Social proof? Highly recommend it. I'm starting to get my feet very wet with Google + now....can't wait to add it to my arsenal and varied links even more.

The more social proof the better mate

I tried google plus to get my site indexed. The submissions done on g plus showed up in search engines. I have mentioned the importance of g plus in my blog.You can check it

I would like to think G+ is standard for any marketer now, however I haven't had the time to finish setting it up for my own blog yet.

Google has started to include Google+ pages in search engine ranking pages,so a Google + page can bring good quality traffic.Search Keyword "AIAG Books" on google,and it will show a Google+ page in their result

I have a mix feeling with Google+, I don't use it for all my aff websites as I know how much Google hate.

Using Google+ is a really smart and simple way to improve your website's SEO. Search is becoming more and more social, so Google looks at a busy G+ page as an indication that a brand is important. It probably sounds more complicated than it is, haha. I recommend watching this short video for an easy-to-understand look at why G+ is important for companies:

I dunno, I thought I saw an initial little boost when I created a G+ page for my "real" offline business (you have to link it too, by adding a G+ button on your site, and a link on your G+ profile), but now I am not so sure it has made any difference (not that I was all that hopeful).

Also, if I Google for my main industry keywords, my site is around no. 7, my LinkedIn profile is just below it, my Twitter profile is at the top of page 2, but of my G+ profile there is NO sign.

Probably one reason is that I don't often post anything to that profile, it's not really active. But then I don't post to LinkedIn that much either, or even Twitter really... So make of that what you will.

Mr. Cutts also claims that G+ is not currently being used for ranking signals, but then we can't really take his statements quite at face value.

Google+ is helpful in SEO.

facebook, twitter, amazon, wiki etc have always been good for ranking so why not a google+ page,
also - a huge amount of links isnt going to effect the root domain so you can be a bit more aggresive with it

- i understood you want to rank a page rather than using it for ranking other yes??

It Helps. Just found a bump from page 2 to 1 after some google +'s (at least it worked for a spanish domain that i've been watching).

Yeah G+ is part of my online strategy now just need to refine it and hopefully it will do well :-)

I have been trying it for SMO.

If you do local SEO, I think they're indexing G+ Local pages now too! So it is a must if you do local stuff; but a normal G+ page like many have said already is very important (there's an article on Bing that they do use social media as a factor in ranking, so G+ could play a part in that for SEO on Bing)
