Please let me know if this is fact or fiction... getting a bunch of +1's on your website will cause it to increase your organic rankings (for non- google plus users - i am not talking about the results that are pulled up higher because you are logged into your google plus account and have plus 1'd that page) Jeff
As Google said they will count social media in search results. As G+ is their social media service I think the answer is pretty clear...
I think it's a fiction still now. No such correlation is published. But the general belief is it works.
+1 is a big count for Google ranking. However, search engine ranking in general is a combination of various ethical SEO techniques.
