    I use it, but I'm not massively into it. I don't find that much value in it personally, but it does provide you with a follow for any blog posts you publish, which is always a bonus! As a brick-and-mortar operation, a Google+ Business Page is useful as it provides more rich information about your business in search results.

    A must use social network to improve your outreach. It takes 10 seconds to share all of your new blog posts, or YouTube videos on Goole Plus. The network is owned by Google, so it's likely to have a positive impact on your site SEO. Plus (no pun intended), it takes almost no time to set up.

    You may not get massive results with Google Plus. For how little time it takes to include, it would silly not to add it into your social networks for outreach.

    When G+ pages were ranking in Google, everyone were expecting huge response from G+ specially in future but with latest algo change, where Google decrease G+ value & accept G+ as a failure. I would argue to spend less time on it. Google is reducing its value so I would say, better to spend time somewhere else.

      Why google is decreasing the value of G, my working experience tells me one thing that is, if I have good follower on a page or profile, then I get huge traffic from here.

    Google+, wordpress, blogger is the best blog source for you to get some traffic for your site, of course, you must be sure that the content is specific,and unique. what i know is wordpress, and blogger, i have posted 6 articles in two weeks, in the blogger, i can view that the visitor is increasing everyday, but the wordpress is no one, i have asked this confusion for some seo experts, all of them have provide some tactics for me to increase the amount of visitor, and also think that wordpress is the best, so if want to get more traffic for your site, i strongly suggest you use wordperss and blogger, doing an excellent seo is really long time and wasting job. if you have any confusion, welcome to leave a private message to me.

    The posts and links you share in your google plus profile get index quickly and show up in search results. So its important to use it.

    In my opinion Google+ is made for everyone and every kind of business. If you happen to have a blog that you write yourself it's even better. If you happen to have contributors to your blog, this will benefit you as well.

    I think G+ is great but I wouldn't focus on it now as Google does seem to be reducing its influence.

    On one of my pages I've had over 20 million views ( in a year and a half ) and I'll get a few hundred likes on everything I post. As I have a few pages ( not quite as popular ) this can work pretty well as a traffic strategy.

    Reasons why I think influence is diminishing:
    Ripples removed
    There isn't a direct link to Google plus on your home Google search page any more
    No longer need G+ to post comments on Youtube
    Google Photos has been removed from G+

    Circloscope is an invaluable tool for anyone serious about Google plus.
