What Makes Google Authorship Lethal to Low Quality Guest Bloggers? [Search Engine Journal]

For a Web Content Writer, you’ll find Google Authorship useful as it could massively increase you content’s CTR. It also helps build your reputation as an author and content provider. However, Google Authorship could also be lethal for low quality guest bloggers.

As Rohit Palit shared on search marketing news site Search Engine Journal:

Large-scale article marketing or guest posting campaigns with keyword-rich anchor text links can “negatively impact a site’s ranking in search results”. So you’re already violating Google’s quality guidelines to begin with. On top of that, you’re letting them know, “Hey there! I’m violating your guidelines, right here, with THIS post!”.

So while it is easy for guest bloggers to establish their authorship online, it is also easier for Google to penalize everything that they have published.
