We recommended website owners to use the Google +1 share widget when we rated it as the best share widget in the market today. In the meantime Google seems to taking things really seriously regarding the share widget and it seems to be listening to website owners on that matter. This is pretty evident from the latest that we hear Google is doing with the widget.
Webmasters have always asked about suggesting more to their site readers. That' how Google says they started on this little but helpful feature. Starting today they are rolling a new feature, recommendations, on the plus one button. On the sites that have it (or will), once a user hover the mouse on the +1 button, you will see recommended articles from the same domain or sub domain that the +1 is on. This is a very nice feature to have for users, who look out for more informative recommendations on the same platform and for the webmasters in order to gain more readers and pageviews.
Yes, pageviews! I for instance will love to be suggested some articles from the same site that I keep visiting for information. If I am a webmaster of a site, that means the user stays glued on the site for more time and views more pages! What' more that as a webmaster, if I have the button already implemented on my site; Google says I won't have to worry about doing anything more. It will work out of the box and with the same implementation from which I implemented the +1 button on my site.
As a note, the feature is still in the preview mode and we got it from Google Plus Platform Preview where the search giant announces the features before they are available for general use. So if you are looking to get this feature on your site, this is the place to go!
Try it today once you get it for your site or on our site (yes we already have it :) ) and let us know how you think it is! Happy Crunching till then.
Update: 9th July 2012
As per the mail that we received from Google, the Recommendations feature is now available to all users. So if you have a +1 Button on your site, just hover the mouse on it and see the related articles; just like your site or blog readers would see. Here is the mail shot ;) for more info and confirmation:
