Authorship for articles with more than one author
-
Hello,
Is there any way to do authorship for articles with more than one author listed? If so, how?
-
What's a good guide for doing this? We're using Joomla and if Google just displays the first author that'll work great.
-
Yep, in terms of Google picking it up in the SERPs, they are only going to display 1 author (if appropriate).
So, it depends on whether or not that is your intended goal.

Hi Bob,
Remember that still if you use this plugin for co-authors Google will always pick the first editor and use their picture in the attribution for Google Authorship in the SERPs (in which I don't say that they won't attribute it to both but just show the first).

Co-authorship is definitely possible.
If you are on wordpress you can use this https://wordpress.org/plugins/co-authors-plus/
It's pretty much the same concept for other platforms.

Downsides on shortening article title?
Hi there, I'm new to Moz: great tool so far! I just tried the page optimization feature and see that (for instance for this article) page titles are often too long. Now it's tempting to just shorten the title straight away, but I have a memory of someone once telling me changing the title will change the URL. And changing the URL is something not appreciated by Google. Could someone please explain if and why this is/isn't the case? And if there are any downsides/things to consider before changing the article's title? Thank you in advance!

301, Canonical, and Page Authority
I have been trying to find an answer to this question for awhile now but I am having trouble. I have a clients site that I need to redirect and Canonical the pages to correct duplicate content issues and title tags however, the issue with this client is that some of the www. pages have a higher PA than non-www and the reverse is true. I am wondering if there is an issue with chasing the PA to get the highest PA per page (even if this means the site is going to be a mix of www. and non-www. pages)? I am extremely new to SEO so I apologize ahead of time if I missed this in the forum.

Re SEO, Is it better to have a mega menu or one split into categories?
Hi From an SEO perspective is it better to have 1 large listed menu - over 100 internal links - or say a much smaller menu split into say 10 categories - so 10 links.
On-Page Optimization | | joeprice
This menu would be appearing on nearly all pages but not the home page In terms of the user experience, in my case, I have a feeling having 1 large menu is possibly preferable as it reduces the number of clicks the user makes to get to the desired information and categorisation can be a bit subjective, but i'd like some advice from an SEO perspective. Thanks0
