Google Authorship Troubleshooting: Article Attributed to Wrong Author

One of the toughest Google Authorship troubleshooting requests we get at the Google Authorship and Author Rank community on Google+ concerns misattribution of Authorship in Google search results. Misattribution (Google Search showing an author photo of someone other than the actual author of a content piece) occurs because over the past year-and-a-half or so Google has become more aggressive in trying to attribute Authorship. In many cases, Google will take what appears to be an educated guess at the author of a piece. But sometimes, the fault of misattribution is more the site s responsibility, and that s when some careful troubleshooting (ok, outright sleuthing!) can often uncover the problem. Here s an example mystery attribution that we were able to track down and solve: Community moderator Ann Smarty asked us to look at this result for a search for Time-Saving Apps for Social Media Promotion : A very nice Google Authorship rich snippet search result, right?
