G+ and Authorship & Publisher

[Dan-Lawrence]

Hi

Ive got one client for whom i have connected their G+ personal page to their site via the email process of setting up authorship.

I also set up their company page on G+ and want to link it to the site too but its saying site is already verified/linked.

I know i havn't added any rel=pub code to the site so dont know how this can be unless of course its using the already established author details (since admin for the co page) to make the company page connection.

Is it the case that you now don't need to add the rel=pub code to establish publisher/verify link with your website ? Similarly to no longer needing to add rel=auth to site to establish authorship (since that can now be established via email) ?

Any clarity here appreciated ?

Cheers

Dan
