SpeedLink 41, Google Authorship, Blogging, SEO And Social Media

Hi everyone! Hope you all had a great week and looking forward to Halloween, at least for those of you who celebrate. Much has been happening all over the place and guess who is not stopping any moment soon? From acquisitions, to nearly everyday launch of new features on G+, Google has been busy. New AdSense reports, new features on G+ such as the “view ripples”, and much more.

Another novelty that they came up with this week is the Google Authorship verification, now being possible, only by using your email address. This makes everything much easier, although there is a catch. If you choose this path, just bear in mind that you have to set your email address public, meaning that everyone will be able to see it. I do see some possible advantage of using this form, like being visible even commenting on other blogs. If you are interested to find out more, read this post. BTW, what do you think of this move?

Anyway, and as usual, in no particular order.
