Is it currently possible to have a company logo appear with a Google search result?
-
Hello,
We're experimenting with rich snippets. It seems fairly easy to attain authorship through Google and have a headshot appear in a search result...
However, we are wondering if it is possible to have a company logo appear (perhaps through rel="publisher"?). Surprisingly, I can't find much info on this.
Thanks!

Rel=publisher will display your company logo and Google+ page on the right hand side of branded search terms (search terms close to or exactly your company name).
Google will not allow you to upload a non-headshot (such as a logo) for a rel=author snippet that will appear directly in your search result.

I've considered this but would this be a problem considering it is not an author but a company? I'd like to see someone who is implementing this where they are using their logo.
Meaning wouldn't Google frown upon this?

you are talking about something like this
or this
Either way there seems the answer is yes

here is a great blog post on why you should do it as well

the reason I ask is you say company logo. You could make your Personal & company photo the same in Google + photo your company logo and thus it would show up as you.
I did a little research and I think that is what you have to do is make them both one you can only have one unfortunately what I understand however these links I believe will shed a lot more light on this. I strongly suggest using a photo of yourself or your company's logo regardless and putting it as Google author

What Google Analytics Data to Share with Potential Website Buyer
Hi Mozzers,
Industry News | | emerald
We have contacted our competitors to let them know we would like to sell our website (domain and all content). One of them has asked for Google Analytics data. Which parts of this and how is this data best shared in such a case? As this is the opening of offers, I'm assuming some kind of PDF export with a summary of some Analytics data is sufficient to see who is serious. Then for those who are serious more data could be shared. Or is it ever ok to share your full Analytics with a competitor? Would love to hear what data and best practises are used to share this kind of information. Thank you.0 -

Has someone filed a large number of DMCA “takedown” requests against your site? If so, look out. That’s the latest penalty that may cause you to rank lower in Google’s search results. It joins other penalties such as “Panda” and “Penguin.” We’re dubbing it the “Emanuel Update” in honor of Hollywood mogul Ari Emanuel, who helped prompt it.
