newbie Question: +1 button good or bad?

[xaron]

I was emailed by Google about this "+1 button" and the merits of using it. Since I'm a newbie when it comes to Adsense I wanted to throw it out there to the pro's. Do you think it will have a negative or positive impact on CTR?

I think it will not affect your CTR Google +1 button will only make your site popular in other sites as well as in search engine. It will also improve your site's rankings and good traffic from other sites.

Hey pal, generally speaking, Google +1 will not affect your site's ranking. It will only take place for personalized searches. But don't even think and bragged in that it will affect one's ranking in using the +1 button.

Plus one button is used when you see something interested in Google. When you click the +1 button, it means that, you are interested to that particular site/page. In General, that particular site/page has an importance for you.

However, here's the thing: +1 was designed only for those who are logged-in in their gmail accounts and must be added to your contact list. If they are not included to your contact, then the +1 button that you have clicked might become useless, specially for those who are offline in their Google accounts.

The bottom point is: +1 is for personalized usage only. And not included in Google's ranking factors!
