Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Kind of exiting though. Everytime google picks up on a couple of URLs my rankings shoot up. Its exciting to see ^_^

Tim, It is tough to say where to start on that page if you're going to provide recommendations on how to get the review to show up. I guess I'd start by marking up the single review / rating itself on the page in JSON-LD, as well as the aggregateRating. The review should be about that specific guide, not the company as a whole. Make sure that the review and rating are both viewable on the page, definitely not a thousand pixels off-screen, and preferably without JavaScript rendering. If JS has to be rendered client-side (as is the case of everything but the Facebook pixel in the Noscript tag) then make sure the page can be rendered by Google. As of now, it does not appear to be (see cache link below), but the "Fetch and Render" tool in Search Console is a better way to know for sure. https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:GVg0uOtMoUQJ:https://gydeandseek.com/budapest/gabriella+&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us&client=firefox-b-1-ab

Replying to question.

Yeah that's pretty much overkill. "No-follow" isn't actually named very well as it doesn't prevent users or search engines from 'following' a hyperlink. I know, it was named really badly! In fact many people feel it's not even a directive to stop links from being 'followed' (or visited) What the no-follow tag is commonly used for these days is to denote the difference between editorial and advertorial hyperlinks. It's only really an issue with external links, rather than internal ones. If you have placed content on another site (and you paid for it, like a sponsored post) with a link pointing back to your own site (to try and get referral traffic), the 'no-follow' tag lets Google know that the link is advertorial in nature and thus should not pass PageRank to the receiving domain / web-page Because of this a lot of people believe that if you no-follow a link, it doesn't vent or lose any PageRank. This is false. If a link is default ('followed'), then an amount of PageRank will be lost from the linking page and donated to the receiving page. If a link is 'no-followed', the PageRank will still be lost by the linking page but the receiving page just won't get anything (so it gets vented into cyberspace). This is to stop "PageRank sculpting" using no-follow links from being a viable SEO manipulation tactic As such, all no-following your duplicate internal links will do is vent tiny chunks of SEO authority without them then being appended to other pages on your site (so little bits of authority just get lost from your website's ecosystem) It's not a huge problem that you should freak out about, in-fact the noticeable difference in performance via either implementation (I would guess) would be negligible to totally unnoticeable But still - why chip away at yourself right? That's what your competitors are there for

You generally want to have the tag at the top of the page, above the content paragraph. **Keep it close in relation to the content that is below it also for correlation, **Personally, I'd have it below the banner for that context and keeping a better user experience. Typically, you don't place an inside the HEADER of the page, but rather the of the site. The Title tag would be in the header. As long as there is only one H1 tag it doesn't really matter where it is as you are calling it the most important title. Use H2-4 for all the other headings on the page and it will be read that way. As long as the H1 is concise and to the point relating to the page in question above or below makes no difference. Bruce Clay has a decent view on this and is usually pretty accurate on such things.

As said above, great question though.

Hi Bob, This is one of the woolier aspects of SEO ("quality" or trust). One thing I'd recommend is getting familiar with Google's Quality Rater/Evaluator Guidelines: https://static.googleusercontent.com/media/www.google.com/en//insidesearch/howsearchworks/assets/searchqualityevaluatorguidelines.pdf These are the guidelines they provide to their ~10k human search quality raters - this is the group they use to review potential changes to their search results to gather qualitative data on those results. You'll see that there's not much "hard" data to go on here, but one way we've measured this and made it actionable at Distilled is by running surveys that we can deploy via SurveyMonkey+Amazon Mechanical Turk to get some sense of how the "average user" would rate a site across some of these points. Here's a blog post that walks through the process: https://www.distilled.net/blog/seo/replicate-googles-panda-questionnaire-processing/ There are no universally-applicable tips here, but trust elements like badges, aggregate user reviews, testimonials, etc are good places to start. Depending on the niche, if you're dealing with "YMYL" (Your Money Or Your Life) topics, basically any advice that could have a serious impact on a person's quality of life, Google has made big shifts recently (see: "Medic" update) to prefer sites where the "experts" running them or publishing content have clean, established reputations in the space (not just accolades displayed on the site itself but elsewhere on the web). This seems to have been particularly important for sites that are offering both advice and selling "solutions" related to that advice (for example, a medical advice blog that's connected to an ecommerce site that sells dietary supplements). Hope this helps! Best, Mike

Hi Serge, Google removed the warning from our pages and they are back to normal. However Google didn't give any info on what exactly caused the issue. Probably they marked by mistake and removed the warning. We have removed the meta descriptions after receiving this warning which were added two weeks back before this issue, but I don't think they have anything to do with this. Even the third party http links are not the culprits as they are still at the pages. Thanks

Wow, that's just ridiculous. I'm glad you figured it out though.

There's nothing I can really add, Egol gave you the short and best possible answer

Hi, My upvote for slash! Use domain/category/product This way, you can rank your category sites and your product site. Have a nice day

Would you be able to send me a dm with a copy of that email? I'm interested in larger sized automatic sites and trying to figure out where the limit is (and how yours isn't allowed when others are)

Just realised, it's most likely a post not a page e.g: https://www.padstowsealifesafaris.co.uk/endangered-sea-life-uk/ (blog post with date stamp) https://www.padstowsealifesafaris.co.uk/boat-trips/ (page with no date stamp.)
