Forget everything else, assume Google Plus sucks at social networking, but Google can influence your website’s search engine rankings significantly – that is the truth.

you might get 10 recommends / likes from your facebook link but in return you'll get facebook referral traffics, Google gives you organic traffic.

I don't use any of them btw, it clutters my site and slows down the page loads

maybe in time, Google + will give us what facebook can give

Here's the problem. In all your tracking data like Google analytics or extremetracker they say hits are coming from either facebook.com, google.com or plus.google.com. Now most of ye are looking at plus.google.com and saying it's low which is no doubt is except in extreme cases. When you get a hit from plus.google.com it's someone coming directly from the Google social network area. The problem is having a Google+ button on your site where you can have people +1 your site means your pages show up higher among your friends in google search results. When people click on these higher search results they show as google.com refer which is organic which is technically is BUT it's influenced by the +1 button. This makes is difficult to track how effective the +1 button is on your site but doing what most people do and looking at plus.google.com for referrals is the totally wrong thing to do and shows a complete misunderstanding of how Google+ button works. Remember clicking a +1 button doesn't even show up in your stream so why would it bring traffic? Look more into linking your Google Profiles and authors etc and you'll get a better indication of how good Google+ is.

In conclusion Google+ button does not work the same as the Facebook like button.
