That's a good point Bruce. You will get that message. I've posted both ways with mixed results. I have about 180 followers on G+. Not a big sample size.
I actually consider the Squarespace blog my primary publishing spot, duplicating the posts on Blogger as a backup. (Who knows? Squarespace may go out of business someday. It already happened to me with another vendor.). When I put up a blog post, I post it here with a link to Squarespace if I think it's of interest to the list. The squarespace link also goes to an email list of friends. It goes on G+ either as a regular post or linked from blogger. Then a link to the Squarespace blog goes on Twitter and Facebook. All of it is public. Judging from the logs, comments, +1s, etc., even though I send most of the traffic to Squarespace, I get about half as much traffic on the Blogger/G+ combination. Given my small sample size of followers, I can't see much difference between the posts that go to Blogger via G+ and the posts that go to both places separately. I think people with a much larger number of followers would have better handle on this than I do. >From what I can tell, the traffic volume (small as it is) has more to do with the title of the post than anything else.
