I'm a professional SEO but I haven't done a lot of testing with +1. I may never. I think it's tacky and easily gamed.

That said, it's my understanding +1 is not a signal yet, but will be (albeit of little weight). Not worth worrying about.

I must be missing something. You're a professional SEO, you believe that at some point in the future Google will in some way factor +1 button activity into the search results, and yet you think it's not worth worrying about? How... odd.

Go ahead. Put that stupid +1 button on your website. Tell your mother and all your friends to click on it.

I hope you're my competition :)
