Now that Google has removed authorship from search results what are the impacts on SEO? This article by Danny Sullivan on Search Engine Land explains the difference between authorship and author rank.
Here is a quick summary:
- Authorship was the inclusion of author photos, names and Google+ details in Google search results
- Author Rank is the potential boosting of ranking for stories by trustworthy authors
- Google is likely to be looking at bylines (e.g. “Post by Benjamin Mangold”) moving forward to determine author rank
- You might want to continue to use authorship markup (e.g. rel=”Author”) to tell Google about the authors of your blog posts
