It may. That depends on the carrier, the type of ticket, your previous driving record, and other factors. If you have previous tickets or accidents within the last five years you more than likely will experience an increase in your premium on your next renewal. Every carrier sets their own standards as to how they weigh different risks within the rating process.
Great question! Insurance companies base their rates on how risky it is to insure you. A driver that has many tickets or has accidents is much riskier than one who is a safe driver, and very rarely has a claim, or an accident. One ticket shouldn't raise your rate, (depending upon your company) if it's a rarity, and not one of many. If you have more questions, please feel free to contact me, I'm happy to help. Thanks for asking!

It very well can, yes. It is always best to discuss this with your Insurance Professional, because the terms and conditions of your policy may include "first violation forgiveness" in which case, you would not see a premium increase due to the infraction. If this is not available, then your company MAY impose a violation surcharge at the next anniversary renewal of your policy and this would stay with you as long as the violation is on the DMV record, which is usually 35 months.

Your car insurance rate may not increase when you get a ticket. One of the big variables is when your insurer checks your driving record. If they do not check your MVR report for a year (or longer) after you received the moving violation, you may see no increase.
