The Anatomy of an Effective Google Plus Image You’ve just written this awesome article on your blog and you set out to promote it to your followers on Google Plus. It’s important to understand the keys to promotion on this platform because it can mean the difference between a ton of traffic and people passing you by. Most people would tell you that when you post to Google Plus, and you’re going to post with a link, then you need to use the “Link” option on Google Plus. Let me clarify.
