+1 is live on big G.
Yes, I already know that google has launched +1 button few days back, but this is the first time I am seeing them on search engine result pages. This is a great feature which could compete with Facebook likes in the future.
Google should be smart enough to handle the +1 hits as I am sure people are going to buy +1 hits like they went and bought Facebook fans/likes and twitter followers.
Here is a screenshot below showing +1 button live on Google.com (click to enlarge).
For those who want to see a demo of this button in action and what it does, just go to Google.com and see the + 1 button on the Serps.
Also note this point below which is mentioned by Google:
“Publishers may not direct users to click the +1 Button for purposes of misleading users. Publishers should not promote prizes, monies, or monetary equivalents in exchange for +1 Button clicks”
If you wish to add the +1 button to your site, then use the code below:
<script type=”text/javascript” src=”https://apis.google.com/js/plusone.js”></script>
(The above code goes in the head section of your web page)
<g:plusone size=”small” href=”https://www.yourWebdomainURLhere.com”></g:plusone>
(Place the above code on the web page where you would like to add the +1 icon)
Regards,
