But odds are that's not going to happen often unless someone actively promotes your blog. So you might wonder if it is a good idea to join Google+ to get readers and blog traffic and search reputation.
Google+ profiles bear owners' real names. For some bloggers that makes G+ a nonstarter.
However, your G+ account does not need to be the same as your blogging account (though it can be). You can set things up so that there is no link to your Google+ identity from your blog.
You do need a Google+ account, using your real name, to play. But you don't need to connect that account to your blog.
You can use an "unattached" G+ account to promote your blog by sharing blog posts to people in your circles or publicly. Each link will be a one-way connection from your G+ identity to your blog, but not the other way.
You can even connect your blog to a Google+ identity in ways that do not show on your blog. Here's how.
