      Buonjourno from 10 degrees C wet Wetherby UK 🙂

      2 months ago i set up my Google+ account so i could get a thumb nail pic like this:
      http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc53/zymurgy_bucket/working-example-thumb-pic.jpg

      But instead i get a pictureless snippet like this:
      http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc53/zymurgy_bucket/no-google-plus-image-snippet.jpg

      I 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:

      http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc53/zymurgy_bucket/authorship-tested-but-no-imagecopy-2.jpg

      I cant see any difference. I admit Ive ran out of ideas, But if any SEO mozzer can point me in the right direction I'd be eternally gratefull 🙂

      Grazie Tanto,
      David

        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 🙂

          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

            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!

              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:

                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
