{1 What’s Google Authorship… 
} And Why It Died
What is Google Authorship? 
Source: http://moz.com/blog/bye-bye-author-pics
Why Google Authorship Was Cancelled: Low Adoption 
Source: Web Marketing Today. Nearly half of 500 authors who write for 150 major media sites had no 
Authorship profile at all.
To clean up the visual design of our 
search results, and simplify the way 
authorship is shown in mobile and 
desktop search results. 
--John Mueller, Google

} Impact on SEO & Online Visibility
What did bloggers think?
Did it Help? 
• Information was not overly useful to 
searchers 
• Didn’t help identify authority and high-quality 
content
Muddied up mobile…
Detracted from search results…
{3 Don’t Cry That Authorship is Gone… 
} Three Solutions
• Bylines still appear. 
• Drive traffic to your Google+ profile. 
• Author authority may eventually affect 
rankings.

The ‘Real’ Reason Google 
} Killed Authorship Photo Credit: Nadia Hatoum
Other SEO Experts Don’t Buy it 
Photo Credit: Lotus Carroll
I think it’s because [Google] saw people 
interacting with things outside Google. 
Google wants to keep people on Google, 
this took them off of it and it wasn’t in 
their best interest. 
-- John Rampton, president at Adogy 
“ 
“
It may not be called 
“Authorship” anymore…but 
author influence is still very 
much alive.
