Should I indicate authorship after removing a photo from the search results page? The photo in the search results is not the main benefit of attribution. Consider the following words from Google Distinguished Engineer Matt Cutts: We look for authoritative authors in a particular niche, such as medicine or tourism. We try to rank their publications slightly above anonymous materials. This helps Google users find higher-quality materials.


Yes, Google Authorship works even after you remove your photo from the japan email list search results. Authorship links posts on your site to authoritative authors. It gives you a rich snippet, even if it doesn't include a visually appealing photo. The Future of Authorship Many experts believe that Google will sooner or later increase the role of Author Rank when ranking sites in search results. In this case, resources that cooperate with authoritative authors will win.


Perhaps the search engine will one day learn to determine authorship without additional markup. In this case, the question of using Authorship will be removed. Removing author photos from search results makes links to your site less attractive. Probably, clickability of snippets without photos decreases. However, the main advantages of Google Authorship remain. Use this tool, it works.
