http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc53/zymurgy_bucket/no-google-plus-image-snippet.jpgI feel ive waited long enopugh for it to be working by now & today i went back to the drawing board to see why does Kate Mallender have a pic & I dont. But having looked at my set up:

Hi Mat & Thank you for taking timne out to llok at my problem
When you say -"Try adding a link to your Google + page in the 'author bio' section of one of your articles"
Do you mean linking form the footer of davidclick.com to Google+ and linking back out from Google+ to my home davidclick.com page is not enough? Do i have to create a "Author bio" page in my website davidclick.com
Thanks,
David

If you have already ruled out that you set up your authorship correctly, then it is just a waiting game.
It took me almost 3 weeks before I saw it show up in the SERPs.
Test your url on this testing tool from Google to be sure you set it up right:

I submitted mine a week ago, and it also didn't appear at first.
I double checked using this: http://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/richsnippets and it started working quickly thereafter. Don't know if it was actually the problem with worth testing out to see if you have done everything correctly!

I had some trouble setting mine up and it ended up being my links were set to private instead of public.
Make sure all your G+ is public than list all the steps you have made I have successfully setup about 5 authorships now all work

Hi Nightwing!
I had the exact same problem a couple of weeks ago. But I seem to have resolved the issue now!
Try adding a link to your Google + page in the 'author bio' section of one of your articles. As well as a link to that article in the 'contributor to' section of your G+ page. Which I can already see that you've done the latter.
It can take a couple of days to show up but it worked a treat for me!
Best of luck

Google News problem
Hello to all. The latest Google algorithm changes have had a big impact on the way that Google news features stories, at least in my country. I've been featured heavily in Google News until about 6th of october, when the changes had the biggest impact, but since then, I haven't been featured at all. Prior to this, I would be featured for keywords on almost any article, not necessarily on the 1st position, but I was almost always there. Posts still show up in the dedicated News category, but not in the main search pages. I've seen a lot of websites being impacted, but some with lower ranks than mine still show up there. I haven't done any changes prior to the 6th of october, and I haven't done any link building campaings, just getting links from higher ranking news sites in my country, for articles I wrote. What I'd like to know is if there were any major changes for Google News and I'm not complying with any of them, or If i could check to see if there are any other problems. I don't have any penalties disclosed by Google, and no new errors in the Webmasters console, I'm just baffled by the fact that overnight the website was completely cut off from being featured in Google News. And one other strange thing, I'm now ranking better for searches that are kind of opposite to my website's main theme. Think about mainly writing about BMW, and less about AUDI, but ranking a lot better for the latter, and a lot less for the other. Thank you.

Fetch as Google issues
HI all, Recently, well a couple of months back, I finally got around to switching our sites over to HTTPS://. In terms of rankings etc all looks fine and we have not move about much, only the usual fluctuations of a place or two on a daily basis in a competitive niche. All links have been updated, redirects in place, the usual https domain migration stuff. I am however, troubled by one thing! I cannot for love nor money get Google to fetch my site in GSC. No matter what I have tried it continues to display "Temporarily unreachable". I have checked the robots.txt and it is on a new https:// profile in GSC. Has anyone got a clue as I am stumped! Have I simply become blinded by looking too much??? Site in Q. caravanguard co uk. Cheers and looking forward to your comments.... Tim

Google Places Reviews
Has anyone had any delays on Google+ reviews to show up? We have multiple clients who have not received a new review in over two months. These are good accounts with good Zagat scores with 15+ good reviews from real customers. Our clients have asked their clients and have confirmed that there has been reviews left recently. However no new reviews have shown up in the past 60+ days.

Does Google index has expiration?
Hi, I have this in mind and I think you can help me. Suppose that I have a pagin something like this: www.mysite.com/politics where I have a list of the current month news. Great, everytime the bot check this url, index the links that are there. What happens next month, all that link are not visible anymore by the user unless he search in a search box or google. Does google keep those links? The current month google check that those links are there, but next month are not, but they are alive. So, my question is, Does google keep this links for ever if they are alive but nowhere in the site (the bot not find them anymore but they work)? Thanks

How to disallow google and roger?
Hey Guys and girls, i have a question, i want to disallow all robots from accessing a certain root link: Get rid of bots User-agent: * Disallow: /index.php?_a=login&redir=/index.php?_a=tellafriend%26productId=* Will this make the bots not to access any web link that has the prefix you see before the asterisk? And at least google and roger will get away by reading "user-agent: *"? I know this isn't the standard proceedure but if it works for google and seomoz bot we are good.

Why do I see dramatic differences in impressions between Google Webmaster Tools and Google Insights for Search?
Has anyone else noticed discrepancies between these tools? Take keyword A and keyword B. I've literally seen situations where A has 3 or 4 times the traffic as B in Google Webmaster Tools, but half the traffic of B in Google Insights for Search. What might be the reason for this discrepancy?
