Hi,

I don't want to show my real photo on my site for privacy reasons but I want to have more CTR by implementing Google+ authorship.

What if a buy a royalty free image and use that as my Google+ authorship photo that will show in the search results.

Is that dangerous for Google rankings? Is it blackhat and against the Google guidelines? Or does Google don't care?

    Usually this is forbidden in the TOS of the stock photo agency selling the images.
