Google button +1 ( SEO point-of-view )

[augustos]

Hello Folks,

First of all, I want to start by:  this is a "discussion" topic, which theres no right or wrong answer.

I would love to hear from everyone your toughts about the GOOGLE +1 BUTTON , for the SEO point-of-view indeed.

I assume that I did not add it to my websites yet, theres some reasons why.

You guys added it? How is your audience behaviors against the button, they often click on it?

It changed anything in your ranks, after they clicked on it?

Thanks in advance.

I have added it to the index page of a client because they requested it (a competitor started first).

A few people have clicked it, but not enough to really justify it yet. Basically its on a trial period for them.

I could see it being more useful for blogs, if the content is good people will click it, but I am not sure if they will share it on FB, Tweet it and THEN click +1. Seems to be a lot to ask.

Thank you James,

I agree with you, based on what you just said, I assume that you believe this button works more at the "social media side", am I right?

So, you think if I add this button to my weak landing pages, it can increase their ranks on google?( of course if a bunch of peoples thumb up it )

cheers.

Well I work with numerous large brands and it is evident that the up take is slow, yet people are clicking on them, in small numbers possibly by mistake too hehe

I think with tech and social sites you may see many more users click the +1's, look at Mashable/SEOmoz/Search engine land blogs for example.

Well yes I have seen numerous people say as they are logged in they are seeing websites from friends which they have +1's so it is evident that if you have a weak website and some one +1's some content it can be pushed up to page one.

It also links up to Google+ profiles and who is in your circles
