How google plus 1 votes can affect your position in google search engine? On my website i have a google plus button, i have just 3 votes, if i buy lets say 100 votes, but slowly, in a month, will this affect my ranking positively?

There is no way that having social likes, such as from Google+, will affect your ranking negatively. Social is a huge factor in rankings now, so yes having as many natural Google+ votes is a great way to positively affect your ranking!

With the key here being natural Google+ votes. If you have an auto repair shop in Texas and 103 votes, with 100 of those votes being from Austria, that will NOT look natural.

Try to avoid generating (or worse, buying) +1 votes from untrustworthy sources. My advice to you is this: build a great Google+ page for your website (fill all the details, and even add content, as valuable as you can). Then, check the top 50 pages on Google+. Add them to your circles. And wait. People will start appearing from the network and will start adding you on their circles. When you get the first 100, use the share options of the circle and write something like this: "If you like our content/info, please give us your vote by clicking on the +1 button on our front page" and place a link to your entrance page. Now you'll get natural and good votes. And, yes, in my opinion, because of the trends on the market, with social media becoming a key factor, I even suspect that soon the +1 will indeed replace the PR (Page Rank).
