Google +1 is another way to increase traffic on your site by making your site visible to google search. Well the answer may lie in the google webmasters tool, recently i have logged in to my Google Webmasters tool account and i have seen there a new link that says Google +1 metrics, this means GOogle is also measuring the +1's in your website. So i believe +1 has an effect with your rankings and SEO.

The Google +1 button is definitely going to impact global search results. Google alludes to it in their +1 button page


Your +1's can help friends, contacts, and others on the web find the best stuff when they search.


Additionally, they also mention that +1 counts may be displayed within search results even if no one you know has +1'd your pages. From their blog:


Say, for example, you’re planning a winter trip to Tahoe, Calif. When you do a search, you may now see a +1 from your slalom-skiing aunt next to the result for a lodge in the area. Or if you’re looking for a new pasta recipe, we’ll show you +1’s from your culinary genius college roommate. And even if none of your friends are baristas or caffeine addicts, we may still show you how many people across the web have +1’d your local coffee shop.


This may not directly influence global rankings, but like microformats, it can encourage a user to click on your search results listing.
