SMO - Author Image

[zco_seo]

Hi Friends,

I am having some doubts in author image in the social media websites.

For example: I am having account in twitter, facebook and Google+ should I use the same image for all these 3 websites.

Your Feedback on this is important for me.

Thanks for your time.

It's what I do and I know a lot of people do it too.

I think it's a good idea as it gives you consistency across the networks, which allows you to market yourself.

If you think about traditional advertising, you start to notice a brand more and think about its reputation if you constantly see it wherever you go.

It's the same for these profile pictures - I can recognise bloggers and SEOs just by their profile pictures.  Not only does that make me want to look out for their post when I see it and not just scroll over, it also adds a a touch of authority to them.

I agree very much with Tom's view - consistency brings you brand awareness and users are drawn to authors they recognise. I know that I generally am.  I can't really see any benefit in using different images for your social media profile so would suggest using the same ones.

I seem to agree with everyone else.  You definitely want people to remember you for what you are and who you are.  That's why you want to use the same image across all networks.
