Why dont we get G+ profile images in SERP?

[facit.com]

Hi!

We have a blog on our Swedish Car site. We have around 10 bloggers that blog frequently for us. Most of them have a Google+ profile and has added us to the "contributes to" field. We also have a rel=me tag on each post.

Still after serveral weeks, the Google+ profile picture isnt showing up in the search results.

Here is two examples:

Can anyone help me or explain if there is something I have done wrong?

Thanks in advance!

You have it set up correctly. You can use Google's structured data testing tool to see how the images would look: http://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/richsnippets

Google doesn't guarantee to show authorship information, that's just a possibility and can depend what the person was searching for.

For my site, I find that the pictures that are most likely to show up in the search results are the pictures of the authors who write the most.

It is correctly set up according to the structured data testing tool. Are there any ways to increase the chance to get the profile images to show up?

I have also noticed that the stars on our car tests also has dissapeared...

Could it be that google dont trust us anymore?

Supposedly, once you have verified authorship, Google should take it from there.

I have tried adding direct links on posts to Google+: "Joakim Westman can be found on Google Plus" (which then links to the author's Google+ profile).

The author biography pages on my site almost always come up in the serps with pictures, and I link those back to their Google+ pages as well.

But really, my best indicator has been the more the author writes, the more they show up.

As far as Google not trusting you, I'd look at the overall picture, not display in serps. Google is always messing around with display, for their own reasons.
