Have you ever come home to a note that made life just a little bit easier?
A tip from someone you trust that helps you find the things you care about.
When you have lots of options in front of you, it’s easy to find yourself wishing
for a bit of advice. That’s why we’re introducing the +1 -- a
way for you and your friends to help each other find great things in Google search.
When you click +1, you’re telling your friends, your family, and the rest of the world: “this
is something you should check out.” Since people will find your recommendations
right when they’re looking for them, you can +1 things you might not send an email
or post an update about. And the next time you’re searching, you
might see +1s from your friends and contacts, both on Google search and search ads. So picking
the right coffee maker, news article or chocolate chip cookie recipe could get a little easier.
But you can +1 more than just search results. You can also find the +1 button on sites across
the web, making it easy to recommend pages after you’ve visited them.
And if you have a website, adding the +1 button could lead to more and better qualified site
traffic, since your visitors might see personalized recommendations on your search results and
ads more often. Website owners can get the +1 button from
Google Webmaster Central. If you’re an advertiser, the +1 button will
automatically appear on your search ads when they show on Google.com.
And if you just want to help your friends get recommendations when they need them, +1
to that too.
