Google Authorship May Be Dead, But Author Rank Is Not

Google Authorship and Author Rank aren’t the same thing. Here’s why Google Authorship can die yet Author Rank lives on.

The answer is that Google has other ways to determine who it believes to be the author of a story, if it wants. In particular, Google is likely to look for visible bylines that often appear on news stories. These existed before Google Authorship, and they aren’t going away.

Maybe Google will use the old Authorship code (if available) for determining the author.

I am using this plugin because I want my page to be served to search engine bots fast. So, I enabled “Automatically prime the page cache” and “Preload the post cache upon publish events.”.

Is this correct settings?
