WordPress Slideshow Gallery Not Showing Alt Tags or any relavent info ?
This will depend on what slideshow plugin you are using. If you respond with that information it will be easier for someone to give you a definite answer, and I will try to do so myself. Edit: for what it is worth, I am seeing the alt tags on your photography website.

Recovered from Penalty But.....
Thank you for quick response. We are working on co-citation (and we get many natural links from highly authoritative domain), Further, we already stopped any kind of automated link building. I dont think so we were effected from other algos, Im saying this because whenever google launched new algo update, we didnt see any drop in traffic yet. We solved many technical issues, suggest new design, improve breadcrumbs, remove ambiguous java scripting, setting up tags, fix metas, fix content etc but wont find any positive change in organic results. I agreed to some extent, our old automated links done much damage to us but we finally recovered from manual penalty, had removed bad links and continuously monitored our link profiles. But Wont recover our rankings and traffic. And i will definitely try to follow your article Thanks Again.

What would Cause listing to fall off local search map spot?
Yes very weird, it came back even improved a spot or two a couple of time and now has been missing for a little while. Not used to seeing something always in the number 4 spot completely dis sapper. Only thing that I have done is straightened out his directories with Moz Local which should help but YP still has a tracking number on his listing which they always did and claim that they have a way for Google to read the real number on the backend but show the public the tracking. Not sure I believe that. Even went as far to have his YP call me when I was trying to get him to have them put it back to his real number. Don't think this would cause this though. This is just for keyword Dentist St Louis... He still shows good for Cosmetic Dentist St Louis and Emergency Dentist St Louis

Should i Disavow links from Secret Search Engine Labs
Hi, I just checked my existing Disavow.txt file and the SEO company we hired to put us in this mess we're in had previously added secretsearchenginelabs.com to it. I should have checked that file before i posted my question. My apologies and please disregard.

Home Page SEO and city specific targeting?
I was checking your website and your on-page optimization. I would like to start with a recommendation. For tablets you don't need to force the visitor to view the mobile version. As for the seo, the website needs some good improvements. Start by changing all the meta titles and the H1 tags. As for the issue with the cities, is best to have other internal and external links pointing to those pages. You could keep them at their current location or give them a more prominent position in the home page. Ps. Wrote the above and then realised that you are redesigning the website. That would make things easier. Yes do add the locations in the home page since is something your visitors will want to see first!

Going mobile: Responsive or different mobile version?
Hi, I agree with The Zen Agency and SEOwoody, responsive is the best way to go. Maybe it take some more time to set it all up, but the advantage you'll have when it's done and also, manage afterwards of one website is worth much more. Goodluck! Leonie

AngularJS - How does Google go?
Google has no problem crawling javascript as long as the files are not blocked in your robots.txt file. See this blog post for more information about what can and cannot be crawled in JS: http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com/2014/05/understanding-web-pages-better.html

Multiple Results On First Page
I believe Google have started considering sub domain as part of the main domain so multiple links of the same domain in the search results is hardly a chance and if you are seeing it, it’s a matter of time when this will change. If you 301 redirect two pages the preferred version will get the links and authority of almost two pages but I am not sure how Google will take it when it comes to rankings as there are 200+ other signals that Google uses when ranking a website in search engines. Ideally what you should be doing is considering your audience in mind before taking any action. If consolidating two pages as one will make a positive difference to audience, I believe you should go for it as audience comes first and search engine comes 2<sup>nd</sup>. Hope this helps!

Link to page in SERP or page with good on-page optimisation
Thanks for your answers. I have decided to link to the less well performing pages with better on page optimisation to get more diversity in my inbound link profile. In my industry it is rare for external links to point at anything but the home page.

Data source of Google Maps in Japan
Thank you for the pointer. Google does indeed lease maps from Zenrin-DataCom. Now I just need to get my head around how they gather information as it is not obvious from their website.
