3. Google Authourship
Google can now show your name and profile picture in search
results next to the stories you may have written. The image
turns link to your Google profile page.
As a content creator or blogger, this is an important feature
for you, because you can now indirectly claim authorship of
your content on Google search pages, this is called Google
authorship.
The advantage of Google's CTR can improve. This is because a
page of Google is often full of text and so people may be
attracted more towards an outcome that has a visual element
(author's photograph) is credited.

4. How it works
Google will often show the author’s profile picture
even when authorship is not properly implemented
on the web site when the Google+ profile page has
the links on the about page.
Since only 9% of tech blogs properly implement the
meta data, Google knows they can’t rely on
webmasters to get it right. So Google is using other
means to make the search results “richer” through
backwards engineering the authorship tags.

5. Let’s get started:
Step 1: create a page to you in your blog, most probably About Me page,
By creating the hyperlink to your Google profile page, remember to add rel =
"me"
<a href= " https://plus.google.com/YOUR ID " rel= " me " >My Profile</a>
Step2: make sure all the blog stories which you have written are linked to
your About Me page
<a href="http://yourwebsite.com/about/" rel= " author " >My biography</a>
Step3: login to Google plus page and add a new custom link that point to your
blog.
