Authorship Not Displaying
Hi there, The authorship is based on the personal page not the business one. I suggest you get some followers (or groups) on your personal page and use that a bit. Business page is more of a rel=publisher tag.

Site that's 301 redirected is ranking for brand
Yes, like Keri said. The 301 might not be working. It's actually normal for google to index 301ed domains. Ive seen it more than a handful of times. So it's probably a matter of time before it disappears.

SEO for interior page
Yes, it's possible to be penalised for a single page or single keyword. Your page has mostly san diego domestic violence lawyer as the anchor text. You might want to stop doing that altogether. I didnt take a look at your competitors though so they might be more SEO, but there's a possibility that you got a minor penalty for that keyword phrase.

BizaarVoice Cloud SEO: Canonical Query String
Hello WMCA, Does BV want you to add that rel ="canonical" tag to the main product page, or just the paginated review pages. If the former, I say no way. If the latter, we should discuss further. It could be advantageous, but I'd rather send the authority to the main product page instead.

Why am I not seeing sitelinks for this website?
From what I see when I Google your brand name I get a lot of universal results (images, Yelp, Crunchbase). So that mostly shows that you're still missing a bit of authority for your own site. If you get some more authority based links it's relatively easily to get the sitelinks on for brand related terms.

Is it a bad idea to use our meta description as a short description of a product on that product page?
A lot of companies actually do this but I would suggest doing it separately (with great page content) as it has given me the best results with all the ecom sites we've worked with, even without link building. There's actually no duplicate issues there as I haven't seen one yet for that situation.

Google Places only for business online? Correct or not?
Hi Pompero99, I believe you're asking if it's okay for non-local businesses to have Google+ Local pages. The answer is no. In order to be eligible for a Google+ Local page a business must: Make in-person contact with its customers Have a physical street address Have a local phone number If a business can't say 'yes' to all 3 points, then it does not qualify. If I've misunderstood your question, please let me know.

How to deal with Good lost links
I think that you have to understand why these people deleted your links. A) Are they reading Matt Cutts and worrked that he is going to slap them for linking to you? B) Are you posting things on your site that they don't like? C) Did you competitor contact them and say something that made them take down your links. D) Do they think that their site looks better without links to other websites. E) Are they afraid of losing traffic to you or leaking linkjuice. F) Some other crazy idea in their head. So, maybe the first action would be to get in touch with them to find out why the links were taken down... This would be a hard message to write but maybe you could ask if you did something to offend them and were writing to see if that was the reason.

301 redirect for page 2, page 3 etc of an article or feed
If you're looking to redirect ALL sub-pages to the new main page then you would use mod_rewrite with your .htaccess file something like- RedirectMatch 301 ^/blog/dental-tips(.*)$ http://floridadentist.com/dental-tips/ If you're trying to redirect to the matching URI just under that new sub-directory this would be more appropriate- RedirectMatch 301 ^/blog/dental-tips(.*)$ http://floridadentist.com/dental-tips/$1

Should you use the canonicalization tag when the content isn't exactly a duplicate?
Hey Fuel Interactive -- To answer your specific question, I would use the meta (noindex, follow) tag instead of the canonical. It doesn't pass authority, but it is the correct usage. It will strike the page from ranking consideration, and allow the overall course page to have less competition. Another question for you: is the article listing page already ranking higher than the overall course page, or is this a worry? If it's a worry, I recommend testing it out first so you don't prematurely optimize. Just a thought. Hope that helps -- Andrew
