SO glad you figured it out, Jan Green!  I recently tweaked my G+ too and found some 'odd' settings that I think the gremlins set because I certainly didn't!  

The extent of my direct involvement with Google+ is to link my ActiveRain posts there and I never check it beyond that.  

Lots of changes to SEO have occurred over the years due to the numerous domain changes here on AR.

Thanks for the suggestion Jan

I wasn't aware of any changes but will definitely go check on this. Thanks for the heads-up, Jan

I quit posting G+ during the turbulent times ZT/AR ..

I honestly never use my G+, I have it, it's current, but I'm never called to it by folks, seems to be a Facebook, LinkedIn World in my neck of the woods.

Good tip on the broken links though.

Thanks for the heads up. I didn't realize the photos disappeared during the ZT transition.

I went back and in the 2015 blogs that were on activerain.trulia.com are dead links.

Great catch. 

I wonder if leaving them on still generates any value? I mean...can their be any value in a dead link?

     Thanks for the heads up.  I haven't posted on G+ in a long time, but my account is still active.

Have not noticed this... but I don't post to Google+ from Active Rain in any event.

Thanks for sharing and will check mine.

Havent used Google+ in some time

I have never used this before

Thanks, I was not there during  that time e but need to clean. Up old stuff.

Let us know if your hits go up with house cleaning.  All I know those millionaires (AR) have their similar blogs removed because there are so many simliar topics.  They actually get penalized. Lately mine seem to have all disappeared. 

Thanks for your post, I'm going to bookmark this.

I had not noticed however I will check it out.  I am not 100% consistent with sharing on G+. I like posts to index first then share there.  Sometimes I don't get back to sharing there. Thanks for letting us know.

I never do shares.....I write original posts or copy and paste....

Jan,

Thank you for letting us know.  We stopped posting on Google plus.  I did not pay for us to do so.  A

Have not.

Jan,

can you post a link to your G profile? 

I'd be happy to connect there and maybe learn how you make your phone ring:) 

good read

Never noticed or paid attention!

thank you

G+ has changed its format a few times and I have to admit that I haven't kept up.

Well yes it's really a big mistake that it's not public. I don't know the need for deleting old posts there except if the links are broken. That part, you're not too clear on.

AR never auto posted on G+ so you have to do it yourself. Could it be that you never noticed it was 'private'?

I have not noticed.

Thanks for the alert. I think Google is moving away from G+

Thanks for the heads up, I will take a look.

Marc Swartz, CPA, CA, Real Estate Broker  nailed this one!

Not advanced enough to know exactly what you mean Jan Green I do have G+ but if you are willing to give me some hands on help some time it would be appreciated :-Dave

So glad you found your solution to get the phone ringing again. Usually I embrace change but lately on internet sites it seems to make for chaos rather than progess.

Jan Green - hmmm deleting old posts! That will be too much of work.

G makes changes all the time without notice - it's our job to stay on top of their crap all the time

Interesting.  I'll have to hunt through my profiles and verify they're not switched over.
