I cannot find a way to implement to the 2 Link method as shown in this post: http://searchengineland.com/the-definitive-guide-to-google-authorship-markup-123218

Did Google stop offering the 2 link method of verification for Authorship?
See this post below:
http://searchengineland.com/the-definitive-guide-to-google-authorship-markup-123218
And see this:
http://www.seomoz.org/blog/using-passive-link-building-to-build-links-with-no-budget
In both articles the authors talk about how to set up Authorship snippets for posts on blogs where they have no bio page and no email verification just by linking directly from the content to their Google+ profile and then by linking the from the the Google+ profile page (in the Contributor to section) to the blog home page.
But this does not work no matter how many ways I trie it. Did Google stop offering this method?

Hi Jeff, I've taken a look. It seems like your problem is coming from the fact that you seem to be running some sort of plugin that redirects your links. Every link on your site seems to have this structure: http://www.crmsoftwareblog.com/flow/post_click.php?OtherVariablesHere If you insist on using this redirection/tracking (I'm really not sure what it is) then I would argue that you need to exclude that link from the process. Google is not picking up the link as going to your Author profile on Google+ as it is redirected through another link. You pretty much need a naked link straight to your Google+ profile with the rel="author" tag attached in order for it to work. The good news is that your Google+ profile seems to be set up correctly. Come back to me about that URL redirection and we'll see if we can get you sorted. Regards Mark

Yeah please provide us with the URLs and I'll happily check it for you. I've done a number of these just recently and have seen some peculiar occurrences. Hopefully we can help.

Can you provide the URL of the article and your Google+ profile URL so I can check it?

Http and https issue in Google SERP
Hi, I've noticed that Google indexing some of my pages as regular http, like this: http://www.example.com/accounts/ and some pages are being indexed as https, like this: https://www.example.com/platforms/ When I've performed site audit check in various SEO tools I got something around +450 pages duplicated and showing me pairs of the same URL pages, one time with http and one time with https. In our site there is the possibility for people to register and and open an account, later on to login to our website with their login details. In our company I'm not the one that is responsible for the site's maintenance and I would like to know if this is an issue, and if this is an issue - to know what causing it and how to fix it so I'll be able to forward the solution to the person in charge. Additionally I would like to know in general, what is the real purpose of https vs. http and to know what is the preferred method that our website should use. Currently when URLs are typed manually to the address bar, all the URLs are loading fine - with or without https written at the start of each URL. I'm not allowed to expose our site's name, this is why I wrote example.com instead, I hope you can understand that. Thank you so much for your help and I'm looking forward reading your answers.

2 links on home page to each category page ..... is page rank being watered down?
I am working on a site that has a home page containing 2 links to each category page. One of the links is a text link and one link is an image link. I think I'm right in thinking that Google will only pay attention to the anchor text/alt text of the first link that it spiders with the anchor text/alt text of the second being ignored. This is not my question however. My question is about the page rank that is passed to each category page..... Because of the double links on the home page, my reckoning is that PR is being divided up twice as many times as necessary. Am I also right in thinking that if Google ignore the 2nd identical link on a page only one lot of this divided up PR will be passed to each category page rather than 2 lots ..... hence horribly watering down the 'link juice' that is being passed to each category page?? Please help me win this argument with a developer and improve the ranking potential of the category pages on the site 🙂

Redirecting blog.<mydomain>.com to www.<mydomain>.com\blog</mydomain></mydomain>
This is more of a technical question than pure SEO per se, but I am guessing that some folks here may have covered this and so I would appreciate any questions. I am moving from a WordPress.com-based blog (hosted on WordPress) to a WordPress installation on my own server (as suggested by folks in another thread here). As part of this I want to move from the format blog.<mydomain>.com to www.mydomain.com\blog. I have installed WordPress on my server and have imported posts from the hosted site to my own server. How should I manage the transition from first format to the second? I have a bunch of links on Facebook, etc that refer to URLs of the blog..com format so it's important that I redirect.</mydomain> I am running DotNetNuke/WordPress on my own IIS/ASP.Net servers. Thanks. Mark
