Google, the Search Engine Giant, announced the release of its addition of a new feature, +1 Button feature on the search engine in March, 2011. According to Google, +1 is a public stamp of approval you can give a web page or a Blog. Google +1 has been compared with Face book’s Like Button. Both have similar word of mouth recommendations and social proof. Both have essentially the same purpose of recommending and suggesting a webpage  or a blog. In similar fashion, it is also a way in which people can vote for a particular search result in Google which they have found informative or liked about.

If you click the +1 button next to the search result, you have automatically voted for the result and the search engine will remember that. When someone else makes the same search, the result would come attached with the +1 symbol, encouraging the person to click and read the site. In this way, with a Google Profile, one can view the web pages of what their friends have +1′d on and also they can keep track of their own web pages they liked. Google +1 is not a social network but it is a voting mechanism helping Google to rank and rate the recommended results to position the Site or blog higher than other sites.As Google puts it “Sometimes it’s easier to find exactly what you’re looking for when someone you know already found it. Get recommendations for the things that interest you right when you want them in your search results”, Google will have a better idea of what people like and what they don’t like in order to list the page rankings. This is an important step in your blog’s growth considering the Google’s growing love for social media. This will definitely be a powerful move for Bloggers and advertisers. If Google+1 takes off on a positive note, it will have a huge impact on your blog in the long run. Read more at www.seommotips.com
