Has anyone started using the +1 button on their site?

Has anyone started using google +1 button on their site? how's the response? What are the key benefits?

 

I've started using it 2 weeks back, but didn't see much change in traffic.
Maybe the effect is slow.

 

i am started to use +1 on my site, the effect is not like I expected. So now i dont use it.

 

I have been using it for a few days.

In spite of getting 2000 uniques every day, I am still to get my first "+1". .

 

I'm using it, One of my blog.
Reponse:- well, It would be too early to say anything...

 

I added it yesterday, but its not active, hardly anyone has clicked it...

 

Using it on all my sites with all my clients. Social marketing is now a big factor with search engine rankings. Every metric matters when you looking to maintain those ranking positions.

 

Have yet to start using the 1+ and actually didn't really understand what it was about until yesterday, hadn't really spent the time to look it up.

I would think that it will take quite a while to get anything from it and have it make much a difference - we'll all see with time.

 

I work for realestatewebsites.com and I +1'd our site a couple days ago, now when I'm signed in with my google account, I see us come up on page 4 for the keywords "Real Estate Websites" instead of page 26 when I'm not signed out. It's very odd to say the least. I'm not quite sure if it's the +1 doing it, or if we're actually on page 4.

 

There is no difference, at least to me.

 

I introduced this button since a week, but it's hardly touched by visitors. In the future i hope we'll get the search engine bennefit, for now we get only a new graphic

 

motovip, what does it really do? Is there like a place I can view how many times this page has been +1'd?

Here are some details, but only few. In the next period we'll se what happens.

 

Thanks, that helped a little, and I added it to my website at the bottom. It's obviously not going to do much now, but as google+ expands I can see this becoming monstrous.

 

I haven't yet and I'm not sure if I will anytime soon. I personally think, this button is going to be another Google failure.
As by the experience of webmasters I have read about in several forums, the button is not the ultimate traffic solution at all and may also cause a longer page loading time.
Some smarties of course already reporting huge increase in traffic and are probably millionaires by now, thanks to this +1 button.

I personally hate the idea, Google is using those click data to determine how a site or single page ranks in their serp's and it clearly will have a negative impact on websites with low traffic and resulting of less traffic, less clicks. But are those websites with less traffic really always low quality sites?

Also, people will try to manipulate this button. See: http://fiverr.com/users/start1now/gigs/get-you-40-google-1-votes
A new business opportunity has been created by Google. hope Google is proud of it.
We all know there are some very smart people they know how to trick out systems and sooner or later Google will have to admit, they can not rely on those +1 hits to be real, truthful and honest.
People will start creating lots of gmail accounts and click each other +1 buttons like they usually would be commenting on each other blogs.

At least the FB LIKES button was really only a symbol for recommendation but Google is kind of trying to force webmasters to add Google's, sorry to say so, stupid looking +1 button if they want a good position in the serp's. web 2.0 and all the Social networking is good and fine and a personal recommendation from a real satisfied customer or site visitor always will count more than anything else but does that really need a Google +1 button? Does Google really think the world will stop turning if Google would not exist?

Now, who is going to ad such a button next, Bing? Maybe Yahoo? One of these days we will have a couple of rows only with all kinds of LIKE and +1 buttons etc on top or bottom of each webpage I guess.
First it was all the social bookmarking sites and all their buttons, now it's additionally all the +1's and LIKE buttons. Wondering what's next?

 

Issue.
I have installed +1 button on my site.
1. I press +1 - button makes blue (pressed), counter - 1
2. Refresh page - botton is blue, counter - 1
3. Refresh page again - button is blue, counter - 0

I have repeated these steps on different pages - same result.

I don't understand, why counter is 0? Can anyone repeat my experiment?

My browser - FireFox 5

Open Webmster Tools - all my +1 are added.

 

Just start using it few days ago, still observing the effect on serp.

 

Once Google+ builds up we will start seeing people using that +1 button! Google+ only has like 7 million users now but it is growing like a million people a day almost. So, with that said, Just make sure you have both facebook and +1 buttons to cover both angles!

 

I've been using it for about a month now on some of my blogs, but haven't seen much difference in ranking, although one of my site has over 3000 unique views each day, the ranking and hits gain is still normal, not much or not less.

 

I have added the google +1 button in all my websites, but still there is not much traffic, assume it will take some more time to become popular..
