Have you ever recommended a product, company or brand publicly whilst signed into your Gmail account? Well Google have been quietly collecting all of those likes, rating and comments and linking them to your Google + profile.

This means that when advertisers appear in Google's search engine results their link will also feature the faces and names of Google + users alongside their star ratings, recommendations and reviews.

Under "Shared Endorsements" even if you're not a regular Google + user but are signed into your Gmail account when you go about your business commenting on the products your like, love and loathe, every tag, like and comment is being preserved to be implemented within the scheme later.
