Authorship Not Displaying
-
I've been reading through a ton of articles on Google Authorship on Moz as well as a variety of other sites but still haven't solved my issue.
I set up authorship a while ago and it stopped working after a very short time. It came back and again stopped working. I use Yoast for the tags.
I realize that Google drastically decreased showing authorship photos in SERP but I've never been about to get it to show no matter what I've tried aside from that brief moment of success when I originally implemented the tags.
Rich snippet tools shows all as being a ok!
Any suggestions what I might be doing wrong?

Hi there,
The authorship is based on the personal page not the business one. I suggest you get some followers (or groups) on your personal page and use that a bit. Business page is more of a rel=publisher tag.

Hi Chris/Dennis!
Thanks for the reply! I have 2796 followers on my g+ website page....I typically post my latest posts on that page. However, I'm not terribly active on my personal g+ page.
Just regular personal posting on my personal g+ page will help?
Thanks!

Would agree With Dennis,
Make sure its working alright with the testing tool other than than that there is not much you can do. Make sure you are active on Google plus with a following and you may get it back but the authorship was decreased as you noted.
Good luck.

Hi!
Are you active on google+?
If you are, with a good following, you should get your image back.
They will email you that you are now showing up as an author or something like that.
Although this doesn't apply to everyone, this has been what has worked for me.

Google displays multiple titles for same article. What does this mean?
I've linked to some screenshots so that it what I'm talking about makes more sense. Sometimes, when I perform a search, I see an article with the correct article title listed as the page title in the SERPs. Other times, I see the wrong page title – it's a generic somethin' or other done by my client's web design company with a bunch of keywords thrown in. The latter (not the correct article title) also appears at the top of the browser tab for every article on my client's site. I know this is bad, but what can be done about it? This would never happen if my client used Wordpress or some easily modifiable CMS, but they're using a proprietary one maintained by the group that designed the website. open?id=0BxB_dYL1ylGgVVF1dHlwdXp2dFU open?id=0BxB_dYL1ylGgdWJjdlJoRlRIR00

G+ and Authorship & Publisher
Hi Ive got one client for whom i have connected their G+ personal page to their site via the email process of setting up authorship. I also set up their company page on G+ and want to link it to the site too but its saying site is already verified/linked. I know i havn't added any rel=pub code to the site so dont know how this can be unless of course its using the already established author details (since admin for the co page) to make the company page connection. Is it the case that you now don't need to add the rel=pub code to establish publisher/verify link with your website ? Similarly to no longer needing to add rel=auth to site to establish authorship (since that can now be established via email) ? Any clarity here appreciated ? Cheers Dan

How to display the full structure of website on Google serps
I have been searching around but unable to gather information as to how we can control or list top pages of a website on Google's first page , i.e. if we type seomoz in google , we can see the main listing with 6 subdomain listings , which link to Blog , Seo tool , Beginner Seo guide , Learn Seo , Pricing & Plans and login My question is can we control these listings i.e. what to display and what not , and if yes how can we make this type of visibility on first page , by using html or xml sitemaps or theirs something mostly websites are missing. Cause this type of data is coming up for very less websites and mostly websites are with single urls. c43Ki.jpg

Advice on display this content on my page for search engines
Hi, my website http://www.in2town.co.uk/Holiday-News is about bringing travel and holiday news to our readers of our lifestyle magazine but i am having problems at the moment with the layout. What i mean by this is, i have written content on the page as an introduction so google knows what this section of the site is about but to be honest it looks rubbish with having the introduction there and i would like to know if i am doing the right thing by having the content there for google to know what my site is about. I have tried taking it away and noticed i dropped in the rankings and when i have put it back up i go up in the rankings, can anyone please give me some advice over this issue
