Google Launches PlusOne (+1) Buttons for Websites

Google has finally made the +1 (read as Plus One) buttons available for websites. Website owners who has earlier signed up to receive an alert when the buttons become available has got the following email today.

At this point, I'm not sure if the Plus One network would be a competitor for Facebook's Like button. Anyway, I have copied the code and added it to few of my sites to give it a try. Hope this one remains useful for mare days than the buzz!

Hi there,

You asked to be notified when the +1 button code was available, and today's the day!

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. Ready to get started?
  Get the code!  
To stay current on updates to the +1 button large and small, please sign up for the Google Publisher Button Announce Group.

If you have questions when adding the code, check out the Google Webmasters Help Center. Thanks for your interest!

Sincerely,
The Google Webmaster Central & +1 button teams
