Google Authorship is Dead. Now What?

So Google Authorship is no more.

We can’t get those spiffy thumbnails next to our original content so now it’s going to be much harder to stand out.

Or is it?

Well, what if your stuff couldn’t be gamed, spoofed or stolen?

What if it could follow you around wherever you went, assuring the world that your stuff is your stuff?

And what if it grew in value the longer it was out there? We might even call that…authorship.

Hi, Steve

As long as they don’t put an end to YouTube, why worry about? Anyway, thanks for keeping us informed and congratulations – your videos are great!

Not much chance of YouTube disappearing is there? Still, it’s nice not to have to be a digital sharecropper all the time. There are many options and many places for video!

Absolutely right, Steven!

I don’t think they would put an end to YouTube nowadays – and I really hope they don’t, I’m just about to start my website’s channel there 😉

Hello Steve, I had Google authorship and was aware of its removal.
I have been considering what to do to replace the lost. Where is all of
my information? I guess nothing is forever. Where does one begin to fix
delete of Google authorship and find another way to get known?
Thanks for the video.
