The +1 button for websites: recommend content across the web
June 1, 2011
Since we started rolling out the
+1 button
in March, you’ve been able to recommend content to your friends and contacts directly from Google search results and ads.
But sometimes you want to +1 a page while you’re on it. After all, how do you know you want to suggest that recipe for chocolate flan if you haven’t tried it out yet?
Today, we’re releasing +1 buttons to the whole web. As a result, you might start seeing +1 appear on sites large and small across the Internet. We’ve partnered with a few sites where you’ll see +1 buttons in the near future:
You'll also start to see +1 buttons on other Google properties such as
Android Market
,
Blogger
,
Product Search
and
YouTube
.
+1 is as simple on the rest of the web as it is on Google search. With a single click you can recommend that raincoat, news article or favorite sci-fi movie to friends, contacts and the rest of the world. The next time your connections search, they could see your +1’s directly in their search results, helping them find your recommendations when they’re most useful.
In the meantime, we’re continuing to roll out the +1 button for English-language searches on Google.com. If you want to +1 search results and search ads earlier, you can opt in through our
experimental search site
. To see recommendations from your friends and contacts in Google search, make sure you’re signed into your
Google Account
.
If you’re a webmaster, you can get the +1 button code and learn more about implementation on our
+1 webmaster site
.
We hope you’ll agree that +1 buttons across the web make it even easier for you to recommend content to your friends and contacts, and make search results even more helpful and relevant.
