What is the CODE for Google Authorship?
-
I set up my Google+ but am not using WP nor do I have a Plug-In so I need to manually enter the string of code into the html of my blog post.
Can someone give me the exact code to enter? I've read some info about this, but can't seem to get it right.
Thanks!

Thanks for peeking. I thought it could take up to two weeks though? When I tested in rich snipnets, my photo popped up and said I was verified. I hope I really am - yikes.
-
I don't see your photo or the other the authorship stuff on the SERP.
-
I THINK I may have figured it out! Can someone be so kind to check this link for me to see if it works? I put it in the structured data testing tool in WMT and it seems to work - I think!

Probably your best bet is to contact 3dcart support and tell them you need someone to help you.Give them these three links:
http://support.google.com/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=1408986
http://searchengineland.com/the-definitive-guide-to-google-authorship-markup-123218
http://yoast.com/push-rel-author-head/And ask them to help you decide which is the best way to implement it.
-
I'm using 3dcart and it has a built-in blog. I'm kind of confused how to implement Google authorship with that platform.
-
It's not something you add to your blog post, exactly. Can you say more about what blogging platform you're using?
-
I have found Search Engine Land's definitive guide to Google authorship very helpful.
It outlines all the steps you need to take in order to implement authorship markup.
Hope that helps,
Adam.

Google Authorship and the "Fishkin" Outburst! Sorry Rand ;)
Should companies now shift away from creating great content and invest the time and money into something else? After Rand tweeted his frustration at @JohnMu in relation to "Authorship CTR's", it got me thinking - should we really be blogging as much as we should? https://twitter.com/randfish/status/481948721031024641 I'm certain Google ditched author profile images to improve "mobile UX" and "CTR's" for "paid advertisers". So what I would really like to know is - should small businesses continue to focus on developing great content? How has your marketing strategy changed?

Authorship on Pages
Hi there - I have just been told that it is a big "no no" to add authorship to a standard page and that it should only be used on blog posts. Is this true? What are the negative effects of using authorship on a page? I added the rel="author" tag to a page that talks about a member of our team and a few weeks ago his picture started showing next to the search results entry on Google - great for click through rate, however is this improper usage? Any help welcome!

Writing on 2 Very Separate Topics. Will Authorship Be Affected?
Hi guys, During the day I'm a PPC and SEO associate at a software company that provides merchant accounts and payment processing for small business owners. Think PayPal meets Quickbooks. For this job, I write lots of content on payment processing, merchant accounts, the benefits of ACH transfers, etc. However, during the evenings, I work on my side-business, which is a fitness marketing company. For this site I'm doing lots of content production based on increasing gym membership, crossfit marketing, etc. I'm getting authorship for all of the posts I'm writing (my image is showing up in SERPs). Do you guys think there is any adverse effects to having authorship on content that is so drastically different? Will Google punish us for having 50% of my posts are about merchant accounts and the other 50% are about fitness marketing? Thanks!

Will authorship help or hurt us?
Our Client has a pest control site with tons of articles. We suggested they link their articles to their author. They said they want an allies they can keep separate. We said ok... From what I understand google uses author score to help determine rankings. If a author that all of a sudden has 400 pages of content attributed to him and he is new to google plus will this hurt his rankings? This is an area where I need to spend some time learning. thanks.

Not accepted in Google news.
Hallo, Our website was not accepted by Google news although we are confident that our site meets all the requirements. We see several other gambling sites already appearing within Google News’ pages, and we contend that, in most cases, our reporting is both timelier and more relevant. We hope you can give us any feedback. http://www.hetpokerspel.nl/nieuws Regards, Thijs Weinands

Why does my lousy little blog Rank number 1 on Google?
Search "Google Places Changes." My Blog, www.salesjumpstart.net/blog is ranked first. Has been for a week. Why? Makes no sense. I have been getting many first page Google results for 3 and 4 word keyword searches. The site or Blog just isn't that strong. http://www.google.com/search?q=Google+places+hchanges&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a#sclient=psy&hl=en&client=firefox-a&hs=uFR&rls=org.mozilla:en-US%3Aofficial&source=hp&q=Google+places+changes&pbx=1&oq=Google+places+changes&aq=f&aqi=g2g-j1g-b1&aql=&gs_sm=e&gs_upl=4293l4293l0l4628l1l1l0l0l0l0l271l271l2-1l1l0&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.&fp=661c0b1152c259b4&biw=1024&bih=583

Google News Sitemaps
I've noticed that Google News has withdrawn the necessity for there to be a minimum of 3 numerical digits in the URL if you submit the content via a new sitemap. Is this 100% correct? I'm working on a site rebuild for a client that is where submission to Google News will be instrumental in their strategy. Are there are difference between UK and US submission as this is UK based?
