Yes, it will have an impact on SEO.

Similar to how Twitter links help to rank a page higher in Google search, +1 will have a similar effect.

The higher rated the page is from users on Google+, the higher chance the page has of ranking higher in Google search.

What is still unclear is to how Google can stop the spammers from +1'ing pages that should really have a low quality score.

if you have more +1 you will surely goes up and if you are using Google+ this will make a big diff as per below (taken from http://www.google.com/webmasters/+1/button/)

+1 helps people discover relevant content—a website, a Google search result, or an ad—from the people they already know and trust. Adding the +1 button to your pages lets users recommend your content, knowing that their friends and contacts will see their recommendation when it’s most relevant—in the context of Google search results.

When a signed-in Google user is searching, your Google search result snippet may be annotated with the names of the user's connections who've +1'd your page. If none of a user's connections has +1'd your page, your snippet may display the aggregate number of +1's your page has received.

Content recommended by friends and acquaintances is often more relevant than content from strangers. For example, a movie review from an expert is useful, but a movie review from a friend who shares your tastes can be even better. Because of this, +1’s from friends and contacts can be a useful signal to Google when determining the relevance of your page to a user’s query. This is just one of many signals Google may use to determine a page’s relevance and ranking, and we’re constantly tweaking and improving our algorithm to improve overall search quality. For +1's, as with any new ranking signal, we'll be starting carefully and learning how those signals affect search quality.

yes to stop the spammers (to stop the click frauds in other words) google will use ip address, CTR normalisation and other variables. I am more interested as to how google+ would be beneficial for the businesses and when the thing will go worldwide, the power of network across the google will come handy. So brace yourself.

I think it could really affect search engine optimizers in their daily work, but I guess it could somehow help them have a good approach in their businesses or what they have been up to in the online marketing industry.

Google +1 would make a great affect in the field of SEO since SEO ( Search Engine Optimization) requires ranking. Google +1 will increase the chances of your website being viewed since you will be open to a brand new set of audiences. In my prospective it's basically

More Views Of Your Account (which is backlinks to your original website(s)) = More traffic on your website(s) = A higher chances of people buying your product.
