"+1": Google introduces its own "Like it" Button
Freitag, den 01. April 2011 um 20:13 Uhr
As a further step towards Social SERPs Google introduces the new "+1" button. It is a commitment to social factors in search. In the future Google will display a little button labeled "+1" next to search hits. By clicking this button users can show Google that they "like" a certain search hit. In its official blog Google tells that the clicks on the button will influence the order in which the search hits are displayed. The button will be shown next to both organic and sponsored search hits. Search hits that have been "+1d" by users that Google knows as your friends will be ranked higher, but also clicks by other users that you do not know will have an effect.
