LinkedIn Profile Pictures in Search
-
Has anyone else noticed profile pictures alongside LinkedIn profiles appearing in search, similar to websites with Google authorship enabled? I saw this happening briefly today across multiple verticals and the images seemed to be a bit larger than authorship images. It was also strange that this was happening for some profiles and not others (number of connections appeared to be irrelevant). I didn't get a chance to grab a screen cap before it was gone, but I thought this was interesting and hadn't seen it discussed anywhere else.

I've read about this but haven't seen it happen with my own profile yet. Do you know what's contributing? I'd love mine to show up but can't get it working yet.

I noticed that my LinkedIn profile picture is showing up higher in image search these days. I didn't notice anything close to what you report. I don't really pay much attention to my name surname queries, but I can say I'll do so a couple times a month. It's likely a fluke of attribution.

Getting Youtube Channel to Appear in Own Brand Search Results
Hi There When searching for a company's name, the company's YouTube channel infrequently appears on page 2, and more often than not a single video is displayed rather than the channel itself. If you search for Moz, there video's appear on page 1. https://www.google.co.uk/search?safe=active&sxsrf=ACYBGNSFXYC_ZW2NSU7MGBPkVLQaKwArZA%3A1574343148737&source=hp&ei=7JHWXamfKrC7gwf1roS4BA&q=moz&oq=moz&gs_l=psy-ab.3..35i39l2j0i67j0i131i67j0i67l6.680.953..1052...0.0..0.86.239.3......0....1..gws-wiz.......0i131.PYRZrWhmps0&ved=0ahUKEwipxYehtfvlAhWw3eAKHXUXAUcQ4dUDCAg&uact=5 I've added a rich schema link on the site to the YouTube channel, but could I ask what else I can do, either on the site or on YouTube to create a stronger connection between our brand name and our YouTube channel? Many Thanks In Advance For Your Assistance

Purchasing a Google Plus Profile
A client of mine has the opportunity to purchase a google plus profile from a now defunct competitor. Essentially the profile is in tens of thousands of circles, so it may be a decent idea just from a marketing standpoint. When it comes to SEO I am wondering about a few things Is this against Googles rules? Has there been any proof of authorship playing a role in SERP rankings? So if there was an article where the author was in 50 circles compared to the same article where the author was in 50,000 circles would it effect the rankings at all? Have there been any studies done that show that the +1 (from Google Plus users) effects SERP rankings? Sorry for all the questions, but this is an interesting opportunity. Thanks in advance!

What if an employee leaves and removes Rel=Author verification from their Google Plus profile?
What if someone leaves your company and removes your site from their Google Plus profile (under "Contributor To"). Does that kill all the rel=author on the pages written by this former employee? (Should you use the email verification with employees to avoid this scenario? Email verification is a big hassle for us.)

Google Autor Profiles in Big Companies
I work for a big company and they want to use the google autor tag. The goal is to get the rich snippets and better rankings in the future from having a trusworthy autor for each topic building up followers basically. The problem is that the company does not want to pay employees to build up their own autor profiles/trust since an employee could leave the company any time and we would have to start from scratch building another autor profile. Now I know that google only wants real people in google plus bla bla ... bla bla ... How do you guys handle this problem? I thought of having our autors sharing one made up autor profile which is owned by the company.

On the new Google+ Local pages, I was wondering if anyone knew how to add the "Follow" button to lead to the company Google+ profile.
I saw a video on an Internet marketing blog that showed a company's Google+ Local page with a "Follow" button on it so people could follow their company Google+ profile.

Add pictures to website or Slideshare
For a law firm website looking to increase its traffic by offering pictures of cars that were in accidents, would it be more advantageous to add the pictures to the website directly (my inclination) or to Slideshare and put the embed code on the site? Also, we will have an abundance of pictures over time. How would you organize them on the site to maximize their SEO benefit? Have a picture landing page, then links to individual months from the landing page? Finally, assuming I go with a landing page with links to the months of the year (where that months pictures are stored), should each picture ultimately reside on its own page or is it sufficient to have all pictures for that month on one page?
