Is it for the search engine rankings? Is it for targeting to more clearcut demographics with ads? (which is a huge business)
Is it usable for anything else?

Google can track your activity on every website that uses the +1 button. I'm sure you can figure out why that would be useful?

Data for advertising? Data for "Sparks" to hook you into G+?
