Hello everyone. Hope you had a productive week and getting ready (if you are not already) to enjoy your weekend. This week has been fairly busy for me and I am almost sure that i have missed some important and interesting stuff out there. Aside from the “apparent” battle between G+ and FB, launching games and all that, one noteworthy news from the sphere is the consistent “push” of Google asking people writing web content to start using authorship markup. Google is looking to use this markup as a SEO ranking signal, so it might be interesting for you to take note of that. To make the use of this super easy, Google has provided an alternative and “non-complicated” way of using this, simply adding a hyperlink to your Google profile (see video below). This is particularly interesting if you do a lot of guest posting.

As usual, in no particular order:

Blogging/Business

SEO/Marketing

Social Web

Authorship markup using URL parameters

Is there a limit to how many 301 (Permanent) redirects I can do on a site?

That’s it. Enjoy and have a great week ahead.

  • Nice compilations of links and some of them are pretty useful to bloggers like me.

    • Thanks and all the best. Sorry for the late response

  • Watched the videos. The authorship markup using url parameters sounds easy, but after watching the video and checking the more details link it seems a little confusing. The 301 permanent redirects is a bit easier to follow and understand. I never tried multiple redirects chained together, but I do have a few 301’s I use. I think Matt Cutts does a pretty decent job with his video tutorials.

    • Hi Ray. Sorry for the late response. I hear you on the “authorship” part being somewhat confusing. Hence the reason why it prompted me to dig into it a bit further 🙂

      As for the chained 301s, come to think of it, it really does not make that much sense. Anyway, like you I have not done it before. Max is one redirect and that’s it. Anyway, I am thinking of something about 301s that might be a good way to help for SEO 🙂 Brainstorming on it yet 🙂

  • Loved the Copyblogger and Basicblogtips posts 🙂 Thanks for the nice compilation and the awesome Matt videos. Keep rocking 😉

    • You are welcome Jane. I also agree with your choices 😉 Have a great week ahead.. sorry for responding a tad late

  • Hi DiTesco, Thanks for sharing one of my posts in your speedlink! I appreciate that. 🙂

    I’m wondering when a nice WordPress plugin will solve all of this authorship stuff, how about you? This is especially confusing for me, since I have so many guest bloggers and I want to make sure they are getting proper credit, but I’m not sure this feature is intended to work that way. I’m referring to how at the end of the video, they mention that the Google Profile should link back to the source.

    I’m scratching my head right now. LOL!

    • Hi Ileane. I understand what you mean about scratching your head regarding the authorship markup. This is just the easier way but not as effective. There is a plugin that partially solves this problem and with a little tweak all works well. You can even get yourself verified by Google, sort of like a webmaster tools. So I guess that you just gave me another post idea 🙂 Will probably make a small tutorial about this.

  • The authorship markup is one of my favorite ever since its launched or addition to the google serp. Still, Haven’t implemented it though at my blog.

  • I’m pretty excited about this author markup thing… Once we have a WordPress plugin this will get easy greasy. I am contemplating the real SEO value of this markup though.

    • Hi John. Sorry for responding late. Anyway, if you have not seen it yet, I just published a tutorial about the authorship markup 😉

  • The whole Google gimmick about authorship is just for the fact that if you are with G+ you will get better SEO advantage, if you are with FB, the hits & traffic are there much not much of a SE advantage
