Sooner or later it had to happen. Spammers / SEOs now have Google +1 plus packages for sale. For example, on Plussem.com (a unit of SEOShop.com) a package of 50 pluses costs $ 20, 250 - $ 70, and 2000 - $ 360. Of course, the prices are slightly too high, and in other places you can buy pluses from the first day of launching the social network, but this is not important.
The company's website claims that buying +1 supposedly “helps your website advance in search results, because you show Google that the content on your site is valuable to real people and is not spam.” In other words, you should buy their spam SEO package to prove to Google that there are no spam promotion methods. Well, the typical logic of SEO-optimizers.
Interestingly, Plussem is making every effort to make spamming pros look as authentic as possible. They promise that all voices come from real Google accounts with a verified phone (Phone Verified Accounts), without using bots, manually clicked by real people who come to your site. Supposedly cheating is not tracked, because the pluses come from different IP addresses. In addition, the wrap is stretched for several days to look natural.
Now it’s clear why Google still doesn’t consider these results in ranking on a large scale, and also why Google
follows the mouse cursor on each page with the +1 button set (joke, they’re actually following the cursor to generate random numbers although who knows?) and why they launched a campaign to
mass-delete fake accounts registered with fake names and pseudonyms
from the social network Google+ .

If Google really decides to cross the social network with search and starts to take into account the votes +1 for ranking search results, then they will have to start a long and protracted war with the million army of SEO-shnik. Experts agree that the future of search technologies is associated with the introduction of social functionality, but maybe it is not necessary to do this?
