How to use Author tag - Please help
-
Google has a helpful article in Webmaster Tools about Authorship.
In the case of Atul...
- If his "representative" site is located at http://www.ultraseo.com/author/atul/, then you could apply the rel="author" attribute to links pointing to that page.
- If his site is located somewhere else like http://www.example.com/, then you would need to either: link to the offsite page from each of your articles (again, using the rel="author" attribute on the links)..... Or, if you wanted to keep these links on site and just link to the offsite page where you have "Visit Authors Website" on his profile page. On that link you would have the rel="author" attribute.
In my opinion, I think you should include the profile page link in the article "condensed list" type pages, which are more likely to fall into a noindex situation. Then on the actual article pages you could include the authorship link, giving proper credit where credit is due.

No, if you look at any of the credit links you have under articles already, you'll see that address.

Your Articles page would be a good example of where you could use the rel="author" attribute. Under your article title it says: "In Articles, by Atul". Point the "by Atul" link to the rep page using rel="author".
If I understand correctly, in terms of tying all articles together, Google assign their own valuation when all of the rel="author" links are pointed to the same place.

Yes, in your header.php file, replace the <title>tag with the code from above. The <title> tag must be inside of the <head> tag. Simplified:</p> <blockquote style="background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: #f7f7f7; padding-top: 5px; margin-left: 0px; padding-left: 2px; padding-bottom: 5px; white-space: nowrap; overflow-y: auto; font-family: monospace; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;"> <p><head></p> <p><span style="white-space: pre;"> </span><title>Your Title</title>

Sorry, I misunderstood you... I though you were referring to the title tag since you mentioned the head tag. My bad.
rel="author" is just an attribute added to the author links that you already have in place.

Think of it this way... view the source of the page. Add the rel="author" where you see links pointing to http://www.ultraseo.com/author/atul/.
rel="author" doesn't go anywhere in the . It's an attribute added to <a>links.</a>

The general idea of the rel attribute is to link authors to content.
Check out How to use rel=author tags for SEO... the article goes on to explain that this is part of a new "AuthorRank" system for determining content legitimacy.
