The Google +1 button is widely seen as Google’s answer to the popular Like button of Facebook as they have similar goals – both let you easily recommend web pages, that you liked or enjoyed reading, to your social circles and the outside world.There’s however another reason why web publishers are more likely to embrace Google’s +1 button – it can bring in more search traffic. How? In simple English, if enough people +1 a page on your site, Google could see that as a positive signal and that may help improve your site’s ranking in organic search results.
Google’s OPG sent me this 1-sheet overview that explains the +1 button in greater detail.
Google +1 Bookmarklet
Google +1
Most websites and blog have added the Google +1 button to their web pages but if you come across a page that would like to recommend on Google Plus but can’t find that +1 button, you may use the following bookmarklet – just drag this to the bookmarks toolbar (see video) and you will be able to easily +1 any web page on the Internet.
Share on Google Plus Bookmarklet
The Google +1 bookmarklet would only help you +1 pages that would then show up in your Google Plus profile. However, if you would like to share a web page, video, picture or something else on Google Plus, you need to install the Share on Google+ bookmarklet.
Share on Google Plus
The Share on Google+ bookmarklet will open a little overlay window and you can share the current page with your Google Plus circles without leaving the existing page. It even takes care of the page thumbnails, titles and excerpts. The code is available on github.
And since these are bookmarklets, they should across all desktop and mobile browsers including those of iPhone and iPads.
