Google +1 Search Engine Rank - What does it mean to Bloggers?

Google +1 is a new initiative taken by Google to make sure the best quality on the world wide web will come to the fore, Lets be honest, this is going to have huge affects on Bloggers, Website Owners and Web masters as well.

So How does the Google +1 work?

When someone searches for something, they will see an Icon next to the result and they can choose to give a Like or a +1 to the blog or website.This seems almost like the Facebook Like button, But only here the likes or the number of + you get, the better your search engine results become and hence this will be of utter importance to Bloggers like you and me.

So what are the implications of the Google +1 Rule?

To put it simply, Google +1 rule will make sure the best Blogs or Websites come up to the top of the Search Results.This is a good thing, If you have great quality and already have a good place among SERPS and SEO, otherwise if no one can see you result, there will not be any chance of getting +1 will there?

So I would advice all bloggers and Website owners to get their act together and get some decent search engine positions or else you may lose out when this rule is put forth.

Also Bloggers will have to concentrate on more and more quality content as only quality will survive in this new Rule by Google, If it is implemented.

Also Bloggers and website owners who depend on Social Bookmarking sites and Social Networking sites such as Twitter and Facebook will lose out even more on Search Engine Rankings.

There has also been debate that this +1 may also impact the Google Page Rank And Alexa Rank.I can believe the Google Page rank thing, but I do not think it will have any impact on Alexa Rank system.

So What may be the Disadvantages of Google +1?

Some of the Bloggers or Webmasters may vote their own Blogs or Websites up and may vote other sites down, this would be harmful to the rule.

But to counter that, I am sure not too much weight-age will be given to the +1 and it will still depend mainly on Backlink Quality and Quantity as well as Time spent on site and other factors.

It is not a 100% certainty that the Google +1 rule will be implemented,  But if it does, now you know what to do.
