Are you using Google Authorship? Only a fraction of people actually set up Google Authorship correctly and that is why this tutorial is going to be so beneficial to you. It utilizes a Wordpress plugin that will help you easily install authorship on your Wordpress sites, either domains you own or free SiteRubix websites here at Wealthy Affiliate.

If you have any questions or issues, please leave your comments below.


If this plugin isn't working for you...

If this plugin isn't working for your theme, then you can very easily add Google Authorship to your website by adding a link to your main menu or Footer.

You would add a link to your profile like this:

Create a link to your Google+ profile from your webpage, like this:

 <a href="[profile_url]?rel=author">Google</a>

Replace [profile_url] with the your Google+ profile URL, like this:

  <a href="https://plus.google.com/109412257237874861202?
   rel=author">Me on Google+</a>


Your link must contain the ?rel=author parameter. If it's missing, Google won't be able to associate your content with your Google+ profile.

Hi Kyle, From my testing this plugin does not work, if it's setup on the blog used in video, that's also not working. If it's working you should see author image when testing with the rich snippet testing tool www.google.com/webmasters/tools/richsnippets

Good find Welshy, I will look into getting a new solution in place for the training here.

I'll also do video for the training and show how I normally setup authorship.

Having your web pages and publications show up with your images is will really help with CTR in Google Daniel. Definitely a good practice.
