Google released +1 button for websites

The +1 button has been rolled out by Google in March. Users are able to recommend content to friends and contacts directly from Google search results and ads. But sometimes we want to +1 a page while we’re on it. How do we know we want to suggest that recipe for chocolate flan if you haven’t tried it out yet?




To accommodate users to be able +1 while on a page, Google has just released +1 button to the websites. As a result, you might start seeing +1 appear on sites large and small across the Internet. This could be same as the Facebook "Like" feature that enable us to like an article on a website. The difference, the Google +1 feature will directly impact to the Google search result, not only count the numbers.

Google has partnered with a few sites where you’ll see +1 buttons in the near future. You'll also start to see +1 buttons on other Google properties such as Android Market, Blogger, Product Search and YouTube.

+1 is as simple on the rest of the web as it is on Google search. With a single click you can recommend that raincoat, news article or favorite sci-fi movie to friends, contacts and the rest of the world. The next time your connections search, they could see your +1’s directly in their search results, helping them find your recommendations when they’re most useful.

In the meantime, Google are continuing to roll out the +1 button for English-language searches on Google.com. If you want to +1 search results and search ads earlier, you can opt in through our experimental search site. To see recommendations from your friends and contacts in Google search, make sure you’re signed into your Google Account.

If you’re a webmaster, you can get the +1 button code and learn more about implementation on Google +1 webmaster site (http://www.google.com/webmasters/+1/button/index.html).

The Google +1 buttons across the web make it even easier for you to recommend content to your friends and contacts, and make search results even more helpful and relevant.

How to Improve Website Ranking on Google Search

Website owners should aware about their website quality to have better result in the Google Search Ranking. Google algorithm will find "high-quality" sites by reducing the rankings of low-quality content. The recent "Panda" algorithm change tackles the difficult task of algorithmically assessing website quality.



Below are some questions that one could use to assess the "quality" of a page or an article. These are the kinds of questions Google ask themselves to write algorithms that attempt to assess site quality.

• Would you trust the information presented in this article?
• Is this article written by an expert or enthusiast who knows the topic well, or is it more shallow in nature?
• Does the site have duplicate, overlapping, or redundant articles on the same or similar topics with slightly different keyword variations?
• Would you be comfortable giving your credit card information to this site?
• Does this article have spelling, stylistic, or factual errors?
• Are the topics driven by genuine interests of readers of the site, or does the site generate content by attempting to guess what might rank well in search engines?
• Does the article provide original content or information, original reporting, original research, or original analysis?
• Does the page provide substantial value when compared to other pages in search results?
• How much quality control is done on content?
• Does the article describe both sides of a story?
• Is the site a recognized authority on its topic?
• Is the content mass-produced by or outsourced to a large number of creators, or spread across a large network of sites, so that individual pages or sites don’t get as much attention or care?
• Was the article edited well, or does it appear sloppy or hastily produced?
• For a health related query, would you trust information from this site?
• Would you recognize this site as an authoritative source when mentioned by name?
• Does this article provide a complete or comprehensive description of the topic?
• Does this article contain insightful analysis or interesting information that is beyond obvious?
• Is this the sort of page you’d want to bookmark, share with a friend, or recommend?
• Does this article have an excessive amount of ads that distract from or interfere with the main content?
• Would you expect to see this article in a printed magazine, encyclopedia or book?
• Are the articles short, unsubstantial, or otherwise lacking in helpful specifics?
• Are the pages produced with great care and attention to detail vs. less attention to detail?
• Would users complain when they see pages from this site?

One other specific piece of guidance is that low-quality content on some parts of a website can impact the whole site’s rankings, and thus removing low quality pages, merging or improving the content of individual shallow pages into more useful pages, or moving low quality pages to a different domain could eventually help the rankings of your higher-quality content.

As you continue to improve your sites, rather than focusing on one particular algorithmic tweak, we encourage you to ask yourself the same sorts of questions we ask when looking at the big picture. This way your site will be more likely to rank well for the long-term.
