Comment on How to Connect Content to Google+ Accounts for Authorship by Craig Charley

Hi Karen,

It would be great to add an author bio link to our posts! Would you be able to either link to the Silicon Beach G+ page (https://plus.google.com/u/0/114526858225941972230/) or Aaron Charlie (https://plus.google.com/u/0/100237524923111850300/). Either is fine. Still not sure if Google recognises business pages as authors (trying to get proof but failing) so Aaron would probably be best.

Thanks for sharing the post!

. I’m glad that I’m using most of them already. The trouble is to actually utilize them completely.

Hi Craig
I just notified one of my regular contributing authors who has full author profile on my site and we are working together to make sure he gets his author bio connected up with google plus properly. I’ll be adding his Google to his bio as you mentioned.

So when I send the post out to google plus and when he does too the post will properly attributed to him.
(I had emailed him about this post of yours and he said that it’s really coooooool! :-))

RE your own author bio… I have a couple of posts on my site that you sent to me via MBG with your author bio at the bottom of the post. It might be better that we give you a proper author bio to link to google plus then?

Well the eventual aim I think is to match Google+ author info to every post attributed to an author. So no matter where you wrote something Google would recognise that you wrote it. At the moment they are relying on people linking their account to their posts and using images etc. but they have hinted that they will eventually match everything.

Interestingly, we recently received a notification that somebody had posted one of our guest articles on Google+. They had not mentioned us in their post but the article they linked to had the byline ‘Written by Silicon Beach Training’ which linked to our G+ page. Google has recognised that our G+ page wrote the article and so notified us somebody was talking about it! Pretty cool if you ask me.

This could go a long way towards stopping content scraping and duplicate content. Google will prefer articles with authors to those without.

That is amazing. I can see it helpful for authors who blog regularly on sites as “logged in contributing author” with a proper author bio but the way I read this is those who send the guest posts via email or other means and add the author bio at the bottom of the post, then this linking to google plus wouldn’t really work would it?
