Google +1 and SERP

I have been doing some own experiments to find out if Google "+1"s influence SERP and yet I did not see any convening observations for google using "+1"s for SERP.

What do you think?

I would like to see if any of you have experiences and observations on this.

Thanks!

  • Actually they effect the search results when someone from your connections and friends is searching for a relative keyword to your site.

    I am sure that you have witnessed that when you search for something on google while you are signed in some of the first results have a pic of someone of your connections who has shared this page, now if you sign out from your google account the results for the same keyword will be different...

    • Yes. It works when some one in my connection searching. But, I want to find out if it works in general. ie, Is google "+1" influencing the SERP (lets just forget about the people in our connection).

  • Since this is a personalized one, you need to get related people to your niche. The interaction of them will improve rankings. But it's not much effective as backlinks.
  • We have done some tests and found that it only influences those in your circle for searches. However, I would keep this building because if you have thousands of people of your circle then you are going to make a relative impact to your site.

    • Even if it only influences your circle searches, at least it does that. I still use it to assist with the overall promotion of the site in general.
  • In general (while signed out) there is no significant effect of +1 on the SERPs.
