> but time and time again one of the quickest ways I have been able to boost SEO traffic to a site

I'm curious what type of sites these were. I could imagine it working for a blog or a professional service, where the face behind the business counts. But for a business website, having an informal photo of a single person, an increase in CTR runs counter to my intuition.

BTW, when I searched "macro recorder", I did not see the G+ profile picture next to the search listing. Is this something that Google is rolling out piecemeal, or does it only display for his personalized search results?




He probably fixed it, having observed his CTR decreasing by 90%. Screenshot was for posterity (I saw it at the previous article, too.)
