Yes of course the new advanced features of goole+ is useful to invite and add more and more people in circle which will help to create traffic over a website.
Ofcourse it can help to drag some traffic but only using Google+ to increase websites traffic is not advantageous as it is not popular in visitors till now,so a balance should maintain between other social networks and G+.
You need to increase your circle first if you want to increase the traffic from Google+. As till your post will not get visible to more people your website will not going to be front of them, and for that you need the assistance of your circle so that they share your post and increase its visibility.
As Google+ is newer than other social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter so it has less members,so it is not as much as beneficial than Facebook to drag huge traffic but as it's PR and DA is good so it can not be ignored in traffic getting strategies.
Google + brings good traffic but not more than Facebook, atleast for my site. Because I am getting 500-600 clicks per day from Facebook and 300-400 from G+ which is more than twitter.
Yes it can be used to increase but for that purpose you need to have a good circle and also popularity. To increase your circle you should follow the others and appreciate their work by comments or likes, while to increase popularity post some interesting information there so that others like to follow you.
I think that yes it can be used to increase the traffic like other social networking sites,but it will take time for it to get fully established. Because we are still more familiar with the services of Facebook and Twitter.
Yes it is working fine for me too, as I am getting around 35% of traffic from Google, which I think is a huge proportion. I think that this could be because of my big circle there.
Millions of people are using Google+ now days it is becoming very good source of traffic but still it will take time to compete Facebook and Twitter as it is new.

As per my knowledge, Google+ will not offer good traffic like Twitter or Facebook. But it is user friendly and can connect with the prospective visitors, available on community pages.
