Google Author Markup Introduced

Hey there,

 

Just today I found an article through website magazine that talked about the Big G releasing  a new authorship markup snippet.

Heres an example of one such link:

<a rel=”author” href=”/aboutme”>Jason Baker</a>

This bit of markup on a site such as mine will help google to group content indexed by a particular author. The content must be on the same site as the “author page” In the example above I linked to my about us page…

Google has already helped several sites out implementing this code such as the NY Times, and youtube just to name a few.

This very well may play a part in the near future with the SERPs… Who knows… Only time will tell.

Hope this helps.
