Setting redirects to your G+ pages instead of using URL shorteners
I've only recently made a business page on Google +
IMO the best way to get people to your business page is via a ".htaccess" redirect.
1.
Log into your Google acct.
2.
Use "as" your business page.
3.
Right click the URL on your profile name to get the permalink for your page (I can't believe how many times I overlooked that!).
The user ID in the URL will vary - mine is used as the example below so you can see it work if you want before doing similar.
4.
Create a new text file and paste in
your version of the below:
Code:
RedirectPermanent /+ https://plus.google.com/u/0/b/101297046959825217088/101297046959825217088
5.
Then upload it to your root directory on the server (or save your updated file).
6.
Then when you visit this address "YourWebsiteHere.com.au/+" on your domain, you'll be redirected to your business brand page on Google +
7.
In my case, the example above can be seen by visiting
FarCool.com/+
IMO it's more logical and brandworthy than standardising on a URL shortener.
Hope that's valuable to someone here, cheers, Ben
