    Hello,

    I have a problem, I mean question. I am using a wp platform for my current website. What I want is Google to show on the page where my website appears a picture.
    Here's an example:
    [​IMG]

    But I want Google to put there the picture I used for that post. e.g. If on my website is a post regarding lemons and I chose a picture with lemons when I published the post, I want Google to show that image when that post appears on search... If you understand. It's kind of unclear, I guess. I mean, for every post, Google to show the picture I have chosen for it.
    Any ideas? Your answer will be greatly appreciated!

    You need to have a Google+ account and connect it to your site as far as I'm aware.

    Thanks, Greg, I appreciate your answer. Can you tell me exactly what should I do? Just a few ideas, the rest I'll do it myself.

    Regards,
    Alex

    @GregWR is right! If you want to show your own picture, then you must have a google+ Account. To show your face with the posts, you must write the link of your website in Google+ account. You should do it through - Go to your google+ account, edit the "Contributor To" section of LINKS in the About Tab. Label the name of the website and add the link below the label. Once it get added, the google will show your picture along with your posts. But it takes time to show, depends on how many posts have been written by you by the time. Your ranking of posts etc.

    The second question - How can you show the suitable featured image along with the posts into Search results - I always have observed that, it is done randomly. OR better, I don't have an idea for the same. Will get back to you, If I find any answer.
    Thanks.
    :)

    Thanks, Pihu, I think I managed to do it right. I'll wait and see when Google will show the picture.
    I'll be back if there is any problem.

    Thanks again to everyone,
    Alex

    Yes, if you have connected your site with Google+, you would get author picture in SERP.
