Welcome to the Q&A Forum

I don't believe there is a method of activating the rich snippets, it is about implementing it correctly and waiting for Google to cache it. I may be wrong but I just did research for this same type of problem.

I would double check your code using this rich snippet tool, and then if it does not show there, use this guide for trouble shooting rich snippets.

Other than that you may have to wait! Good Luck

You must remember that rankings don't only rely on back links. there are many factors like content, social signals & on page optimization to name the bigger players.

Personally I would remove one of the two words "jigsaw puzzles" occurring in the websites title.

If you can limit that word to about 15 times of occurring, that would be optimal. I looked at your page source and indeed it would be hard to limit the number of times it gets repeated. Try to add other keywords in, like Puzzle Games!

Hope this helps!

This could come off as a "Blog Network" to Google and would be frowned upon. Since your Directory was dinged, I wouldn't associate it with your other websites. Personally I had 5 sites myself that were all in a "General" niche but a little different and all linking up with each other. They did not get penalized or anything but as soon as those updates rolled out I removed their linking structure. Better to be safe than sorry!

Yes, you should receive the juice!

There is great benefit to doing this! You would be putting your content in front of more people while increasing your changes of them sharing it. I think 4 per month would be as much as you would want to do. You will want to think about value to the readers most of all, and think about news broadcasters and how they might respond or take action to your press releases. If you publish a great story every week vs so so stories every day, they would take you more seriously if you did the 4 per month route.

My past boss who is very good at creating controversy in the sugar daddy dating niche via seeking arrangement, was really good at this. He always tried to provide site data about the users and presented it in a controversial way to make other writers react.

His press schedule depends on what is going on, and usually tries to push something out every week or so. Sometimes he would post anything for a month.

The best way to approach this is to make a plan of when and where you will be publishing these stories. Be consistent and do research on the art of press releases!  This post should help a bit.

I would work on sharing those articles, that is the only thing possible you could do. Hoping that Google will connect the dots of those articles content with her name.

It may work, it may not.

Good luck!

No, but it will offer a competitive analysis of keywords you provide it!

I am not sure of other services like SEMRush, I have only used them before.

I highly doubt Negative SEO was used on your post. Unless you can see / gather off site data the would prove otherwise. Google likes fresh content, and will normally rank fresh content high for a few days and is common for that post to be dropped after awhile.

On second thought, looking at your back links through Ahrefs I wouldn't rule out the possibility you could have been sabotaged.

June 25th @ 293 back links to _July 2nd @ 628 back links _

I think that is pretty fast for negative SEO.. Do you or anyone else in your company or have hired someone to do "SEO Work"?

By the way, I show that you rank #9.. "First Citizens Bank Overdraft Fees"

Being dinged for duplicate content would be penalized as whole on your website, not just by page.

If the post is original and you just have a picture of the book with a sentence or two of it's description, I do not think that would harm or trigger a filter on your website.

They usually go for "substantive blocks of content within or across domains that either completely match other content or are appreciably similar"

I have always used WordPress for websites because the ease of SEO implementation. Has always performed to my liking as well. I haven't used Joomla much but I know people that claim the same.. "More Functionality" I am almost certain that the same level of SEO techniques or Changes can be utilized on both CMS platforms.

Gather a list of all the old HTML URL's
Gather a list of all the new ASP URL's

Find your .htaccess file. Edit it and start adding this,

Redirect 301 /old-file.html http://www.domain.com/new-file.asp

for each of the old/new URL's

Hope this helps, more info can be found here. Remember the best way would be to do it the right way!

Including the keyword in the URL would be better. If you change the URL's I would recommend downloading a redirect plugin. WordPress will not automatically redirect for you.

You should beable to change the page/post URL by editing the SLUG!

Could be the reason they say to use..

mysite.com/news/this-is-the-news-title/1234

mysite.com/user/my-name/123

generally is best practice, read up on this best url practice post by Rand.

I have not personally tried this, I've read some people suceeding with doing this but I highly doubt it. You are basically passing the Authority of a domain of "penalized"  to a new domain that has 0 Authority. If it penalizes your new domain, that tactic could be used against people so I doubt but unsure if that is how Google treats it. If anything you will get another message saying your website has unnatural links pointing to it.

You should probably use Canonical.

Here is a breakdown on how to identify and when to use this feature.

Also this may help you with implementing the Canonical feature.

Don't you hate when you get support like that?!

Anywho, you forward the DNS of your sub domain at GoDaddy.

To Edit a Subdomain

1. Log in to your Account Manager.
2. Next to Domains, click Launch.
3. From the Tools menu, select DNS Manager. The DNS Dashboard displays.
4. For the domain name with the subdomain you want to edit, click Edit Zone. The Zone File Editor displays.
5. In the A (Host) section, click the subdomain you want to edit.
6. Edit any of the following fields:
   • Host — Enter the subdomain you want to use. Type @ to map the record directly to your domain name, including thewww.
   • Points to — Enter the IP address you want the subdomain to point to.
   • TTL — Select how long the server should cache the information.
7. Click Save Zone File, and then click OK.

Hope that helps!

This is sort of confusing as to what you are trying to accomplish. However I think I may understand as to what you are asking. If so, I believe this doctors picture only shows for one general field of practice? and you want to show for multiple practices?

This will depend on what your "Author Profile" contains regarding bio information, I would have to assume. This can be achieved using a Google + account.

Insert this code into the header of an article you publish on your website or anywhere on your website. (After you have properly setup your google + profile)

[(insert ID# -- https://plus.google.com/**11011000110101101**/about --)">About (**Doctors Name**)](https://profiles.google.com/<span style=) 

Make sure to remove all underlined text but keep the 'bolder' sections after you find the appropriate info.

**Hope this helps!**
