Hi Craig. I swear that this could be converted into about 4 posts. Google Authoriship is awesome!
Wow Craig, this is awesome information. Having just woken up and only on my first cup of coffee some of what you're saying just went over my head, but I've book marked your post for further reading. Thank you for sharing this great info! Suggested.
Hi Craig. Great post as usual. I copied and pasted about 10 blog post and ALL of them failed the Google Authorship test.
Craig-thanks for the Google+ tutorial, your markup makes it extremely easy to follow.
Yes Craig ~ Ditto the above comments. I have to go check to see if my Google + links to my blog! So many important little tips to help us show in in the Google search results! Thank you.
Craig - more good stuff! You keep teaching us all what we need to be on top of and I so appreciate you!

Good Morning Craig! Afer reading your blog I do need to make some changes to my google+ account. As always thanks again for sharing your knowledge.
Hi Craig.
I have been using GOOGLE PLUS for some tiem. The results are pretty good. This is worth the effort to add your face to the post.
Have a great day my friend.
Best, Clint Mckie
Hi Craig - A very well written tutorial. Many people do not yet use this valuable feature of Google.
I like how these instructions Craig add your photo to the search. Much more personable and memorable to have the topic with a face.
Hi Craig - Thanks for a great step-by-step explanation - having your picture on Google results pages will make a big difference in how many people choose your result to click on.
Dorie - nice to see you - thanks for the suggested click
Beth - I know it is a lot to go through but the end result is worth the time
Melissa - I know... but I would have left everyone hanging with a stay tuned next week for part 2! Had to go through to the finish. glad to see you
Suesan - catch you on the next cup of coffee LOL
Charita - I'll be checking out your pages for clues - catch you on another thread to discuss
Adrian - I love to illustrate the points
Terrie - glad to hear you are going through the checklist items!
Anna - thanks for the appreciation and the group feature!
Ritu - you are very welcome - glad to hear I got to help out
Clint - I agree! It is very much worth the effort required. Guess what? Many don't want to go the extra mile helps make yours actually stand out better!
Marc - thanks for visiting - we get the advantage over those who don't!
Gary - makes ours pop out!
Dick - I think Janis' example on the image I captured really highlights that - thanks for visiting!
Hi, Craig...I really appreciate you sharing this information. I have some changes to make to my google+ account. Have a great day.
ActiveRainers need to make sure to pay attention to all this Authorship Craig... Great post and thanks for including me! =)
Hi Craig, I must say that this is fabulous advice and I am sending this over to my web designer so we can incorporate your suggestions. Janis has done a great job, probably under your tutelage and I am so impressed with how savvy she is. SUGGESTED!
WOW Craig, what a wealth of information you have provided on the importance of Google's Authorship. As Donna says above I too saw it over on Google+. If anyone has been thinking they'll get to this sooner or later, they'd be really wise to do it now as it does make a difference to have yourself stand out from the pack. You put a lot of time into this, well done.
Craig - great information - somehow, I have already done this and have the information set up in my Google+ account...now I just need to track it more effectively
Craig, you are always the best and I don't know how i missed it yesterday since I was trying to guide Dagny in just this same issue...i will send this to her now!!
Good Morning Craig, as always, great tutorial!! Having Google+ Authorship is a MUST for all. Suggested!
Thanks for the posting, Craig. This is valuable information!! Seems that our efforts keep being directed to what google keeps changing. Information like this helps us stay in front of what is necessary for search presence!
Craig, you always have such useful and helpful information, thanks for sharing, Bookmarked.
Long time no see - hope all is great in your world Craig. I think I've done this - hope so anyway. :)
This is a briliant tutorial, for an important issue. I'm bookmarking to come back and review it... (I love your creative arrows).
Debbie - I'm glad I could help you refresh your settings to the latest
Janis - congrats on page 1 also of the keyword search I used - your authorship pops out your info quite nicely - well done!
Joanna - thanks for checking in - I hope your updates go just as well on your site
Walters - check off a step at a time and you'll get it! :)
Donna - thanks to Debbie for the reblog - thanks also for your button click :)
Lynn - yes I agree! We on AR tend to be ahead of the pack and this is just one other way to stand out! thanks for visiting
Wallace - it is good to cross check and double check every once in a while! good to see you
Ginny - Dagny and I traded emails on the topic. I think we got it worked out for her! thanks for the visit today
Beth - thanks so much for the kind words and for the button click!
Dan - the AR community is sure on top of things - I just wanted to play a small part in clarifying some of the points needed to watch for. thanks
David - thanks for the bookmark! see you on the return trip
Debb - glad to see you too, our paths haven't crossed as often lately. I guess we've all been so busy! are you ready for spring?? :) I checked out your page and you are good to go on the regular AR blog, but your outside blog could benefit from authorship also if you put your google+ link as I talk about in your signature footer so your outside blog will get the necessary reciprical link for google authorship
Alan - thank you sir, very glad to hear you enjoyed - see you on the bookmark return! :)
What an astonishingly detailed and informative post! Wow. My to-do list on AR keeps getting longer and longer... Probably won't have time for site improvements until next week; things are getting busy!
Craig, this is really great information and something that I need to come back and review.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, as always for your clear & detailed instructions & information!
Craig~ Thanks for the step by step! I keep saying I am going to give Google plus another go, I just find it complicated...or maybe is because my brain is SO cluttered!! LOL
Tom - I'm glad you liked - glad to hear you are busy, that's the goal!
Kathy - take it part by part as you have time, soon all the pieces will be there
Christine - happy to see you visit, you are very welcome
Melissa - give it another chance, you'll get it! :)
Neat when the video player shows up and the surfer can not resist toggling it. Watch, listen instead of read read read works better in todays fast paced information swapping.
Wow...i learned about this at KW Family Reunion but hadn't yet incorporated it ....I will now! thanks so much!
Wow! How wonderful to learn about this. All great information to get the most out of the internet. Thank you!
Great information! Thanks for helping me to make sure I'm okay on authoriship!
Craig - this is so valuable to many of us! Thanks for sharing all your expertise with us and help us come up on Page#1 of Google - just Thanks is, I think, not enough!
I'm glad this was finally featured. BTW, I linked to ths in a post I did yesterday. I wrote about how a customer called this week and he clicked on me specifically because of the picture. He had the search still on his screen. I was #5 but he said he went straight to the picture. I have an appt set for next week and he seems really nice.
Craig, great information! Thanks for the tutorial. Bookmarked to come back later and implement.
Craig, I did this the first time you put out the info and now I get my smiling face showing up for both my AR posts and my own website posts. Very cool

