<zhead>
Link

author

Links to information about the author of the current page.

Code examples

Good example
<link rel="author" href="/authors/ada/">
Links the page to a local author profile.
Avoid this example
<link rel="author">
Has no href, so it does not create an author link.

Recommendations

  • 01
    Link to useful author information
    Choose a stable profile or biography page that identifies the person or organization responsible for the page.
  • 02
    Do not promise an SEO boost
    The relation describes authorship. The HTML standard does not assign ranking benefits to it.
