      Google +

      https://plus.google.com/109551624336693902828/posts

      Have done checks :-

      • ?rel=author at end of profile url on site - Yes

      • Profile discovery option on in Google+ - yes

      • Contributor link in Google+ - yes

      • Email validation done - yes

      • Photo fitted in size - yes

      • Rich snippet showing authorship established with photo - yes

      still the photo not coming in for last 6 months now. Any suggestion pls

        Hi Gagan,

        Try using the Rich Snippets testing tool http://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/richsnippets let me know if you can see the photo there when you type in the sample URL. If not then there is an issue with your code setup as this pulls fresh on each request.

        If however you do see it there then it's possible that it's an issue on either your local cache or how your site is caching on Google. Are you sure the latest edits are live and crawlable?

          Hey Gagan,

                    One thing I noticed is that your using the rel="author" tag twice on the blogs you provided, one to link to your internal profile and one for your Google+ profile. I would try removing the tag from the internal link and leave it for the Google+ link and see if that makes a difference.

                      Hi Gagan - Did you see the response I left you on your original question at http://moz.com/community/q/authorship-photo-not-showing-in-for-last-6-months-now? I included a couple screencaps of Authorship showing for select searches.

                        Hi Brian,

                        Sure. Thanks. However, We tried this earlier. Will do it again. Infact there are other sections like News & Reviews too - which has only single link to Google+ Profile - but unfortunately doesnt work to show author photo.
