The long-awaited Google Authorship Markup Tool was
introduced in June 07, 2011, announced Via Google
Webmaster Central Blog. Authorship will allow you to link
your Google+ personal profile to your unique content at any place around the
web, although Author
Rank
is the concept that Google could use data gathered via Authorship to build
trust and recognition results for personal authors that might influence search
result rankings with regards to content.
What is Authorship?
Google Authorship is an effective way to get quality
content on the Google’s search result. It is markup system which links author
to their work, through their Google+ profile.
Setting up Authorship
There are a few points you may need so that you can
step up Author Rich Snippets:
1.
The very first thing that you may need is a
Google+ account.
2.
You can sign up for Google Authorship at https://plus.google.com/authorship. You
may be required to submit your e-mail address to Google. Regardless of how many
articles or blog posts you publish on your own domain, you simply need to
submit the email to Google just once. This email address will then be included
to the Contributor section of the Google+ profile.
3.
Click the Contribute to section with your
Google+ profile. Click on “Add a custom link” and type in the URL for your
site. Check out the snapshot mentioned below…
4.
Add a link to your Google+ profile from
your webpage. You need to put this code on the <head> section of your
website – when you don’t have access, asks your website company to add it for
you. The link should look like this:
<link rel=”author” href=” [profile_url]“>
You need to replace
[profile_url] with your Google+ profile URL, so the link would look like this:
<link rel=”author” href=”https://plus.google.com/111510151647324850887″>
5.
Once you create your Google Authorship as
explained above you may check your results while using Structured Data Testing
Tool. Click here to confirm you set up Google Authorship at http://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/richsnippets. (You
could possibly not see benefits quickly, so be patient & check back in a
few days in case your site won't appear the first time.)
Enter
your site and click Preview. Google will show the results below and confirm no
matter whether or not you've properly claimed Authorship.
Bottom Line
When
you follow these techniques probably right after a while Google starts showing
your authorship picture along with your information beside both of your content
into their searches, while I have to declare that they may not assurance that,
so all the best on this.
