Google Authorship allows you to link your Google Plus Profile to the content you create. It is a way to increase the overall user experience and stop spamming. Results containing content from original and reputed authors are valued highly by Google and chances of spamming are also reduced. Hence, implementing Google Authorship is really useful for SEO as it helps a webpage to rank higher based on the author rank.
