Google plus one votes disappearing

    Hello everybody,
    Have anyone experienced Google Plus one drop offs?
    Looks like I am losing lots of votes nowadays.
    Whats causing this?
    Also buying plus ones seems to be not a really good idea in this scenario. Is this happening with bought Google plus votes only?

    What browser are you using? On Chrome I don't have the ability to vote, but I do in FireFox? Strange.:confused:

    Yes, I've had this happen recently too. The graph in google webmaster tools looks weird.

    Feel like i'm losing more plus ones than gaining them the last few weeks. Really annoying.

    It really sucks.
    Its often difficult to achieve those votes. friends and colleagues leave a few votes today, I see the counter lowers tomorrow. This is disgusting.
    why Goooogle doesnt show the actual vote count?

    Facing the same problem, lost few vote but not much. Probably purchased plus votes are disappearing.
    Buying plus votes, likes etc are not useful actually. Better not to go for buying.

    Might be you got lots of votes in few days or through any software.This can be the reason.

    I read the reason here: http://alexwebmaster.com/fake-plus-ones-study/
    That's why googleplus is no more like facebook.

    Paying for +1's can cause a number of issues...

    1. If they are bots, Google will eventually detect and delete them (causing your +1's to drop as they're deleted)
    2. If they are real humans who have been offered incentive to +1 something, most will eventually drop their +1's once they have reached their own goal, usually getting credits to get +1's on their own sites.
    3. If Google detects YOU buying them, they'll delete your G+ account.

    All in all it's not worth it. Real people, who haven't been offered incentive to +1 something, rarely undo their actions.

    Google is always against buying or selling anything, be it vote or links. once caught will loose everything. So don't pay for votes and links. Make sure you get votes from genuine accounts, if you're involved in any votes exchange program.

    I didn't realize it could be bots voting. I guess now I know why I lost a few myself.

    Or it could be because of cancelled accounts that google deemed to be fake.

    I've also experienced that problem with my Google+ posts and I Think this happens because of fast voting or likes, this is the violation of Google's protocols you should follow the rules or regulation.
