Hi guys! recently a read an article about google author rank. it tells that author rank is different from page rank i want to know what is author rank and its uses and how can i get it
Similar to Page Rank, Google has introduced a new metric called Author Rank, which Google uses to identify the authority of a blogger or web author. (Ref Google Patent on Author Rank). Google will not replace page rank with author rank, but it will use both these metrics to improve relevancy of results and promote posts of author’s with greater influence. If you’re working on building your own AuthorRank, you have to do good work with content Create content that demonstrates our expertise. Help improve the reputation, and demonstrate the value, of our field. Help other SEOs by sharing knowledge.
Page Rank essentially gives you credibility for the articles that you write. So the more articles and the BETTER the articles that you write, it helps to give you upcoming articles more "rank". It's a way for Google to help filter out junk articles that people are spinning or paying $2 to have written. I wrote how to get Author Rank setup in my Google+ guide. I'll give it away for free for a little bit of time so you can see how to get it set up: http://www.quadxnet.com/thankyou-googledownload.html If you have any other questions about it let me know and I can help.
I think author rank is the rank of the author of article site. It is also called profile backlink. In this author can create a profile with url and small bio about the business. And post good quality article on that site then author will rank on Google.
Page Rank tells about how much that page is trustly and other ..! Slly Author Rank reflects about the Authrity of author with some site. Once you verified authority with site, you will get some more prefrence in SERP.. Refer: Author Rank
