Have you guys tried searching for "Guy Kawasaki"? On my results, GK's LinkedIn profile is ahead of his Google+. Google might be personalizing the search results.

Try this URL http://www.google.com/search?q=Guy+Kawasaki&pws=0&adtest=on&hl=en&gl=US&ip=24.38.160.0&pws=0 http://www.google.com/search?q=Guy+Kawasaki&pws=0&ad... - It's as close as I think you can achieve to non-personalized search, (From ip, pws=0 parameter, Google ad test).

I have a google plus account, but I never use it, I've only visited his website once, as you can see by the purple links: http://i.imgur.com/xeULP.png http://i.imgur.com/xeULP.png If I scroll futher down you can see 2 more instances of google plus -- http://i.imgur.com/1fHm5.png http://i.imgur.com/1fHm5.png, although I assume this is because I follow both Tom Anderson and Vic Gundotra. However for me personally I couldn't give a shit about g+ and it seems clear to me at least that they are (as the blog author suggests) boosting the position of g+ just because it's a google product.

  With yours, LinkedIn is below visualcv. Not in my case. I guess since people you follow on Google+ have shared something related to Guy Kawasaki, that's why Google deemed it more relevant. It doesn't factor in if you use Google+ or not. They are not only doing that with Google+ but with Twitter too.

    I switched to my other browsers running different google accounts, each positions his profile on g+ in the same place. The only thing my account is affecting is the bottom 2 g+ things. opera, work account: http://screensnapr.com/e/jZleuh.png http://screensnapr.com/e/jZleuh.png firefox, secure personal account: http://screensnapr.com/e/bTOdgq.png http://screensnapr.com/e/bTOdgq.png neither of those have google plus.

      His Google+ has 200K followers. His LinkedIn has 500+. My guess is that his Google+ profile is more visited than his LinkedIn. Maybe Google deserves some benefit of the doubt.
