Google+1s do a lot help in boosting up the ranking of your website on SERP. Google itself said that +1 means that you the recommending the content on Google. They are also used to increase the Google page rank of the web page. But don't add +1s by fake accounts because Google is smarter enough to detect +1 by fake accounts or done through any social exchange website.
To the contrary, Matt Cutts just very recently said "When we look at +1, we’ve found it’s not necessarily the best quality signal right now."
Patently false.
The only thing that counts towards PageRank (PR) is the count of in-bound links to a page, and the PR of the pages on which those links appear.
I am using g+ for my site, but its hardly paying any benefit to me as visitors attracted via g+ are very few or we can say near to negligible.
Yes I am very well satisfied with the features and services of Google Plus. If offer many essential social media benefits. I have always focused to build a well designed profile on Google and it helped me a lot to do brand promotion.

We had it on our website for about 6-months and it was probably used 3-4 times. Looks useless to me at this point although if was used 100 times there might be some SEO value.
