How to Add Author Profile Picture in Google Search Results Page

---

Step 1. Comply the pre-requisite requirements below:
1. Of course, you must own a certain website.
2.  A Goggle Plus account.
3. Create an About Me or About Us page much better if it contains your profile picture, a 128px by 128px size JPEG format will do.
 If you meet all those pre-requisite requirements above, you may now proceed to the next steps.
Step 2.  Add the link below  anywhere in your site (either in header, footer or sidebar).

<a href="https://plus.google.com/GOOGLE+ ID"
  rel="author" target="_blank"> Join me on Google+</a>

Customization:

• Replace the GOOGLE+ID with your own G+ ID.  You can get this one at the browser address bar of your G+ account. Please take a look at the screenshot below.

• You can replace the texts in green Join me on Google+ (optional).

Step 3. In your About me page add the link below at the  beginning of your About me page (see my About me as an example).

<a href="https://plus.google.com/110772451841046895789" rel="me" title="Cerwenlloyd gefjun">Cerwenlloyd Gefjun</a>

• The series of 21 numbers in orange bold is my Google + ID, replace it with your own.
• The name in blue color is my G+ Profile name, replace it also with your own G + profile name.
• Replace Cerwenlloyd Gefjun with your name ( much better if it is the same with your G + profile name).

 Step 4. Next is you are going to add your About me page anywhere in your blog using the link below. In my case, I add it at the footer  my blog.

<a rel="author" href="http://bloggingtipsandtrix.blogspot.com/2012/12/about-me.html">About</a>

Customization:

•  Change the URL (http://bloggingtipsandtrix.blogspot.com/2012/12/about-me.html) with the URL of your About page.
• Replace the text About with your own word ( like About me or About us)

Step 5. Go to your G+  Profile account  scroll down and click the link button. See the screenshot below.

Step 6.  Add the URL of your Home page, Contact, and About. You may also put the URL of your Facebook fan page  and Twitter link.

Step 7. Upload your profile picture  on Google+ (this photo is the same with what you had uploaded in your About page). Your photo must  be a  128 px by 128px or 150px by 150px in size. (See the screenshot below for help).

Note: Don't upload a rectangular image.
Step 8. Save your uploaded profile picture  and you're done!
