How is that I am active on Google Plus? To my surprise, the Google developers invited me to the party. When Google Plus was in the “testing” phase, received an eMail – perhaps because my Gmail account had been set up for a while – don’t know why I was “chosen”, but they asked me to participate in the development process. Started with my profile. Didn’t know anything about the Business pages (now called “brand accounts”) at the time.
When G+ became “official” my profile was already there with that long number ID. Since it was there, why remove it?
Later on there was buzz about the pages which was cool because … why not? Had business pages on Facebook. The G+ pages are super easy to set up and you could directly link them to your website or blog. So I did!
A Google Plus profile and page are both good to have. Not either/or. Both help with professional and social networking, help with building your business brand, and help with getting found in organic search results.
My advice to anybody who has not done it yet?
If you decide that it’s not for you, hit the DELETE button. Nothing is written in stone.

I think I have an account of Google+ account, I'm not sure enough about this thing. But I have the same passwords of in my google owned accounts which they set up for me. What I know is that I have gmail, blog and youtube in this umbrella.
Because of your article maybe I should have explore more about google plus. There's no harm in trying and exploring. Maybe it will do good for me. Maybe it can help me more about blogging, email and other activities online.
Posts to your Google Plus profile or page tend to show up organic search results. Pleas if you already have a Google gMail, create the account. It's free.
I also have a Google Plus or G+ account, but I don't know what other purpose can it serve me; thanks for this post; got some idea for it.
If you start using it and gaining followers you'll see the benefits. It's just like any other social media network. You have to put some effort into to to reap the benefits.
