As you may have heard Google is standing up to Facebook and is launching its own “like button” in a face of Google +1 button, “pronounced plus one”. The idea behind Google +1 is to allow regular users to rate webpages or blogs if they see them as a great source of information for a particular subject or a keyword that they searched for. The button itself will be located right in Google search results, indicated below.
There is already talk about +1 plugin for WordPress which I think is a great idea. I am not so sure I dig Google +1 button on search engine results itself because they are very easy to abuse. That alone could have drastic affects on Goggle search engine results. I hope Google thought about that before they decided to go along with this.
Anyhow if you wish to know more about Google +1 button you can read more about it on search engine land website, they have a pretty extensive article about it. I’m sure I will be dedicating some time to it in the days and weeks to come as it is going to have an impact on how search engine works.
Do you think this is a good idea?
