AuthorRank, What Is It?

It is a new metric, recently introduced by Google to recognize the author of a specific blog. Google identifies what subject area the author writes about the most, who the aruthor is, and how dominant and famous they are in that area.

Google is in need of filtering out the quality from the inferiority, so to speak now because content is being produced on a vast scale and then distributed on an even wider scale.

There are a number of factors in place to how authoritative an author is, such as the number of followers you have on social networks, and how often the content you publish gets shared.

Getting Started.

This is where the Google+ social platform comes in, as you will need to tie in Google+ with your content, establishing the valid connection between author and content.
