Finding writers with author rank
-
Hi i'm interested in finding writers who have author rank (Like Circles and Followers. ).
What is the easiest way to find these writers online, is there any tools out there which can automate this finding process?
Cheers,
Mark

Hi Mark
Currently there isn't anything out there that will list a G+ profile by Author Rank specifically (or an estimation of one), but there are a couple of tools that might help.
First is Author Crawler, which is best explained on the website.
Second is FindPeopleOnPlus. This can let you search for profiles by keyword, industry they work in, job title and so on - as well as letting you sort by circle count.
Naturally, one would assume that people with greater circle size might have a higher author rank, and then a quick google search for their name ("By First LastName") will show you if they regularly use author markup, which again would theoretically increase their author rank.
Hope this helps.

I don't know about automated software but I can think of two ways you'd find authority figures in your niche.
-
Do a search for your niche + blog. Open up the profiles of the people who already have rel=author setup. Check the "have them in circles" counts.
-
Directly search on G+ https://plus.google.com/ Do a search and then change the results to "People and Pages." Search beyond the brands for individual users.
No idea on the automated tools to find these writers with author rank (or at least authorship setup.) Having a G+ doesn't mean they've enabled authorship, though. The only way to guarantee that is to actually open users in your niche through search results when you see their photos. With Google Code search shut down, I can't think of a way to do a search for those with authorbox or something similar ... good question!

Interested ranking results
Hello, I have different pages that are written on the same model. I updated their content 2 weeks ago. Some of those climbed to 1 st page or beginning or 2 nd some didn't move or stayed where they originally were, 3 rd of 4 th page ? My question is whether there is a longer delay for some of them to rank (due to the term being more competitive for example) or if I should look somewhere else in maybe something that I wrote in the content of the pages that ranked versus those than didn't move. Thank you,

Keyword rank and redirecting
I'm creating a new amazon affiliate site. I've researched other successful sites. I've noticed that they are ranking for 1000s of keywords, but many of these long tail keywords are redirected back to a main page. I can see how this can reduce the overall total amount of content pages on the site. How are you able to rank for the keyword in the first place if the the page is redirected?

Highly Related, But Not Ranking
Hi Everyone! I'm doing a bit of research on a domain and I've come across something really odd. Doing a search for "asset based lending software" (not with the quotes), www.case.net doesn't show up anywhere in the first 100 results. However, at the bottom of the results in the "Searches related to asset based lending software" section, it lists "computer software enterprises inc" as the 2nd item (the company associated with www.case.net). Any ideas here? NdsoeNn.png

100% links within the website - could it rank?
Hi, If I create blog posts inside my website and link it back to my website, Would it still rank? I understand that its better to get links from the established domain. But I just wonder what kind of impact would my site have if the blog posts within my site link back to itself for ranking. Please let me know. thanks

Rank drop in June
Since fixing a major duplicate content issue in Dec 2012, our traffic saw steady and dramatic growth through the summer. It has started to settle down now and rankings have started to decline. I have a bad feeling that something is wrong but for the life of me I cannot figure it out. Our Moz rank is pretty high but some of our biggest keywords have gone from #2 to #9 in a fairly short time period which makes me very nervous. I am not even sure where to look at this point. Any suggestions are welcomed as I am kind of at a loss now but worry I am missing something basic. www.threeguysgolf.com
