Back in March of 2011, Google announced their new +1 button which would show up in the search results. This new button would allow you to "like" a web page that shows up in the results and thus give it a vote in favor of the search term you are querying.

More recently however, Google has announced that the +1 button can be used on any website. They have some code that you can add to your page and the button will appear for your visitors to vote in your favor. This can be another signal that Google will use in their coveted and complex ranking algorithm to display search engine results pages (SERPs).

Evan Gilbert from Google states:

Adding +1 buttons to your pages is a great way to help your content stand out in Google search. By giving your visitors more chances to +1 your pages, your search results and search ads could show up with +1 annotations more often, helping users see when your pages are most likely to be useful.

Considering more methods for getting links from sites that may really pass substantial link juice? Just in case you’ve overlooked them you need to consider sites with .gov and .edu extensions. Observe that while a great number of .gov and .edu sites rank very well the extension doesn't guarantee good link juice, hence, it's still smart to choose among the .edu and.gov sites you need to target to get back links. Generally though these websites rank pretty much simply because they get top quality links and therefore are of institutes which are trustworthy.

How do we get .gov and .edu sites to connect to your website?

Post comments on their blogs – Many blogs make use of the “no follow” attribute which may diminish the value of the links. So determine which blogs to sign up in and comment on those that preferably do not use “no follow” but additionally enables a hyperlink for your site. Be careful and tactful as you don’t want to link drop this way and get censored for this irritatingly obvious tactic.
