It’s a bit late on a Sunday after another busy week, so I’m going to keep this quick with something I found particularly exciting about blogging this week – my authorship snippet has started to show up in Google!
Whether you like Google or not, I still think it’s great to see my name and face next to my review. It adds an extra level of accountability for bloggers, too, I think.
I noticed that particular review was referring me a ton of visits this month, so lo and behold I am the first review ranking and have that great little snippet there! It ties into my Google+ profile, which admittedly I barely use, but it’s nice to see my name next to my review and makes the result stand out. I suspect it’s resulting in the extra traffic, which is also nice. I hope I’ve inspired more than one purchase, as I love Bernard Cornwell.
If you’d like to do the same, there are instructions here and in many other places online.
I looked at the link you provided and it was way over my head. I’m excited that your review is #1 in the search!!
That is wonderful! It’s always great to see one of your own posts listed in the Search!
Ditto Bermudaonion. I’m not even sure what this is.
But I’m guessing for people that use blogger it’s not as big of an issue as for someone using WordPress, etc.?
