Google Confirms Plus1 Button to Affect Rankings
September 2011, Update
According to Google’s recent email correspondence to Wired.com, more than 200 signals are currently used to determine website ranking. Google studied these signals before making more than 500 improvements to the algorithm last year.
When it debuted in March 2011, the “Google plus” button displayed the user’s profile picture next to the URL when a friend ran a search that included the URL. Today, web surfers can use the button to post stories to friends and followers, much like the Facebook “Like” button. The obvious next step is to rearrange search results based on what people are liking and sharing.
This new situation is not without controversy. If Google search results rely heavily on “Google plus” buttons, websites will be pressured to embed the buttons on their pages or see their Internet traffic suffer. -
Re: Website ranking -- Do people use/click Google's +1 button?
Reading what Mr. QuestionMan posted, that would add another button to click on when we browse the different sites on the web. How many clicks can we do to one site without getting carpal tunnel? (LOL)Comment

I too didn't understand, if people use the f icon to like something, it would appear on facebook page, i am not aware of Google+ allowing people to create pages and all. I am still not able to understand.Comment

Re: Website ranking -- Do people use/click Google's +1 button?
According to google,
"+1 gets conversations going. Click the +1 button to give something your public stamp of approval. Then, if you want to share right away, add a comment and send it to the right circles on Google+.
The next time your friends and contacts search on Google, they could see your +1. You’ll help them find the best stuff on the web – and you might just start up another conversation!"Comment
