Strength of Google+ Backlinks?

will do! - does mlf have a g+ page we can follow?

I meant link back to the actual forum URL, but G+ page wise, I just use the G+ one in my sig. If I create a separate forum page, it will be yet another created page that will languish and wither, unloved and unposted

I think google + backlinks is nofollow surly it will increase CTR but i dont think it would be helpful in getting good ranking or improving the page rank of website.

Just looked in the source code, and can't see any "nofollows"?

Apparently the original thinking behind Google + using 'dofollow' was a tactic designed to attract webmasters to help it compete with Facebook on launch. I.e offer something of interest to get user numbers up. Once it has enough popularity the links will be turned to nofollow.


From what i've read up, on links in the comments have been turned to nofollow (I've not checked), and if that is the case then it will only be a matter of time before all links on G+ follow suit.

If this is the case, then what effect could this have on your site? Will any ranking benefit you have gained from G+ dofollow be stripped if they do turn nofollow?

The strength of Google+ links depends on the authority of the person who is sharing the link.

How so? Because of their popularity on G+ perhaps?

I'd also like to know how this authority is determined?

I have built quite a number of google + backlinks as I thought they couldn't do any harm.

I am working on Google + back links but don't much about it. Tell me something more about it.
