I wonder if it also has a dislike feature which is frequently abused for example on YouTube. I understand that any rating counts for more than no rating but rating with the intention to do harm rather than good to someone is pathetic.

We will try to get as many +1′s as we can because we know the benefit of it from the seo prespective (and soon we will see many people start to sell +1′s as well) but a normal user does not know about it and the facebook like button is one step ahead of it.

I think the motive for the +1 button not being implemented by a lot of sites and it’s usage not being as high as the Facebook’s is that not many people have Google+ profiles yet. When people will get used to Google+ as they did to Facebook, they will stop ignoring it.

Personally, I don’t really +1 things because I hate the idea that my search results are being altered based on what Google “knows” about my interests.

I think it was interesting that Google launched the +1 button before launching Google+. Had it been the other way around, people probably would have been more likely to understand it from the beginning. Now that there’s that connection to your Google+ profile, +1′ing things makes more sense.

Well it seems to me rather interesting that the Google +1 appears next to the general listing of a Website in Google Searches.

I’m not entirely convinced that people would like a site when they haven’t been to it yet and if they have I’m not overly sure if they’d bother going back to the general listing in order to do so.

So in essence I’m not at all surprised to see your stats of folks not really running with it.

Thanks for sharing though!

I think a large majority of people outside our realm have no clue what Google+ is, yet. Have s look at who is currently using Google plus. According to Mashable, most users are male, with about 60% of them being developers or software engineers. A far cry from the mainstream Internet users on FB or Twitter. Personally, I think many site owners are still focused on how to properly utilize FB for their marketing and get a little overwhelmed contemplating incorporating a new SM into their strategies. But, eventually I imagine entire companies will be based on teaching to market using this new SM, just as they have done for Facebook and the others. As far as utilizing the button on my own websites, if I must, I must. Just as soon as I get to it.

Okay, I confess, the only reason I put the button on my site was because of search results

I have been wondering about the Google +1 button myself. While I have added it on my blog, I’m contemplating taking it off as it doesn’t seem to do a whole lot.

I don’t think I have clicked it on other sites, even though the button is usually located next to the other social network sharing buttons. I’ve clicked the tweet button, but haven’t really used the +1 button.

I’m sure if people were told that the Google +1 button had a dramatic effect on search results, then everyone would be using it. The problem is, it probably won’t happen since it would be too easy to game the results.
