What could Google+ do for your SEO?

[activitysuper]

If your a Google+ wizard and do everything right, so optimise your profile, pick up 1000's of followers, followers engage with your posts by adding a comment or a plus, followers are even going to your website and sharing content using the Google plus button etc.

What kind of effect would this have on your SEO? Would this kind of activity improve your Auth?

Side question: Forget the above, what movement would you expect if one of your pages received 1000 plus's from real users, would you expect to see a jump in SERP's

I know every website is different, im just looking to see what I could expect if the work was put in to achieve the above.

There are a few opportunities from Google+ the biggest of which is the impact a +1 for your site can have on the results of signed in users.

Beyond that, posts are indexed and you can create followed links from them so the more authority you build there, the more shares your posts get, I would imagine the more weight those links would carry.

I am unaware of any kind of experiment on this as it is hard to implement but there is certainly the ability to build links, improve visibility for logged in users and see your Google+ posts indexed as well.

Likewise, much like how you would comment on blogs or discussions, leaving high quality comments on high profile threads could drive traffic and raise your own visibility.

Experiment and let me know how you get on.
