Google recently introduced a new feature on their site called the +1 Button for Websites. You’ve likely seen the +1 next to Google search results and some web pages over the past few months. This article explains why it’s important for you to add the +1 button to your own website if you haven’t already.
If someone inside your potential customers social network has +1′d your site, it will show up higher in Google Search results. Each +1 is also broadcast on Google+ (Google’s own Social Network) to all the followers of the person who clicks the button.
