How To Implement Breadcrumbs
Cesare has provided an excellent answer here IMO, I like the suggestions for other markups to target. I also strongly agree with finding a plugin to implement this markup, it will save you a lot of time. In addition to his answer, here are a few other resources that I feel will help: BreadcrumbList Schema Page: Find information on the different properties that you can include with this particular markup as well as an example that you can model your breadcrumb schema off of. Structured Data Testing Tool: Use this tool to validate that your schema markup is free of errors. Hope these help!

What are safe promotion techniques for articles targeting low competition keywords on a high authority site?
Hi there, While I do encourage adding internal links where it makes sense, you will also want to amplify, promote and share this content in social media, with relevant industry sites and with industry influencers. The more sites that pick up/share your resource and the more back links it acquires, the better off it is going to perform in organic search. Here are a few resources for amplifying your content: How to Get Content into the Hands of Influencers Who Can Help Amplify It - Whiteboard Friday How to Hack the Amplification Process - Whiteboard Friday

What’s the best way to handle multiple website languages in terms of metatags that should be used and pages sent on our sitemap?
Allan, the Google resource is the base. However, remember always that: Google suggests using always the rel="canonical", even if it's only self-referential. The href in the hreflang must always indicate a canonical URL. If not, Google will consider it a mistake and won't consider the hreflang. If you're targeting two different languages (i.e.: English and Spanish), the use of the hreflang is not strictly necessary, however using it is another signal you give to Google about how you want your urls target a specific audience based on language or language/country.

Is the flow of page rank through anchor text links diminished if hidden using tabs
Absolutely not. Google reads a text view (view source) of the page, where it doesn't matter if that content is "hidden" first of all. Unless it's being dynamically loaded with ajax when you click on the button. If it's there from moment 0 when the page loads, but just hidden with CSS you have nothing to worry about. Hope this helps If it does please send a like. Thanks!

Keyword keeps fluctuating between a high rank and no rank?
That's a good point. I've tried incognito etc. I even use a few SERP tracking tools and they reflect the same thing. SERPWoo for instance will send me an alert saying they keyword "started ranking" instead of the normal alert that says it went up or down. I guess it's comforting to hear someone else is seeing something similar though b/c I haven't seen anyone report this and I've done a lot of searching for it.

Is it necessary to use Google's Structured Data Markup or alternative for my B2B site?
I concur with Matthew and Travis. At a minimum, every single business site can benefit from: 1. indicating to both bots and users at least what is your industry niche via schema. 2. adding the schema for reviews to gain gold stars in SERPs.

Tools to bulk compress images?
Hi! I personally like to use the service of Kraken.io. Check their pricing, but I'd say it is a low cost and efficient way to handle the images. We have been using it with their magento extension. But they also have a plugin for Wordpress. (https://kraken.io/plugins) I know, it is not the only solution, but it worked well for me Good luck!

Blog on Custom Website - WordPress Alternatives
Thanks for the response. Medium will not work for us, since we need to have a blog ON our website, on the same domain, in a folder. That's why WP usually works. Medium would take all the SEO goodness from our domain Ghost and Jekyllrb - haven't used of these guys, but aren't they third party hosted as well?
