Are you getting any action from Google +1 ?
-
If you have added google plus one to your website you can check on the impact by visiting your webmaster tools account.
In your GWT account you will see a left menu item for "+1 Metrics". If you click on "Search Impact" you can see the CTR change attributed to +1.
Anybody seeing anything there yet?

I am not seeing any measurable results from Google +
In my opinion a Google + button is a waste of page real estate - at least for the topics that my sites are about.
-
Just curious on what sort of results you can share since Google + has has some time on it and is gaining ground. Although I cannot imagine not having Google + available as a site option considering the influence within results, I still wonder about real world numbers. Thanks!

Thank you for all of these replies. I was curious to hear experiences from others. We have displayed +1 logos on every page of a site for several days now, about a million pageviews, and are getting an average of one +1 action per day - that compares with a few hundred addthis actions per day. Addthis and +1 are displayed together in the top banner of the site.
I wonder if use will improve a lot over time?

We added it along with facebook like button at the same time. After 2 weeks we have 9 Like's and 2 +1's, on sites home page.
-
While we had it there it got very little action. We removed it in order to fix the styling, will be back up next week - hopefully with renewed enthusiasm after Google+
-
We have also seen the same minimal numbers. But it was very interesting to dive in and start to investigate. I have been reviewing all sections in both Analytics and GWT.
It will be interesting to see which pages are receiving the most clicks vs. impressions.
Honestly, we just need more time and data. Not too much activity as of now.

I've seen some minimal numbers, probably just a few +1's on my company's homepage. I think as google+ becomes more popular (which I think it will), people will start actively using the +1 button.

Does Google like pricing information?
Over the last year I have noticed a trend in a couple of industries. Google seems to prioritise landing pages with pricing information in the content. This seems more important than it used to. One industry is high end industrial machines. Traditionally there isn't a price list as everything is bespoke for the customer. Low end machines that display an off the shelf price are now ranking higher than they used to. This is frustrating because the different machines meet different customer requirements. However, both sorts of customers are likely to use the same search terms. Has anyone else noticed this trend?

New Google SERPs page title lengths, 60 characters?
It seems that the new Google SERPs have a shorter page title character length? From what I can gather they are 60 characters in length. Does this mean we all need to now optimise our page titles to 60 characters? Has anyone else noticed this and made any changes to page title lengths?

Loss of 1,000 links has negatively affecting rankings
Hey there, One of the clients we're working with has lost about 1,000 or so backlinks over the last two or three months - mainly old article and directory links - and it has massively affected the site's search rankings. The site was ranking for pretty much all of its keywords in prominent positions on Google (mostly first page) but has now seen positions dive to 50, 90 and even outside of the top 100. Is there any immediate action we can put into place to help restore our rankings?

Google visits falling at the expense of Bing
Has anyone else noticed their percentage of search visits from Google slipping in the last few weeks at the expense of Bing? We've seen a 4% swing in the last month. Obviously Google is still the dominant presence (acconuting for 88.4% of all organic visits to our site kenwoodtravel.co.uk) but still it would be interesting to know if this is just a blip or more of a trend?

Proper Way To Submit A Reconsideration Request To Google
Hello, In previous posts, I was speaking about how we were penalized by Google for unnatural links. Basically 50,000 our of our 58,000 links were coming from 4-5 sites with the same exact anchor text and img alt tags. This obviously was causing our issues. Needless to say, I wen through the complete link profile to determine that all of the links besides this were of natrural origins. My question here is what is the accepted protocol of submitting a reinclusion request; For example, how long should it be? Should I disclose that I was in fact using paid links, and now that I removed (or at least nofollowed) them? I want to make sure that the request as good as it should so I can get our rankings up in a timely manner. Also, how long until the request is typically aknowledged? Thanks
