Trouble implementing rel=publisher
-
I am trying to implement rel=publisher but am having some difficulties.
Although I have over 1000 fans when I try and verify my page I get a message from Google that "Your page does not have enough followers to be eligible for verification"
I have the following code on my pages:
<td id="ctl00_header_socialctrl_tdgooglepluslinkctrl"> <a href="<a class="webkit-html-attribute-value webkit-html-external-link" href="https://plus.google.com/+thelotter/posts" target="_blank">https://plus.google.com/[myname]/posts" id="ctl00_Header_socialCtrl_GooglePlusLinkCtrl_hyperLinkSocial" target="_blank" class="socialIcon googlePlusIcon"></a href="<a></td id="ctl00_header_socialctrl_tdgooglepluslinkctrl">
What should I be doing differently?
Thanks!

Hi there! Martijn altered your code snippet, which was missing the rel="author" attribute. You should be able to "select all" and then copy and paste the code. Please let us know if that works. Thanks!

Hi Martin,
I think I missed part of your answer.... what was your advice for me?
-
<td id="ctl00_header_socialctrl_tdgooglepluslinkctrl"> <a href="<a href="https://plus.google.com/+thelotter/posts" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://plus.google.com/[myname]/posts" id="ctl00_Header_socialCtrl_GooglePlusLinkCtrl_hyperLinkSocial" target="_blank" class="socialIcon googlePlusIcon" rel="publisher"></a href="<a></td id="ctl00_header_socialctrl_tdgooglepluslinkctrl">
-
The code is as follows:
<td id="ctl00_header_socialctrl_tdgooglepluslinkctrl"> <a href="<a href="https://plus.google.com/+thelotter/posts" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://plus.google.com/[myname]/posts" id="ctl00_Header_socialCtrl_GooglePlusLinkCtrl_hyperLinkSocial" target="_blank" class="socialIcon googlePlusIcon"></a href="<a></td id="ctl00_header_socialctrl_tdgooglepluslinkctrl">
(only thing different is myname is my brand)
We have a Google + icon linking to my page and I don't want it to say on my website homepage "find us on Google".
Shouldn't the above code be okay or does it need to be modified?

Are you sure you're using the right elements and tags to verify that your Google+ account belongs to your Web site. The correct code for this should be:
rel="publisher">Find us on Google+
More information on connecting your Google+ account can be found here.

can you let us see your rel=publisher code? Its weird because it should be pretty straight forward

Will the articles or blog-posts will get more visibility and do better in ranking by publishing them in different formats like videos?

Authorship Implementation - Is it needed to place Rel='Publisher' on every page on eCommerce
Hi, On my eCommerce site I've placed rel='publisher' only on the homepage and rel='author' on all of the article pages. Is that the way to do it? Do I need to add rel='publisher' also on the article pages besides for rel='author'? P.S
Social Media | | BeytzNet
Even though I placed rel='publisher' only on the homepage, when I use Google's test tool (http://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/richsnippets) I see my publisher ID also on product category pages (that don't have publisher nor author on them but do have regular +1 buttons). How is that? (bacuase of the +1 button)1 -
Implementing Pinterest On Site and Social Snippets
Hi can someone confirm, does Pinterest use Open Graph Protocol? If you use the Pinterest Widget builder - http://business.pinterest.com/widget-builder/#do_pin_it_button Will the image you place in the widget replace the image Pinterest selects if it does use the Open Graph Protocol? The site already uses Open Graph Protocol for Facebook and Google+. It also uses Twitter cards for twitter. It would be good if we don't need to add more html (such as from the Pinterest widget builder) for Pinterest. -- Matt

Rel publisher code implementation
Hi,We have had Rel=publisher implemented on our Blog for sometime, and in the Rich Snippets for our Brand name i can see data and some of our latest news articles do appear. I am not convinced the Meta tag has been implemented correctly however and would appreciate a second opinion. The code we have is as follows: <div class="<a class="attribute-value">g-plusone</a>" data-href="<a class="attribute-value">https://plus.google.com/116305698538579695036/posts?hl=en-GB</a>" rel="<a class="attribute-value">publisher</a>">div> Looking around its recomended to add this as a link element, and the page we do link to is the comment section not the home page that would end after our company ID. Now i dont know HTML (Something i really need to remedy) but would this be an issue? The Rich snippet testing tool also does not recognise the code on the blog pages.

SEO and AddThis implementation question
We recently implemented AddThis social sharing on our Website. I am seeing an undesirable side-effect. In Firefox and Chrome browsers, some kind of tracking snippet appears to be appending to our URLs. This is not happening in IE (or if it is it isn't visible). I am concerned about how these URLs look in the address bar to our visitors and I'm also worried about potential duplicate content issues arising when a spider crawls the site. It appears to only be an issue with our product detail pages. The category pages all seem fine. [I am sure this is because social sharing button are only installed on the product pages]. Here is an example: http://www.ccisolutions.com/StoreFront/product/williams-sound-personal-pa-377#.UFnvkVG-7Aw This URL should be: http://www.ccisolutions.com/StoreFront/product/williams-sound-personal-pa-377 Is there a workaround for this problem? Has anyone else experienced this issue and found a solution? Thanks!

Is it wise for employees to be tied to a company's content with rel=author?
We're an e-commerce company that sells consumer goods. We are launching a blog that will have advice, tips, etc. on topics related to our industry. I'd like for us to implement rel=author on the content. If we rel=author the content to an employee, what are the possible repercussions if that employee leaves the company? I know the markup is pretty new and hasn't been widely implemented, but has anyone dealt with this?

Need advice about publishing free images
We produced a Movember poster to use at our showroom to encourage customers to donate, and I published it on some of our blogs as to raise the profile of our campaign. We've been getting loads of hits from people searching for "Movember poster", but as it has our branding on it won't be much good to them. It's a good image which has been making people laugh, so I think it's worth publishing an unbranded version which people can use freely so long as they link back to us if they use it on a website. Obviously I can publish the unbranded version of the poster on our own websites, but I think it might be worth publishing it on free image sites as well. I've got no experience dealing with image publication, so just wondered if anyone can give me any suggestions about the best way to go about it.
