Is it a good idea to directly post content on google+ business page instead of sharing (adding) the link of a blog written by us?
Right now, the blog cannot be setup in the website. So, will posting informative content on google+ business page will be a good idea?
Dear
Maybe suggest to your client its done on a sub domain and even hosted elsewhere so blog.yourdomain.com
This have a couple of benefits, firstly google will know the blog is part of the site so credit it with the new content.
But one other thing is that if the blog is hosted elsewhere should there be a problem with the main site for what ever reason the blog would still function giving you a way to communicate with your users.
Its always nice to have a fallback solution and maybe offering them that might help.
good luck
Posting content to G+ is good idea. But you have more control on your own blog. Let's imagine some scenarios: 1. Google shuts down Google+. 2. Your content don't meets Google policy.

I have a private business Twitter account and I would like to know when someone clicks any link inside one of my posts. This solution cannot assume that we know the form of the link being posted.
For example a twitter post like this:
Have you guys heard of this amazing site called google?
I would like to see how many people clicked on this google.com link. I don't need to know any specific information about who they are, just if it was clicked or not.
Ideally I would want this from the API but crawlers and plugins are also possible. I would like to avoid using a paid tool but those would be acceptable.
I think you have multiple choices:
Use google firebase or google analytics
Create your own short link services by python or any other programming languages.
Just search in the google and look for short link generators which gives appropriate service.
Hi using the twitter api you should be able to understand how many clicks a link has.

But to have all this info automated you might need to use a third-party tool.
This should be the most straight forward solution.
I am currently running a website where I promote different coffees from pubs in my city. On my website I have links to the different coffees.
I have recently seen some of this links being shared on Facebook and other social networks.
So I was wondering if it is somehow possible to track how often one of this links are being clicked?
I have tried using redirects to my site but Facebook uses my pictures in the previews, whereas I don't want this because it is misleading.
I have seen that this works with Bitly so it must somehow be possible?
And there are of course different services providing this, but it would be nice if it would run without any foreign services.
So basically I am looking for a solution which will let me know how often a link, origination from my site was clicked in Facebook, Google+ or any other forum.
There definitely is. Try looking into Google Analytics, it will show you show much data from your personal websites and links that it can blow your mind! Here is the link
Google Analytics helps you analyze visitor traffic and paint a
complete picture of your audience and their needs. Track the routes
people take to reach you and the devices they use to get there with
reporting tools like Traffic Sources. Learn what people are looking
for and what they like with In-Page Analytics. Then tailor your
marketing and site content for maximum impact.
You can even get a free package to use!
Hope this helps!
Yes you have plenty of analytical options.
Something as straight forward as Google Analytics for example.
If you are using cpanel on your hosts server, you even have options such as AWSTATS, which will also provide information.
If all else fails you can even use post data stored in your apache / nginx logs.
Since you have amended your question you might want to check out this tool. It is not google. :)
It is called Click Meter and performs Link Tracking and provides click reports, etc
Twitter offers 'web intents' that are an alternative to OAuth access to their API. Basically, this provides a less feature rich experience, but can still be quite handy. User clicks on 3rd parts websites can create popup windows that check whether the user is logged in to twitter and if they are, allows them to us some Twitter features such as tweeting, retweeting, or following users.
My question is, how could I go about implementing an API like this? Are there tutorials or libraries? I'm not sure what technologie(s) power web intents or where I should start searching.
Thanks.
You can read more about web intents at webintents.org and read the W3C's draft spec. As far as I know, web intents are still somewhat of a new beast on the web and they have not been standardized.
Still, you may want to read this blog which contains a few examples of registering web intents and check out Paul Kinlan's git repo https://github.com/PaulKinlan/WebIntents
Hope that helps you get started.
As I have seen lots of rich snippets markup in search result which they have done with there individual (person) Google+ profile. And that's great.
So is it legal or not if I used my Google+ business brand profile for the same.
Please have look at the Google+ profile for more information

Thanks in advance.
I suspect you are talking about the author mark-up that can cause a Google+ provide to be added to a search results.
AFAIK business pages are not currently displayed in rich snippets.
You can define your Google+ business page as the publisher for your website. Maybe in the future this could cause rich snippets.

Of course it's legal. It's just that people are getting used to seeing real faces, and that's what I suspect most people are going to want to see.

I intend to automatically post an article teaser on a myspace blog when I publish it on another website. Is this possible using one of the official APIs or will I have to get down to the nitty-gritty and do this manually?
I know the "Share on myspace" mechanism, but it does not allow to do blog posts.
I finally found a plugin for the cms b2evolution that should provide enough help to write an own solution. Other suggestions are still welcome.
