Leverage other peoples author rank for your site?

[monster99]

Hi quick question, lets say you find writers in your niche and get them to do a guest post for your site and they have also built up alot of author rank (active google+ account, tones of social media followers).

From my understanding you cannot leverage their author rank for your site since their google+ profile needs to be connected to your site?

Unless it connected, you will not get any author rank benefit?

Cheers,

Yes, just ask them to add your website in the “Contributor To” section of their Google Plus profiles and you are done. However, I would love to read this post before you make any such decision –
