I set up my blogs and verified them on Friday, but  people who search for "semi homemade spaghetti sauce" still aren't treated to my smiling face next to the top listing.

I am personally more likely to click on a link with a face beside it but that's just me.

I haven't signed up yet. I have a hard enough time staying up to date with FB and Twitter.

Seems I'm still on my own for pushing my posts to G+

Thanks!

P.S. - I added you to my PF blogger circle as well.

So if you search for something and a page of result came up and there is only one picture on the 4th link or something. It's more eye catching. 

Try searching for "retire 40". There is only one picture on the whole result page. 

I think it helps a bit...

Maybe Eric's right. I'm super new to Google+, so I'm not sure about all the benefits of having an authorship linked to your articles.

Nisall on Google+ New Authorship Feature https://yakezie.com/forums/bloggers-lair/google-new-authorship-feature/#p86506 Bloggers Lair https://yakezie.com/forums/bloggers-lair/google-new-authorship-feature/#p86506 I just got the email from Google informing me that my authorship has been activated.  I'm not sure how it will improve visibility, seeing as how all it does is link your google+ profile to anything published and attributed to you.  Essentially what it does is put your image and link to G+ profile with the search results that are credited to you, so unless you have pretty high-ranking posts to begin with, it probably won't be that beneficial so far as I can tell.

Google never released the write portion of their G+ API, which made it very difficult to automatically publish posts on Google+. Now I can see why, because they wanted to control how it was done.

 

I added you to my PF Bloggers circle.

I just signed up for Google+ but, I'm lonely and need some friends. So, if your new like me and need to increase your visibility or wouldn't mind including me in your circle let me know and I'll add you.

 

Thanks,

Jackie
