does +1 really increase traffic? it did nothing for me at techxpot.com atleast facebook likes get us backlinks
There are good and bad services for this out already. Some are using scripts and they are getting removed, but there are a few good services out there as well that use unique ips, aged gmail accounts etc. and they are sticking. One of the best I have used is PurchasePlusOne.com
I would tend to agree with you, they have been saying for some time now that PR doesn't matter to the extent that some are obsessed with it.
I Don't Know Complete About Google + Button . Can You Share me link Where i can get Complete information about google + button?
No effect on SERPS people. Use a bit of common sense. Its too easily abused. Here is a quote from a /. conversation.. Nigel
As you all know, Google has introduced its new “+1†feature in their search result which has the same functionality as the Facebook “Like†button. When that button is clicked, that result is “Publicly approved†it means, simply. When you +1 something, your name becomes associated with that link “in search, on ads, and across the web,†according to the company. It also shows up in a feed on your Google Profile, which is required to use the product. Now, here I am discussing the effects of this new +1 service by Google.
On the surface it does seem totally open to abuse and no doubt there'll be the usual people who will try. The nature of Google accounts and the amount of information that Google holds about it’s users may make this difficult, however. With such a wide range of services available through a Google account, it won’t take much for Google to work out which accounts are spam and which are genuine. For example, Google will be able to tell the difference between an account that is only used to +1 hundreds of links each week and an account that regularly logs into Gmail, YouTube, etc. and +1′s a few links per week.
^^I agree that makes the business of selling followers very hard. They key is to find a base of real users and give them incentives to click on a regular basis and also maintain their google account.
The exact way of Google recognize the geniune one is still a mistery. But let's hope for a better impact in our site.
I agree with you, It might affect whole social network. One of the best advantage of Google System is you don't have to register with every new thing, you can just use your own Gmail Id.
