1. What is Google Plus One?
By comparison you can define experimental Google button called “+1” or “Plus One” with the “I Like” from Facebook. Basically, it’s a button for rate or recommending in a custom way any of the Google search results.
At this stage of testing, the button will only appear on Google.com search results (both organic and paid) for those users who activate functionality. And for the next few months, is due the appearance of a custom button for users to insert and share in their web sites.

5. Does Google +1 influence in SEO?
The answer is No. Some time must go by until Google can have a picture about the concrete use the users are giving it to this button.
The project is still in its experimental phase and if we follow the Google logic on this kind of matters we will see that after a experimentation phase, they analyze all the information gathered and from this moment they move to the next decision. If information turns out to be positive, maybe the next step is the launching the Google + 1 button customizable for websites. Maybe if the information is not so positive, Google +1 will be forgotten same as those social intents like Google Buzz.
But like everything depends on the repercussions of utility among users and the subsequent decision by Google, in these cases, what the Matrix team does is to include this new functionality and potential in research, monitoring and daily analysis to predict potential influences in the search algorithm.
