I used
<link rel="author" href="https://plus.google.com/113756..7573388>
in the head of my page. Then I put the address of my page in the contributor section of my google+ account.
Now when I go to richsnippets tool it says Error: Author profile page does not have an authorship link to a Google Profile.
What should I do more so that the picture of my profile to appear in searches?
Thanks!

2) Add a reciprocal link back from your G+ profile to the site(s) you just updated.
The instructions are here, see option 2:

Check with the Structured Data Testing Tool:
Google makes it pretty clear that they don’t guarantee your G+ avatar will appear in SERPs even if you have correctly established authorship; there’s no guarantee.
