<blockquote class="tr_bq">
We’re transforming Google into a search engine that understands not
only content, but also people and relationships. We began this
transformation with <a href="http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2009/10/introducing-google-social-search-i.html">Social Search</a>, and today we’re taking another big step in this direction by introducing three new features:<br />
<br />
<ol>
<li><b>Personal Results</b>, which enable you to find information just
for you, such as Google+ photos and posts—both your own and those shared
specifically with you, that only you will be able to see on your
results page; </li>
<li><b>Profiles in Search</b>, both in autocomplete and results, which
enable you to immediately find people you’re close to or might be
interested in following; and, </li>
<li><b>People and Pages</b>, which help you find people profiles and
Google+ pages related to a specific topic or area of interest, and
enable you to follow them with just a few clicks. Because behind most
every query is a community. </li>
</ol>
Together, these features combine to create Search plus Your World.
Search is simply better with your world in it, and we’re just getting
started.</blockquote>

Google provides three more links (related) to read more from the same author to the user. These three more links for the author are displayed in the search if user hits back button (browser back button) after reading article/post from the same author (spent a bit time in previous article/post).<br />

Google displays author information in the Google search results and if you want to display your authorship information for the content you create in the Google search results,<br />
- you will need to create your <a href="http://plus.google.com/me">Google+ profile</a> and then verify authorship of your content, i.e link your Google+ Profile with the content you create.<br />
<br />
Google provides following two methods to link your Google+ profile with the content you create. [ <a href="http://support.google.com/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=1408986">learn more</a> ] <br />
1. Using verified email address to link to your content. i.e verify your email address (author@example.com) on the same domain as your content. <br />
2. Build authorship by linking your content to your Google+ Profile.<br />
- from your webpage, create a link to your Google+ profile. i.e <a href="[profile_url]?rel=author">Google</a><br />
- Edit your Google+ Profile, and add your website link in the "Contributor to" Section.<br />
<br />
You can use <a href="http://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/richsnippets">structured data testing tool</a> to check what author data Google has extracted.<br />

Received the PIN, verified and this is what we see if we try to "<u>See your listing on Google</u>" in the dashboard. Yes, Google still has not solved this "We currently do not support the location" issue.<br />
This is a newly created business listing and needs to have citations as well.
