The latest ‘Econsultancy’ blog post is titled “Does Google’s authorship integration affect search rankings?”.

Marcus Tober says, “It would not be a big surprise if Google was using information from Google author profiles to influence how pages rank in searches., but as yet there is no evidence to show a correlation between author profiles and better ranking URLs. 

Google’s authorship markup feature allows news, other online publications and blogs to use the rel=”author” tag to connect their authors’ online articles to official author profiles on Google+.

The profiles include a profile photo, biography, information about their activity and followers on Google+ as well as  links to other articles by the author”.
