Google released recently there +1 Button that will show publicly what you like, agree with, or recommend on the web. When you +1 an article or tutorial, your name will appear under that article when that article appears in search results. You can also find out what articles your friends read and liked. This according to Google is aimed to make Google Search results more relevant and useful. For Bloggers like you, I am sure this is another great tool to increase the PR, relevancy and importance of your blog. According to me, the more +1'd this you receive the chances for your blog's PR to improve will increase also because the PageRank algorithm is linked to all activities that takes place in your blog.

Alternative Method
To add the +1 button to your blog directly without any code then you’ll need to enable Share buttons on Blogger. To do this, go to Design > Page Elements on your Blogger dashboard, find the Blog posts area, click on Edit, and select the “Show Share Buttons” option. If you are already using Share buttons, then you don't need to worry as the +1 button will automatically show up as a new share button.
