Google Authorship Feature - Display Your Avatar In Google Search Beside Blog Articles

Google Authorship is a feature for displaying author information in search results.

This feature is being rolled out gradually and will be implemented algorithmically, so author information will not always display in search results.

If you have a blog, how do you display your photo/profile picture in the search results?

Follow these steps:

Step 1: Create an “About Me” page on your blog and link the about page to your Google Profile page.

While creating the hyperlink to your Google Profile page, do remember to add rel="me" to the link as shown below:

 [url=https://profiles.google.com/your_ID]My Profile[/url]

Step 2: Ensure that all the blog stories that you have written include a link to your “About Me” page. This hyperlink should have the rel="author" attribute as shown below:

[url=https://yourwebsite.com/about/]My short bio[/url]

Step 3: Sign in to your #-Link-Snipped-# account and under links, add a new custom link that points to your “About Me” page.

Tick the option that says “This page is specifically about me” and save the changes.

That's it.
