Google Authorship Eleven40

[faisal]

I am trying to setup Google Authorship for my site but to no avail. I am using the method described here.

Claim Google Authorship for Your WordPress Website in 3 Easy Steps

I am using structured data test tool but it always return " authroship is not working for this webpage"

I am not adding any codes whatsoever or using any plugin. I am just following the 3 steps as mentioned in the article.

Please tell me what I am doing wrong here.

Shall I wait for a couple of days and retest using structure data testing tool ? or it gives results instantly

thanks,

Faisal

That's an older blog post by Brian. Since that time they have added some features in the Framework itself that should assist you. Here are just a few tips

1) First, it looks like you are using version 1.9.2 of the Framework. You should update that.
2) Go to Your User Profile - scroll down to Google+ - have you added the URL to your personal Google+ Account in that field? If not, do so and Save it.
3) Also, you are using the Yoast SEO plugin. Go to the SEO tab on the left - click on Social. Click the Google+ tab. Have you entered the URL of your Google+ "Business" page/profile? If not, do so and Save it.

Fill in the other Social accounts too if you have them.

Now on the Google+ profile and page - have you added the URL to your Author page on your website? If not, add that there and save it. Add to both the Google+ personal profile and the business page.

That should be a start for you.

hi,

thanks

1, I have updated to latest Genesis
2. I had already Google plus account in the following format

https://plus.google.com/u/0/104258987767005626071/posts

3 I am not using Yoast SEO plug in. ( only using Google Analytics Plugin)

4 I have added my website to both personal and google plus page.

Still the message I get is that authorship is not working for this webpage.

I misread your code - it is the Yoast Analytics. Go to Genesis > SEO Settings. Do you have your business Google+ URL entered there? Also, just to make sure I understand you - Go to Users > Your Profile, scroll down to Google+ - is your URL in there for your personal Google+ account?

THANKS,

Yes I have entered Google+ profile of personal in the Users ..profile and just now entered business google page in Genesis - SEO settings.

My business vanity Google plus profile is

However the situation remains same.

Look at this screenshot - http://awesomescreenshot.com/04738vogaf - see my note. Add the URL to your About Me page to both of those areas.

Look at this screenshot - http://awesomescreenshot.com/09738vpq56 - You need to add this also to the same place as the above areas on your Google+ (under Contributors and Website) - http://www.telecomlighthouse.com/author/faisal-khan/ - It cannot find that page.

Are you using this tool to test it? http://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/richsnippets.
