Welcome to the Q&A Forum

I've been using Crowdcontent for article production, and always feel like I'm potentially missing out on some authority or social proof with visitors (and maybe Google?) by not attributing an author (Crowdcontent doesn't give you the name of the author, otherwise I would just use their name).  Would I be doing myself any favors by attributing myself as the author and pointing it back to my Google+ profile?  Thanks in advance for any guidance!
