The new Google +1 button -- that's the big news story today. It takes a highly used Facebook function (the Like Button), incorporates a Youtube-like function (comment voting) and pushes those things out into the Google search results. I do have to admit that I was impressed that this worked for the small content creator, meaning that the +1 button can be incorporated into a single video, rather than working only on embeds and websites. If you're looking on information on how to make money on Youtube, this may need to become part of your marketing efforts. It will be interesting to see how the big names on Youtube configure a call to action to utilize this feature. As with money, this may become part of how to get more Youtube views. I'm testing it and will do another review when I have a little more experience with it. Two ways to initiate this function, that I could discern, through sharing it on Youtube and by placing a bit of code at the end of a webpage through the Adsense interface. I hope the folks at Google have or will enable some form of analytics that will show the usefulness of plus 1.
