Check out this video from YouTube that explains just what this button can do for your searches.

Word on the street is that Google is working on a +1 button that you can add to your own site, that will effect search ratings as well. Meaning, the more people that +1 your content, the better chance it has of showing up higher in Google search results.

For advertising professionals, this feature may really peak your interest. The +1 feature will actually have the ability to allow people to recommend an paid ad. When you see an advertisement online, it just might might come up with a “Taylor liked this page” as well. Makes you wonder what will be more valuable to clients, a +1 or a click-through?
