<script>
jQuery(document).ready(function () {
jQuery().googleTrafficPop({
   timeout: 30,
    title: 'Google+ Traffic Pop',
   message: 'Seems Like the Website Is Locked :P Just +1 and get Access to the Content!',
   url: 'http://facebookchatfun.blogspot.com',
   wait: 0,
   opacity: '0.45',
   advancedClose: false,
   closeable: false
    })
});
</script>

Customization:

1. Replace http://facebookchatfun.blogspot.com with any URL that you want. Remember: This would be the URL which will receive all the +1's from your visitors.


2. If anyone desire to increase the seconds of the timer then, he can replace 30 accordingly. Remember: The extension of the timer is in Seconds. 


3. If anyone want to display a Close button instead of timer then simply replace false  with true from the "closable" JavaScript command. 

That's all, now visitors have to +1 your site or they have to wait until the timers finishes. Since, this gadget catches the history. Therefore, after doing a +1 it will appear anymore. However, after removing history or clearing cache it will again start appearing.
