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 authorship syntax, plus no follow
I have seen two forms of rel=author syntax. Are they both valid? (1) (2) Second, does 'no follow' take away authorship? Is there any point in doing rel=author for a link that is rel=no follow? Like this:

I cannot find a way to implement to the 2 Link method as shown in this post: http://searchengineland.com/the-definitive-guide-to-google-authorship-markup-123218
Did Google stop offering the 2 link method of verification for Authorship? See this post below: http://searchengineland.com/the-definitive-guide-to-google-authorship-markup-123218 And see this: http://www.seomoz.org/blog/using-passive-link-building-to-build-links-with-no-budget In both articles the authors talk about how to set up Authorship snippets for posts on blogs where they have no bio page and no email verification just by linking directly from the content to their Google+ profile and then by linking the from the the Google+ profile page (in the Contributor to section) to the blog home page. But this does not work no matter how many ways I trie it. Did Google stop offering this method?
