Google link situation

    Goal: To produce a Google rich snippet with author photo. (I know there’s no guarantee of this success, so you don’t have to warn me.)

    How: I used this plugin and entered my Google+ information in the appropriate field. I also included a link in the author field…

    Problem: Obviously, that Google+ link is going to show up with any author on my company’s blog. (So, I have to take it out.)

    Concern: If I take it out, will this prevent Google from seeing my Google+ profile information (the link). If so, is there a way to code inside of the author window so that it pulls the Google+ page associated with that particular author?

    Here’s an example of the first authored blog post: http://www.sbmac.com/asset-manager/digital-marketing-auctions-email/

    Well, I already did this. According to the Google Structured Data Testing tool, it works. But I did make my Google+ profile as my website.

    What I meant to say is that it seems to be working, but the photo hasn’t actually appeared yet in a search.

    So, next question: Is it a good idea to use author pages? If so, what’s a plugin that works with Post Author?
