Author rank is not a ranking factor right now
Based on the 5.6% of the web that has implemented rel-author it’s not likely to believe that Google is leaning heavily on
authorship as a signal.
Only 221,987,485 out of
4,000,000,000 urls have
rel-author.
As with many features and products Google has
rolled out over the years adoption is the main
barrier to usage.

PERSONa – GETAWAY gabby
GETAWAY gabby is a mother of two who is dire need of a little rest & relaxation. While
she wants to take a vacation in the Caribbean, she is looking a resort that is family friendly.
She doesn’t want vacation to be ruined by her kids who are easily bored.
While Gabby does have an ideal destination in mind, she has little knowledge regarding
pricing. So she has started doing some research on Google & Bing along with a few travel
blog websites to get a better idea of what is on the market.
ENGAGEMENT INSIGHT
Getaway Gina is somewhat receptive to online advertising however, dynamic info-graphics pertaining to
family getaways, posted on travel blog websites, would be the best way to interact with this persona.
KEY TRAITS
B u s y s o c i a l l i v e s
Risk-adverse investors
Cultured sensibilities
Pragmatic shoppers
I n v o l v e d c i t i z e n s
Digital Behavior
Contrary to the reputation of older Americans being unappreciative of new media, the
people that fall into this persona are enthusiastic internet users. They go online for
information, entertainment, blogging, news and making travel arrangements .Their favorite
websites include travelocity.com, ameritrade.com, singlesnet.com, legacy.com and
hgtv.com.
Our in-depth and brand-relevant personas allow us to gain insight into the people behind the keywords and
understand their behaviors and what needs they are looking to fulfill.

the consumer decision journey allows us to make far more accurate decisions on targeting and content strategy.
