Author Publicity Sweepstakes Winners

As our recent Author Publicity Sweepstakes contest has now come to a close, it’s time to announce our winners. To recap, in order to enter this sweepstakes, writers and on-screen talent needed to get started with Google Authorship, a Google-operated initiative that creates a connection between the sites where your content lives and your authoritative voice online. Google Authorship makes it so that when someone searches on Google for something you have content about, results containing your content can appear in results with your name and Google+ profile picture.

It’s our pleasure to congratulate community members Bennett Gavrish and Deb Powers!

Thank you to all of the participants, and be sure to keep an eye out for future sweepstakes and contests here on the Studio Blog.

Thanks, DMS! What a neat perk for prodding me to finally get around to doing something I'd been planning to do anyway. I'd started the setup as part of optimizing websites for Goggle Snippets, but never got around to finishing. It's very cool seeing pictures with my recipes (with Google Snippets optimization) and the link leading to my Google+ profile from search results has already paid off with an inquiry about taking on a blog project.

Thanks so much, DMS! I've been with the studio for four years and am grateful for having such a great outlet for my writing. I was thrilled a few years ago when I was lucky enough to win a DMS t-shirt, so you can imagine how excited I was when I found out I had won the iPad!

I strongly recommend that other DMS writers take the time to get started with Google Authorship and highlight their DMS profile on Google+. It's a great way to spread the word about your new articles and make your search results more authoritative.
