Google fooled? Place your photo along other people search!


Probably, you have heard of Google Authorship, it offers you the opportunity to have your photo (ie, the photo of the author) to exhibit alongside the search results.

The idea is simple: We want the author of a particular article or piece of content credits through their Google+ profile picture to show (and a link to the Google+ page).

However, it is currently still very easy to get your pictures along to get results that are not yours ...

Higher Level offers possible Authorship?

What can we do to "learn"?

To this "error" to take advantage of Google, you would do two things:

Making sure your content as much as possible by you is transferred to your Google+ profile link (for example, in the signature of a forum such as Higher Level);
From your Google+ profile link to websites where your content is.

Now, the first point is what Google also hopes, so in that respect it is still questionable whether this is truly an "error" and if it does so unconsciously made​​.
Websites like Higher Level in this case, of course, still a challenge. Are we going to ban Google+ profiles, let alone the Google+ profile of the thread starter accept, we go our own Google+ profile push by the header?
In short, authorship is still at an early stage ...

Authorship still at an early stage ...

Makes for me once a few sore points of authorship uncovered. Because first heard Danny's picture in this case is not at home at this result.

Another point of discussion for me is the kind of content that will be applicable Authorship. In blog-posts I find it logical. But with such a contact page on a website?
