Examples of View All Pages for Photo Galleries
Thanks, Benjamin. It's not that we don't know how, I was more interested in best-in-class examples on the internet. I've seen examples of slideshows/galleries that either have regular pagination or they have a jquery slideshow implementation that doesn't load new pages. Just curious if there are non e-commerce examples of 'view all' pages out there.

GWT Change of Address Keeps Failing
Hi Aggie, Sorry that you're experiencing problems with your migration. My first thought was that you need to make sure you've verified non-www and www for both the old domain and the new one. It sounds like you may have done this? What verification method did you use to verify your old domain? I found a thread in the Google Webmaster forums which mentions using a different verification method (DNS record on both domains) and that seemed to fix the problem. Here is the thread: https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/webmasters/2BC36MTFIm4 Let us know if that helps! Paddy

Ideas on why Pages Per Visit Dropped?
Thanks for your candor, EGOL. Was just looking for some insight on where I might look outside of the obvious markers I'd already evaluated. These forums have been been extremely helpful in the past when folks have encountered similar issues before mine. Have a great day!

Where does Google pull the date stamp?
I've looked everywhere, because I suspected the same thing. There is nothing on the page, in the comments or in the code that would create this situation virtually across the board. It wouldn't be that big of a deal, but it's happening with tons of content. Unfortunately, with a news media website, we have to have time stamps, but even if we didn't, I would have no clue how Google is assigning the dates that they are.

Unable to set preferred domain, can I verify a site that's already redirected?
Glad you got it taken care of, Aggie. Now that you've got your answer, could you mark as "Good Answer" whichever answers you found most helpful and mark the overall question as answered? This will help other users who may come across the question in the future. Thanks!

Google News Referral Traffic Gone after CMS Upgrade
Hey Lisa, I was just reading a post about Google News errors and I remembered your question. This part might help? Unknown publication name – an error that I frequently come across in troubleshooting Google News issues is an “unknown publication name” error for the Google News sitemap, which is reported in the Sitemaps section of the site’s Google Webmaster Tools profile**.** This error is triggered when the publication name used in the <name>tags in the Google News sitemap is not an exact match to the publication name in Google News’ database</name>. To determine the correct name to use do a [site:domain] search in Google News and see what publication name is displayed for the indexed pages**.** Source: http://www.adamsherk.com/seo/the-most-common-google-news-errors/

Rel=author markup in head tag
As far as my understanding goes, you have most of it right, except on #2, the link should have rel=me instead of rel=author but you are right, it is all very confusing

Pros and Cons Google Site Search
Mine is customized to match the website and the things that I like about it are.... --- the adsense income is great --- it makes things on a large site very easy to find --- a lot of people who enter the homepage go straight to search

Sitemap Warnings
Irving - Ok, so we took the restriction out of robots.txt while IT tries to fix the issue of URLs showing up on the sitemap that shouldn't. Warnings haven't fallen off and now our sitemap is a day behind now as it's stuck in pending for almost a full day. Any thoughts on what might be causing? I'm assuming this is impacting what's indexed and hurting our site.

Does Bing support a news sitemap yet?
I don't see anything specific on it. Id' ask Bing's Duane Forrester via Twitter twitter.com/DuaneForrester Process in the past: "If you would like to be considered for bing news, please mail your request to bns@microsoft.com" http://www.bing.com/community/webmaster/f/12251/p/649275/9545500.aspx Bing's Duane Forrester on Webmaster Tools, Metrics, and Sitemap Quality Thresholds http://www.seomoz.org/blog/bings-duane-forrester-on-webmaster-tools-metrics-and-sitemap-quality-thresholds

Pagination for image galleries
Well, that is telling Google those pages are related and are part of a series. I don't think that has anything to do with the duplicate page title / description directly. Can you do a "Page 1 - Current Page Title" on these paginated pages in the title or something like "Page 1 of 26 - Red Widget Photos from Amazing Gallery" or whatever you might have. I hope this helps.

Can't canonical, but need pages to show in Google News
CleverPHD. We do link to the originating domain by way of the copyright footer as well as a link back to the original story. Glad to know we're on the same page.
