Add Google Plus One Button on Blogger

Why Should I add the Google +1 Button?

1. The Plus one button will have a  major impact on your Search results. When a friend of yours does a search in Google, your +1s will count.
2. You can get a detailed report about the +1 metric and how it affects your search traffic over at Webmaster Tools.

Adding Google Plus one (+1) button to Blogger

1. Go to Blogger Dashboard > Design > Edit HTML and click on the button which says “Expand widget Templates”. Look for </head> and immediately above that paste

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://apis.google.com/js/plusone.js">
{lang: 'en-US'}
</script> 

2. Now look for <data:post.body/> and immediately above that paste

<div style='float:right'>
<g:plusone size="standard" expr:href="data:post.canonicalUrl"/>
</div>

3.Save the template, and you should see the Google  +1 buttons on your blogger blog.
You think its cool?, then  +1 it :P
