
brand and fans.
A+ for bringing back the Google+ About section:
One new feature “About” (that was actually part
of the original Google+ platform) is back and this
is great news, especially if you are interested in
marketing and SEO. The About button you will
find on your profile page directly next to the Edit
Box. This is a SEO dream because you can put
hyper links to every web page where people can
find you. This includes your blog, articles, online
news, Twitter account, Facebook pages, Pinterest,
Website. Anyplace tied to you through a URL can
be included in your about page. And don’t forget,
Google is the center of world search.
