-FALSE ALARM- My Google posts listed as 2nd result on Google's Search!
Edited: This was a false alarm and thank you both Mel and Mira for letting me know how to test real google results using Incognito session!
Wow... I don't know how else to say this.... but I am so excited!
2 of my articles which I have posted onto my Google+ profile returned as the 2nd result on the first page of Google Search!!
Well, technically it is still not my site that is being returned as the 2nd result, but it certainly looks like posting our articles onto our Google+ profiles does get us really good results.
First of my 2 posts is the 'August Smart Lock' review is listed higher than CNET's review of the same product...
and my article on 'What is Apple HomeKit' is listed higher than Apple's own website on HomeKit...
Granted, if a user clicks on the link, they'll only be directed to my Google+ post. But all it takes now... is for them to take 1 more click and that will lead them straight to my post on my site...
I'm just soooo stoked now!!!!

Awww shucks! Looks like you are right...
Well.. that was a short-lived excitement! hahaha
Thanks for letting me know. Learned something new today!
It's only visible for you...it has you photo to indicate it's Google+ post...viewing as incognito is the only way to check it properly. Posting on Google+ gives you a nice authority link though!
Did you check in an incognito session to make sure this is the case? If not, you may be surprised. Google will always rank your content highly in a search from your own computer. The real key is to see what it looks like to others via an incognito session.
Just keep working on your site. Create more content and continue to blog. Posting on Google +, Facebook and Twitter will benefit you in building traffic for your site. Soon you will see great results in your niche.
