Is a Google + Anti-Spam Crackdown Coming?
"I don't think Google has really turned an
algorithmic anti-spam eye on Authorship
yet, but when they do....
I think the recent Authorship FAQ was a
first shot across the bow that the sheriff
will come before long."
– Mark Traphagen

1. Your Picture Needs Work
“Is that a selfie? Really?!”

@MediaWyse

A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words
Does yours Author picture convey
what you want it to convey?

Owl-lover?

+ Casey Markee
Authorship Picture BEST Practices:
•“Selfies” are EASY to screw up.
Avoid them.
•Props are okay…..but be
careful!
•Avoid alcohol, drugs OR
drinking.
•Take a quality picture. Watch
the cropping!
•Don’t use mature or offensive content.
•Google wants to see a FACE on the pictures. Or, it may not show.
@MediaWyse

Authorship Avatar BEST Practices:

@MediaWyse

+ Casey Markee
3. Don’t Spam your Profile!
“Seriously, I DO NOT want to buy your
book!”

@MediaWyse

+ Casey Markee
Don’t do this on your Profile!
No, I don’t want to buy your book!

@MediaWyse

+ Casey Markee
Don’t do this on your Profile!
Nor do I need any YouTube Views…

@MediaWyse

+ Casey Markee
Don’t do this on your Profile!
And I’m “good” on Instagram, thanks!

@MediaWyse

+ Casey Markee
4. Your Profile doesn’t Project “Trust”
“Pssst…..you lookin’ to buy some
content or links?”

@MediaWyse

+ Casey Markee
How “Trustworthy” is your Profile?
Not very…if you have this!
Excessive EMDs
Cross-Linked
on your Author
Profile.

@MediaWyse

+ Casey Markee
How “Trustworthy” is your Profile?
Bad Enough there is No Picture…
Need to “Buy Some
Links?”
This is the Profile
for you!

+ Casey Markee
How “Trustworthy” is your Profile?
Who DOESN’T Need Content these Days?

@MediaWyse

+ Casey Markee

like. How does yours
stack up?

Notas do Editor

  1. {"5":"Google is moving toward a consolidated web entity approach. They want to connect people, places and things in new and myriad ways. Authorship is a foundation of that approach. It’s a further evolution of Google Plus being the entire social spine of Google.\nSo where does the “Sheriff” come into play? For two big reasons.\n","22":"This specific site tried to “claim” authorship for all the sites. Google has since cracked down on them specifically. If you are an SEO trying to promote a similar strategy…don’t. Your clients deserve better.\n","11":"“Your Profile Picture cannot include mature or offensive content. For example, do not use a photo that is a close-up of a person’s buttocks or cleavage.”\nGoogle requires a CLEAR human face. Don’t use sunglasses, a cartoon avatar or stand too far away from the camera.\n","28":"This example is a colleague of mine. Great, great guy and good at what he does. But his profile doesn’t reflect ANY of his professional accomplishments, content or current work focuses. And yet, he joined Google Plus for those very reasons.\n","17":"This goes back to Google’s relentless drive to promote a GREAT user experience. Eric’s and Stone Temple’s recent Google Plus research shows that Google Plus content was indexed as fast as six minutes. Here are examples that would NOT be indexed at such a speed.\n","6":"If you don’t use Authorship correctly:\n","12":"As Ann will mention, drawings, cartoons or “animated” pictures can get pulled from search. Don’t use them!\n","1":"So…first off. What is Author Rank? It’s a general term for a scheme to rank know authors for authority by subjects.\nWhen will it be play? When Google is ready….most people believe soon though!\n","29":"Also lots and lots of hashtags.\n","7":"When Author Rank kicks in, those of you using Authorship who have already built up data will be ahead.
