It is highly recommend that you set-up Google Authorship with your Wealthy Affiliate account. This allows all of your content at WA to get indexed with your Google Authorship Mark-up, ie, you Google+ profile pic beside all of your WA content.

This includes:

  • Blog Posts
  • Discussions
  • Training
  • Your Profile

As a Premium member, you get full referral credit for any of your content that gets indexed in Google that leads to both free sign-ups and premium memberships. This alone is a business model that you can leverage from and earn a significant amount of income. Adding Google Authorship will positively impact your rankings in Google along with your click-through rate.

Again, here is the link that you want to add within your Google + account. Remember, you want to add it as a "Contributor".

After you have set this up, here is the link to the Rich Snippet Testing Tool at Google that you use to verify if you have set-up your authorship correctly:

Remember to test your profile link. If you have any questions or comments, please leave them below and I will be more than happy to help you out.

**NOTE: If you have just set-up your Google Authorship here at WA, it will take a few days (sometimes longer, sometimes shorter) for your actual Google content to get reindexed with your Google plus image beside it. Also, sometimes Google is selective in WHO it will index with authorship. There is a more detailed explanation on this within the Google discussion forum:

If you use the Rich Snippet tool and you see authorship there, then it has been set-up correctly. :)

When I check it in rich snippets tool it shows up fine but when I do a search for it in Google there is no picture there. What is going on with that?

It takes a bit of time for Google to reindex your existing content with your authorship if you have just set it up. It is not instant, but any content going forward will get indexed with the authorship right away.

Yes, absolutely. It will just take a bit of time to reindex this content...usually within a few days though it will be reindexed with yoru authorship.

Cool. I did not know we can do this. I've done it successfully, and I think now I'll start thinking of some content for my WA blog.

Yeah, cool. Just contribute naturally and regularly. It will not only help with your WA rank and your following (and street cred), you will also gain more and more credits as a result of this over time.

Very Important, thanks for the hand up Carson in the Google Search on SateliteMike with your authorship credentials.

Yeah, setting up Google Authorship these days and the credibility you gain form your content here at WA will also reflect your other rankings around the web.
