Author Rank means reputation of a content writer in eyes of Google. In coming time Google may also include Author Rank as a factor for Ranking webpages. Author who will be having better reputation may get higher Ranking in Google for his articles while Authors with less reputation  may rank lower. till now Google ranks sites based on Content's quality and how it is optimized for search engines. but Author Rank means Ranking content based on this thing that who written it?

however some bloggers says that its also possible that Author Rank will never come into place. according to a famous blogger Brian Clark all that we are hearing about Author Rank is just Speculations till now and it is possible that Google may never make Author Rank a factor for Ranking sites. Google Webspam Team Head Matt Cutts also confirmed recently that Google Authorship is not yet a factor in Ranking the Sites.

On other hand some people presents Google's Executive Chairman Eric Schmidt's quote from his book The New Digital Age in which he pointed out towards Ranking those sites higher that are tied with verified profile or Info of people.

So the situation is really confusing about the this Author Rank thing. but we should be ready for both cases even if Google gives Importance to Author Rank or not.
