What is Google +1 and How It Influences Search Engine Results

Understanding the Power of Plus One

Google’s Plus One is essentially a “Like” button for search engine results and ads. Google understands the importance of social media connections between friends, followers and fans across social networking sites such as LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter and the like. So the Plus One button is essentially a recommendation of a webpage through Google to your social circle, but one that directly influences search engine results. When you find a webpage that provides valuable information such as this one, just click the “+1″ button and the signal will be sent to the people that matter to you via Google. This includes your Twitter followers, Facebook fans and friends – all the social connections that help you make the best purchase online and pick the hotel to stay in.
