Google’s ‘Like’ Button: +1 Button

To put it simple, Google +1 button is a new dimension of social bookmarking. It adds your favorite websites, recipes, videos to your profile (something like Stumbleupon and other bookmarking services). It aggregates popularity of products, services, website etc. (something like Facebook ‘Like’ button).

Google's 'Like' Button: +1 Button

Google +1 service gathers all this data (popularity, favorites/likes) to recommend useful and related links to website visitors. For instance, you are searching for a Chinese recipe on Google and get top rated Chinese recipes recommended by people in your network in search results. Take another example, you are browsing through an online furniture store and see links to useful products and related online stores recommended by people via Google +1 service.

Quite good for Web surfers but what is in it for website owners and bloggers?

With Google +1 service enabled on your website, visitors can trust your products/services because they are recommended by people; this could give a serious boost to your sales. Visitors can also get useful and quality links; the result is a better online experience and more visitors coming back to your websites.

Interesting? Try it yourself and leave your comments here about your experience with Google +1.
