Authorship for articles with more than one author
-
Hello,
Is there any way to do authorship for articles with more than one author listed? If so, how?
-
What's a good guide for doing this? We're using Joomla and if Google just displays the first author that'll work great.
-
Yep, in terms of Google picking it up in the SERPs, they are only going to display 1 author (if appropriate).
So, it depends on whether or not that is your intended goal.

Hi Bob,
Remember that still if you use this plugin for co-authors Google will always pick the first editor and use their picture in the attribution for Google Authorship in the SERPs (in which I don't say that they won't attribute it to both but just show the first).

Co-authorship is definitely possible.
If you are on wordpress you can use this https://wordpress.org/plugins/co-authors-plus/
It's pretty much the same concept for other platforms.

In counting words for a "long article," do comments count in the word count?
As Moz and others have proven, long articles help ranking, linking and sharing. My question is, do the comments at the end of an article count in the word count as Google counts it.

Why aren't our articles ranking in Google?
We have a website promoting Pakistani lawyers online. The website also has an articles section where we post articles reviewing different legal cases and laws. All of our articles are written by actual lawyers are high quality and unique. Website itself doesn't have large page/site authority but its not a baby website either. I can't figure out why our articles don't rank on Google. Here are few of the articles:

http://www.pakistanilawyers.com/articles/pakistani-law-insolvency-guide-460/ I don't know whether its simply because there are not enough links pointing to our website or if there is a problem in the website itself that i can't find. Thanks for the help0 -
One product two audiences, two pages or one
We have a product on the site that is used by two different groups of people, who refer to it with different terms. One group refers to it as "Lace yarn" plus around another 15 similar terms and the other group refers to it as "Crewel wool" with also 15 similar terms. I am having difficultly deciding how to approach this. At the moment it is on one page (http://www.renaissancedyeing.com/en/category/threads-yarns/crewel-wool/). would it be a good idea to split this into two pages?

If i only want to rank for one specific keyword and use it in all my page titles, will it negatively affect my rankings?
If i want to rank highest for one specific keyword (virtualization management, for example) and use that keyword in all the titles on my website, will that negatively affect my search rankings? SEOmoz is telling me that i should use unique titles for my different pages to ensure that they describe each page uniquely and don't compete with each other for keyword relevance.

Transferring authority from one domain to another
My dilemma For example: If I have a website ranking at number 11 for (Keyword) and there is a site named www.(Keyword).com ranking at number 12 for (Keyword), if I were to buy this site and redirect to my own site, would this be at all beneficial? Any advice would be much appreciated!
