Google Authorship
-
Hey Guys,
I'm trying to setup an Authorship profile for a client of mine and I am not sure if I have done it correctly.
Here is what I did:
- I put my clients blog in the 'Contributor To' section on Google + (https://plus.google.com/u/0/116742052385950982723/about)
- I confirmed my email address on Google +
- I put the Google + profile link at the end of each article
- I put the Google + profile link in my user account inside of WordPress
- One thing im not too sure about is that there is a link to my clients Google + Page (Not Profile) in the footer, will this prevent authorship?
Have I missed anything?
Thanks!
-
Always welcome :}

Thanks Ayaz!
-
Thanks a lot!
-
and it is not a correct rel=author link
[Example]([profile_url]?rel=author)
-
Another indicator for authorship is the use of the verified email address used on profile
If this is used, and all other authorship indicators are set up, this can show authorship
hope this helps

Hi Shane,
Thanks for that!
Any idea why my homepage is coming up under authorship?
Also I have included my Google + link at the end of my guest posts, why aren't they included under authorship?
Sample Link:

Your help would be much appreciated!

Hello,
Take a link of the article/page which got the link in bottom as you mentioned,
paste the link here : http://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/richsnippets in this page, and test it. if it verifies then its fine. if not it will show you where the problem is.
Hope that helps

Hi,
Sounds correct, but the best way to make absolutely sure of markup is the rich snippet testing tool as it gives you debuggin hints or tells you if correct.

5. No this should not prevent Authorship - Just make sure you have submitted the author

Hi,
Without looking at the site, it can be a bit difficult to see if you have things set-up correctly.
You mention WordPress. Have you considered using an Authorship Plugin? I know there are many out there and I assume most work just fine.
I believe you can even set-up single person authorship through Yoast's SEO plug-in.

Google Analytics Social Settings
Hi, I'm a bit confused about the actual purpose of the social settings in Admin > Property > Social Settings. I've read some blogs saying it just helps analyse traffic that has arrived from your social media pages. Then I've found other sources saying you should add your own domain in there so you can track likes and shares sent from your website to social media platforms. What do I actually need to put in there and how does it help my data? Thanks!

SaaS to manage Several Google Places/G+ accounts
Hi, how are you? I have a client that is a company that has aproximately 30 franchises. For each franchise, I created a Google Places (now My Business) profile, and then for each profile I have a G+ profile. The problem is that I need a SaaS or a software that allows me to post in each of those profiles automaticaly, like Hootsuite (when I enter with the account I have registered the Places profiles, it catches the G+ profile of that person, not the GPlaces accounts). Do you know any? Thanks!

Is it possible to Merge a Google+ Page with Google Places/local Page on G+
I have seem to have a problem (well think its a problem!) We have a google+ page for our website/ brand (which is verified) and also seem to have a separate google places G+ page (the one with just two tabs at the top.. Photos and About). When you google our brand, google has added a google+ page link but this links to the places one and not our social g+ page. Is it possible to merge these two pages into one? ps i have added rel="publisher" directing to the main google+ page (not local) on the home page and the local G+ page is not verified. Ben

Has anybody else noticed that Google has made a significant change to their SERP? There is a lot of social data reported from LinkedIn, Youtube and Facebook (includes page likes and activity) when you search by company name. Thoughts anybody?

Will Google maintain its search engine power?
Reading through the SEOmoz threads, and also other forums, I can't help but notice that the majority of material covered is about SEO & SERP, white hat & black hat linking, social media blogs and articles, etc, etc. Everyone trying to scramble to the top of their market via Google. If Google brought out a release saying that hopping down the street naked & having a neighbour googling that you had, for improved SERP ratings, would produce a weird downtown scenario. What I am asking, is this: Does Google have too much power in determining to the world what is correct and what is not as a corporation. And are they and what they have a passing phase, or will they lose their dominance like Microsoft etc through technical change?

Google+ SEO value
Hello, We created a google+ page for our website and we would like to know what's best for SEO purposes. We've put +1 buttons on our website and when you use them it give a +1 to our website's url. Some other websites on the other hand make the button give a +1 to their website's page on Google + like this for instance: https://plus.google.com/u/0/113493854651753327245/posts So basically the number of +1s on the Google+ page increases. Which one is best to have my website rank higher for its keywords? Thanks for your help 🙂
