I see Google +1 has kicked in today, it is Googles version of facebook like. Anyone want to swap likes  ;D

If they are going to use this to influence rankings, seo providers will have a field day!

Wonder if 20k +1s from the Philippines or India will count!

From Google:

"Does +1 affect my site’s performance in search?
Content recommended by friends and acquaintances is often more relevant than content from strangers. For example, a movie review from an expert is useful, but a movie review from a friend who shares your tastes can be even better. Because of this, +1’s from friends and contacts can be a useful signal to Google when determining the relevance of your page to a user’s query. This is just one of many signals Google may use to determine a page’s relevance and ranking, and we’re constantly tweaking and improving our algorithm to improve overall search quality. For +1's, as with any new ranking signal, we'll be starting carefully and learning how those signals affect search quality"

Whats the point

Only your friends in your contacts will see if you personally have +1 a site

Eg Sally goes to Jonnies Pizza and +1 the site
Sally's mate searched for a pizza place and sees Sally +1 it.

I however dont see any of this as they arent in my contact list.

Waste of time from Google I think

if your customer +1's your site then their friends will see this on the results page when they search for carpet cleaners, it'll say automatically "your friend recommends this site" big bonus imo.

be sure not to get +1 confused with google +, which is a social network from google.

no point in doing it like others have with facebook like by getting a load of carpet cleaners to like your facebook page.

warren: it's not your contacts/friends you want to see the +1 by some random person, it's the random persons contacts/friends that'll see it.

Google + gonna help in advertisement a lot, recommendations from friends etc are good features.
