Google+'s +1 for business....

[juliaritz]

I'm thinking (and I could be wrong) that eventually the number of people that have +1'd a site will begin to impact search results. After all, it is Google's platform. What are your thoughts on this? And do you know if having someone +1 your site is different than having them "follow" you or add you to their circles? Should a business have more followers or +1's?

Creating a formatted email to your friends in your entire address book explaining what you would like your friends. Similar to mine.Example Below

When you have a chance would you and anyone else you know that has a Gmail account do the following steps:

1. Log into your gmail account online at http://www.gmail.com
2. Go to http://www.google.com and search for the phrase “colocation
   phoenix “
3. On this page of web results should and will be in the 14th
   position,  www.cisaz.com/hosting/colocation.php  (this is our
    website).
   Click the +1 logo next to the website name
   4)  Please Click on the website link and if the +1 at the top of the
   page is not highlighted blue, click it again until the +1 has a blue
    background

I think this would be situational....

Much like Facebook "Likes" you can put a "Like" box that directly makes them a fan, or just a "Like" for the webpage in question.

It really depends on what you use you Facebook/Google+ page as.... Is it purely for SEO purposes or is it a relationship tool?

If it is a relationship tool and you are an established brand i would suggest getting them into your circle/fanbase as this is a more longterm strategy for relationship building as well as Brand Building.

If you use your social media for purely SEO reasons, then the direct webpage would seem to make more sense.

Should a business have more followers or +1's?

Of course you would want both but if a decision needs to be made of which one you need to decide which one will benefit you the most.... It is situational and no blanket answer can really answer this question in my opinion.

w00t!

This doesn't quite answer the question that's being asked. I'm thinking this would be fairly obvious to Google and wouldn't quite look natural to boot.
