  Ha thanks Anne. I’ve got a lot of work to do with these videos I’ve got a list of about 10 things to do differently next time!

Hey Dan, that’s a really interesting point about getting people to follow you back on Google+. I guess since it’s still new people are more likely to follow you back, suggesting it’s a technique that should be used sooner rather than later.

I think in addition to following people it can be helpful to use the “View Ripples” feature of Google+. It allows you to see who has reshared posts which can help you target additional authorities.

There is a detailed post at SEOmoz about how to use ripples http://www.seomoz.org/blog/using-google-plus-ripples-to-connect-with-influencers

  Hey Daniel yeah I think that’s probably right re Google+. That’s an interesting point re the ripples, I haven’t looked at Google+ too much but I must admit the way they have me following people, commenting etc all via Gmail I’m getting more and more involved.
