You wouldn't think with the latest news that Facebook said you are breaking their TOS by adding Google plus to your Ads. They also have gone and banned people for doing this, what an outrage! This was in the news on July 18th, Hmm, should we begin to wonder the life of Facebook taking these actions? Will they become another Myspace?

June 2011 Google publicly created the code obtainable for all webmasters to add the Plus One button to their web site. Advertised on the homepage of millions as well as AdSense accounts alike, Google is gear up to plunge the next generation of. For those of you who are fresh to the entire concept and what this small button is, let me in brief explain: This small button is similar to a like or tweet button on Facebook or Twitter except this button has the ability to determine you and your circles of friends search terms, although it's only new right now we'll rapidly see what the internet could look like in the near future.

The web is turning into a crowded place with trillions of different types of content to be crawled every second from Youtube videos to articles and fresh data that requires it to be readily available with-in not just a matter of hours or even minutes any longer, we're talking about seconds. The problem Is not so much whether the content can be retrieved but whether or not the content we are looking for is what we want, with web sites like Twitter and Facebook users are able to share resources online this is simply called social bookmarking/networking, even at that what if we're looking for something now and if you're like most people we utilize Google as a search engine.

Google Plus includes profiles which are presently in beta and only available to select users. The profile is like to that of Facebook or Twitter, if you already have a Google account you are able to still use the plus one button on websites, it is a very basic setup but with how momentous Google is there will forever be infinite possibilities of what's in store.

The thought behind the Google Plus Button is to share important websites with friends, for example lets say friend A likes a post and friend B happens to do a search for something friend A like. Friend B will now see that search term driven to the top of the search results, seems pretty simple correct? At the moment the Plus button is rather new so it is difficult to monitor the effects but it does not end there, Google also can watch when a lot of people "Plus" a page, this is similar to creating backlinks or bookmarking a site to multiple directories, except a lot of pluses ultimately means higher rankings because when several browsers find a specific page valuable Google wants to drive the result to the top of the rankings, it all makes sense since the whole idea behind a search engine is to see precisely what you are seeking.

As of this moment it is kinda difficult to say how colossal of an affect this little button will have on search engine rankings, but if you are a webmaster it most certainly won't harm to add the button today. Facebook and Twitter doesn't have much to worry about they're both really big sites in fact both are believed monopolies for the services they provide, Google may not ever produce a social networking service as big as either of the two but one thing is for certain Google will forever be a worthy source to browse the internet and find important content, and even with all the services our friend offer we can always anticipate something to make the web a more beneficial place.
