Show Author Profile Picture In Google Search Results

Google is making a lot of improvements and introducing latest features in their whole system for the development. Some months ago, the latest feature was introduced specially for webmasters and bloggers and that is Google Authorship Markup. It is a kind of certificate or license which helps webmasters and bloggers to produce content is a better way. If you've verified your Google Authorship then whenever you'll search for any keyword and if your webpage appears in the search results then it will be having a profile picture or it will appear like thumbnails. Most of webmasters are willing to get their verified Google authorship to show the author image and today here I'll be guiding them on how can we verify Google authorship and show author image in search results.

In order to display author profile picture in Google search, you may setup profile picture for Google+ and you can use photoshop online free to edit or customize your picture.

Display Author Profile Picture In Google Search

In order to show the profile picture in Google search results, you will need a Google+ account. Because, you've to connect the Google+ account with your Blogger account. It actually shows the Google+ profile, that's why It is required. There are two main methods to to get the Google authorship verified. The first one is verifying with domain email and second is one by manually inserting the rel='author' attribute to the Google+ profile links. And second method needs to link the profile with your site manually. We're going to discuss these both methods below.

Method#1 : Verifying The Domain Email

Verifying the Google authorship with domain web email is not difficult. But it is the most easiest way. And here you will just need to have an email address created in your domain hosting panel or control panel. If you've bought the hosting of your domain then you can easily create that email or you might have already created. It will look likeyourname@yourdomain.com or simply my email address Master@techbloggermaster.com. You can also contact your hosting provider or 24x7 to create that kind of email if you've hosting. Let's come to start the tutorial.

• First of all, Sign in to your Google+ account.
• Secondly, Go to Google authorship markup.
• There in the right side, you will see an input box in the last for domain email address. Simply fill the email address which you've but remember it must be created in your domain hosting like  Master@techbloggermaster.com.

• After entering the email address, easily click on "Sign Up For Authorship" button at the bottom.
• Now you will receive an email address for confirmation that email. It will be having a link which you've to click.
• Open the inbox of that email and click on the confirmation link.
• A message will appear that you've verified the email address.
• That's All for verifying Google authorship with email address.

Method#2 : Manually Verifying Google Authorship With rel='author'

This is another manual method specially for those who don't have the hosting for domain and still want to get verified Google authorship. This might be difficult for you but I don't think you will face any problem in doing this method if you follow this tutorial carefully. In this method, we'll make use of rel='author' attribute which help us and Google to verify the authorship. In this method you need an About Us page created in your blog and Google+ profile is also required as it is already needed while verifying Google authorship. So, let's begin the tutorial.

Step#1 : Adding Google+ Badge Widgets In Sidebar

The first thing is that I recommend to add the Google+ badges or widgets in your blog anywhere you want. But I think sidebar is the best idea. This will help you to get linked your profile and Google+ page with your site that will also help to Google in understanding that this is your own site. There is not any long process to add these widgets in your blog but previously, I'd shared a tutorial on how can we these kind badges in our blogger blogs. Just land on the tutorial given in the last upcoming sentence and follow the tutorial. I recommend to add the two widgets which are your Google+ profile and Google+ page if you have. Same as I've added in the sidebar, look at the sidebar and here is the tutorial.

Step#2 : Using rel='author' Attribute In About Us Page

• Go to pages in Blogger and edit the About Us page.
• Enter into the HTML Tab and add the following link code anywhere where you want to add.
• Replace Google+ ID with the ID of your Google+ profile. [You will see the long ID number in the URL of your profile]
• Replace Your Name With Your Name.
• Don't touch or remove the rel='author' otherwise the tutorial won't work. 
• Publish or Update the About Us page.

Note : After adding the rel='author' link in your about us page, if you've more links in your blog going to your Google+ profile then I recommend to add rel='author' to all them. I'm not saying to add other links on any other place but If your google+ profile link is already added before the tutorial then you should add rel='author' to the link. Mostly, people have used social widgets in which Google+ profile link might be available. So if also have any kind of widget then add rel='author' to that link in that widget for the quick verification.

Step#3 : Adding your blog link in Google+ profile

By continuing the tutorial, this is last part of the tutorial in which we'll insert your blog link in your profile. And this will make sure to the Google that you're the actual owner. I won't waste your time and I'm not going into deep. Here is the tutorial.

• Login to your account.
• Go to the About page.
• Scroll down and Links section will appear.
• Click Edit button and a popup will appear. Simply, Add the link there.

• After placing the link there. Save your profile and you've done!

Checking How The Profile Picture Will Appear In SERPs

This is the additional or advanced part of the post and in this part, we'll check that how the profile picture will appear in Google search results. By default, it will take about a week to completely display the picture in SERPs but there is a tool given by Google and by use of this, we can check that the authorship is verified correctly or not. So, let's check it.

• Go to Structured Data Testing Tool
• Enter the URL of your blog and click "Preview".
• It might take some seconds to check and load the results.

Note : After completing the process, you've to wait at least a week to let the Google get verified your authorship and they may update the pages of you in SERPs. Sometimes, they take more than a month. So, please keep calm and wait for being completed the whole process.

Final Words

People mostly asked me through contact form and on social profiles that how do we show the image in search results. I'm sorry for being late to publish this tutorial. I hope this tutorial is surely going to help those who contact me and also for those who want to get authorship. If you've any problem regarding this guide then feel free to ask in comments. Also share your views on this guide and share this tutorial with your friends. Take Care!

Earn Money with Probux ....

Part 1: Getting Started

If you have not already signed up for Probux, click on any of the Probux banners within the guide or sign up here.

What is Probux?

