http://m.gizmodo.com/5835623/google-search-results-could-soon-be-determined-by-+1-buttonon Check out this article, says google will start using +1 button to determine results. What do you think?
I good thing I read in one of those articles. Matt Cutts says don't plan for what is working today, plan for what will be working in the future. Or something like that. +1 may not have an affect right now, but you can bet it will. Same with twitter and FB. It's just common sense. If thousands of people are tweeting about X site, they are doing it for a reason. So why shouldn't it have some SE value?
I know I guess a good g+ bot will teach them a lesson... The creation of gmails is a pain in the ass.... In my opinion if that's the case big g just made it very ez to rank in SERPS... Instead of stoping us they just gave us a window, I'll like and 1+ all day
i think to a minor extend it will improve your rank a bit if you have more +1 however i think the main purposes of +1 are/will be: to share websites/searchresult with other people on google plus. especialy your friends make it possible to search for friends on google plus with the same prefered websites (some sort of shared interest) in the future when google plus is more established it will prolly be able to let the +1 of people in your circkels(your friends) to affect the way search results are shown for you when logged in on your google plus account so in short: yes it will minorly increase your ranking but not enough to make it worthwhile to create mass gmail accounts as thats as mentioned in a earlier reply "a pain in the ass" happy blackhatting, alexj.affiliate
