Google + 1 Rolls out!

[Justin Duff]

We've just implemented Google's +1 feature for all of our dealer websites. Are you using this new feature? Do you think it will help with SEO? Chime in here.

Google talks about the feature HERE.

Here's an example of a vehicle with the button on the VDP.

I doubt +1 will have an SEO play in the near future but as Google get's some experience under their belt as to how this actually get's utilized (or more likely confirms one of the 1000 forecasts they've undoubtedly laid out as part of the plan) then I could see a slight SEO value here.

We're not using this feature on our sites and I'm in no rush to get it on any of our pages or sites... unless it comes as part of a WP plugin then ok. I think this is one of those bleeding edge things that should only be touched if you have nothing left to squeeze out of more efficient and productive avenues.

If you disagree I'd love to hear it but look at how long it's taken for social media to have an influence on SEO and look at how small of a piece SM is of the bigger SEO pie.