Probux is a PTC (Paid To Click) service where members earn a small amount of money for viewing ads. It is 100% legitimate and Probux is possibly one of the most promising PTC sites. Advertisers on Probux are fully aware that members are being paid to view the ads, so it is a fair system to all.

How do I earn money with Probux?

There are three basic streams of income from Probux:

Income from your personal actions on the site (viewing ads, doing mini-jobs, etc)
Commissions paid to you from RRs (Rented Referrals) - explained later in Part 3.
Commissions paid to you from DRs (Direct Referrals) - explained later in Part 4.

How much money can I make?

If you are willing to put a small amount of time each day, and you follow this guide, you should be able to make well over $1,000 per month spending less than 10 minutes each day. Some users make several thousand dollars per month with the same time commitment. It will not happen overnight, but with some diligence, this is certainly an achievable goal already reached by many of the Probux veterans.

How do I get started?

If you have not already signed up for Probux, click on any of the Probux banners within the guide or sign up here.

Something to think about... if you have 200 DRs but they are uneducated about Probux and quit, you won't make money from them! My goal is to help you acquire ACTIVE Probux referrals so that you make more money. Typically, educated referrals are active referrals!

After you have signed up, continue to Part 2.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Part 2: The First Two Weeks (1 Goal to complete)

In my opinion, the first two weeks are "make it or break it" with Probux users. Sadly, a lack of education will cause many to leave, but you are in the right place to avoid missing out on this great opportunity.

Getting into the daily routine of viewing the ads assigned to you
Earning your first $0.60 so you can begin the referral rental process

TIP: View ads by logging in and clicking the "View Advertisements" button at the top of your page.

You are not going to earn much during the first two weeks, that's a fact Jack.
15 days * approx. $0.04 / day = $0.60 ... Trivial as it may seem, $0.60 is your 1st goal.

Goal #1 - Earn $0.60
TIP: If you are able to complete mini jobs, you can reach Goal #1 within a day or two!

If you are interested in a small jump start and have even just a few dollars to invest into your new Probux business, there are instructions in Part #3.

Part 3: Renting Your First Referrals (3 Goals to complete)

Congratulations, you just graduated from Kindergarten! It's a big deal to make it through the first 15 days. A lot of people quit before this point... and guess what, this is where the fun begins! You're gonna do just fine!

Once you have at least $0.60 in your Probux account, you have enough to rent 3 referrals. As mentioned above, you can "jump start" your business by investing a few dollars of your own and begin renting Probux referrals sooner.

Before you do, read this:
Goal #2 - Rent 3 referrals by clicking the "Referrals" button on your account home page.
Goal #3 - Turn on "AutoPay" within the Referrals->Rented menu.

I prefer Autopay = Enabled because each day your referrals are active, they pay for themselves to be extended. This way, you do not need to worry about how much money to reserve for re-rental. Autopay is a must!

TIP: There is a discount applied when using Autopay as well, yet another good reason to use it!

Assuming your 3 rented referrals stay active, you will earn the following:
3 RR * 4 RR-clicks at $0.005 each = $0.06 / day
Clicking ads assigned to you, still approx $0.04 / day
For a total of $0.10 / day.

Within one more week you can rent 3 more referrals, and be earning $0.16 / day
The following week you will have enough to rent 5 more referrals (now you will have 11 RRs) for a total of $0.26 / day.
The week after that, you will have enough to rent 10 more referrals (now you will have 21 RRs) for a total of $0.46 / day.
At the end of the 4th week from when you rented your first RRs, you will have enough to rent 19 more referrals (now you will have 40 RRs) for a total of $0.84 / day.
And so on...
Continue viewing your assigned advertisements each day so that you can earn your rented referral income, and when you save up enough money to rent more referrals, get them! The more rented referrals you have, the more you will make. I recommend choosing a day of the week for rentals, and on that day rent as many as the funds in your Probux account can afford.

Goal #4 - Continue until acquire 200 rented referrals
Yes, It will take some time, but remember, you are building a business and passive income with just a small time commitment each day! It goes pretty fast since renting referrals increases your income, and increased income allows you to rent more referrals. Can you say "snowball effect?"

TIP: 200 RRs * 4 RR-clicks at $0.005 per click = $4/day ... It will take about three weeks to save up $80 for Part 5 .

Once you have 200 referrals, stop renting and save up $80 in your Probux account. I will explain this more in Part 5.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Part 5: "Go for Gold!" (2 Goals to complete)

Now that you have 200 referrals, stop renting and save up $80 so that you can upgrade to Golden. Once you go Gold, you will double up your income nearly instantly since the payouts are 2x - 10x for your clicks and referral clicks!

Goal #6 - Upgrade your account to Gold

Here is your income before Golden:
200 RRs * 4 RR-clicks at $0.005 per click = $4.00 per day (plus DR-clicks and your personal clicks)

Here is your income after you go Golden:
200 RRs * 4 RR-clicks at $0.01 per click = $8.00 per day (plus DR-clicks and your personal clicks)

Once you've gone golden, begin renting referrals again. It's tempting to cash out, but you really want to get to the maximum number of RRs and DRs so that you earn as much as possible.

Goal #7 - Build your RRs to 2000.
Resume your rental process and acquire 2,000 RRs. This will not take too terribly long since by now you should be earning over $200 per month.

2000 RRs * 4 RR-clicks at $0.01 per RR-click = $80/DAY (plus your DR-clicks and your personal clicks!).

TIP: When you go Golden, you will have to view 9 ads per day instead of 4!
TIP: Check out some of the "Golden Packs" to gain more benefits from being Golden.

At this point you are a true Golden Child of Probux! Once you have saved enough to buy golden packs, do it so you can rent more RRs and gain more benefits. By now, you will already be laughing all the way to the bank so enjoy your new side job!