Craig- once again you've shown us what a great asset you are to us here at ActiveRain. I've just gone to my Google+ site but I can see I need to do more. Thank you so much.
Craig - it is so important for me, and I am falling aslkeep as I read, but I will come back tomorow and go through it. Great stuff, thank you so much
I think I have this somewhat together but not completely. I've already ready it through 3x. I'm sure I'll have to read again 3 more. It's not very hard but it's not easy either.
Craig, you give and give and give so many helpful Blog SEO Tips. Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!
Bill
Craig Thanks for the instructions and your time to do this for us. Your ability to give clear and easy to follow instructions ROCKS. Your check's in the mail.
Craig,
This is so helpful and such detail to provide to your Active Rain peeps! I just attended a seminar on search engine optimization and some of the many things you can do - but this was not provided. Perhaps it's one of the things that they would do for a fee. It's definitely worthwhile to wade in there and give it a go!
Thanks again for all the technical tips!
Craig, thank you very much for the information, I will work on this today
OK - I had dome part of this, but tweaked it a little with the help of your instructions. THANKS!!
Frankly I'm growing more dubious about Google everyday. I've been hearing a lot of things about their privacy policies that arouse concern. The link below is just one of many examples of what I'm concerned about. Any thoughts, opinions, suggestions?

Hi Craig, excellent post. We have seen a definitely improvement since we did this!
Hello Craig: Lot's of great information. Sometimes I feel like real estate is a distant second career to technology.
Craig, Thank you for so excellent information very explanatory. I bookmarked for late! Great Blog post!!
Craig~I am working on this step by step..thank you! Just when I think I have it done then it doesn't show the picture UGH! I am trying to get the hang of Plus, thank you for the encouragement, I will let you know how it goes!
Craig -- thanks so much for this terrificly helpful post! I have some work to do :-)
great tips ... I am going to print this article and start working on these suggestions
Craig, I linked my blog URL, activerain.com/blog/larryhodel, on Google + and then added the authorship info to the signature of my activerain blog. None of my blogs tested for authorship. Any suggestions???
Craig, after 2 1/2 hours I finally got it. Once I added my Google + URL to my activerain profile, it all worked.
Craig - it must just be me but EEEEEEEEEEEEKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK! I am pretty good with this kind of stuff but I can't follow at all! Janis said you are a wizard - I'll try this step by step again but may need to give you a call :-/
Wow wonderful. I did it. Now that I have slowed down I have time to catch up on all your great training. Thanks Julie
great blog that is very useful..I went through this process some time ago and I am very glad that I did!!!
Craig, great post. I think AR just did a webinar on this, but yours is much easier to follow!
Running right over to check this out...and make our portrait STANDS out,,...as always great advice !
Hi Craig.. missed this one ... good to let people know how to use this. SUPER important.
So glad I reviewed my stuff I thought I had it set up correctly, turns out I did not.
Thank you so much for this blog post! I did everything and the testing tool and everything looks great and authorship is good to go. However, when I google my blog post, it does not show up with my picture. It does on the testing tool preview, though. Any thoughts?
Thank you!
Leonard - since you just made the updates, it may take the google servers a little while to update their settings for you. Good job on the update steps
Craig - Absolutely fantastic post with so much attention to detail. I am definitely going to have to read this one again and follow along step by step. Thank you for providing this very useful information!
Good morning Craig,
You are a wealth of information..love the post..suggested for sure!
