As I mentioned in our recent post, 5 Practical SEO Tips to Increase Traffic, it is imperative for your business to start search engine optimization (SEO) on a firm foundation.

May 17, 2013 No Comments
Written by: Alvin Brown

Today’s post is about search engine optimization’s new future: Google Authorship.

If you have heard or read about this new search engine ranking vehicle, read up.

You actually register your words through Google Authorship, so that nobody else would be able to steal and publish your work as their own.

You have to set up your Authorship profile using your optimized Google+ account and when your website appears in the search results, it displays your photo next to search result as shown below.
