If someone “likes” your site then it appears in search engine results like this:


Google have indicated that they will use the “Likes” from the +1 button along with many other factors to help rank you website in Google stating:

Depending on the technology you use DBS may be able to add the +1 button to your website so that your visitors can click on it to “like”.

The +1 button shouldn’t be viewed as a replacement for link building services but as another tool in the armoury for ranking highly on Google.
