Google and +1 web button

Google introduces +1 web button today.

Similar to the Facebook 'like' button, the +1 button lets people recommend websites to those in their social circle.
Just a single click you can recommend or share that site, link or your favourite video to your friends and in all over world. The next time when your connections search, they could see your Fav. +1s directly in their search results, helping them find your recommendations when they're most useful.

The +1 button makes it easy for visitors to recommend your pages to friends and contacts exactly when their advice is most useful -- on Google search. As a result, you could get more and better qualified site traffic.

You'll need to add a small snippet of code on the pages where you want a +1 button to appear.

To stay current on updates to the +1 button large and small, please sign up for the Google Publisher Button Announce Group.

Just Copy and paste the following code into your site:






Add +1 Button in Your Word Press Website

Add a Button to Your Sidebar

Drag a new “Text” widget to the sidebar location of your choice. You can add a header if you want, or you can leave it blank. In the text portion, paste the button configuration you want using the +1 button page. The standard code is

You can choose how you want the button to align itself using HTML or referring to CSS classes from your stylesheet.




Thanks for your interest! Let's try with your website.
