Welcome to the Q&A Forum

My experience to date is that it is provided the topics are relevant.

thanks Sanket

great response. thanks Ian

What are the top 10 ways to reduce page loading times and speed up a website?

thanks Miriam, a great list

thanks Mark - good info. The announced changes are likely why the response has been the way it is.

thanks Marie. An interesting forum and lots of changes at the local search level

thanks Gyi

thanks Roberto. A great resource and it also answered an unrelated question on google place pages

Would like to read articles on local SEO that have been recently published in the past few months. Has anyone come across good articles on this topic?

Anyone else having problems with google place pages? Create a page and then have it become merged with someone else's place page. Try to correct it to no avail? Try to delete it only to find that it still shows up?

thanks

Quality above the fold is often mentioned for SEO. Is there a good definition of what is above the fold?

Having just converted my website from static html to wordpress I now find that I am getting hfeed and hentry warnings from the google rich snippet testing tool. They appear as

hfeed
hentry
Warning: At least one field must be set for HatomEntry.
Warning: Missing required field "entry-title".
Warning: Missing required field "updated".
Warning: Missing required hCard "author".

I assume that they are related to the blog post excerpts that appear on my homepage but not sure nor have I found a way to deal with the warnings.

Advice on this issue needed

Up until a few weeks ago my testimonial review ratings (5 star rating system) were showing up in search results but they no longer do. Went to the google rich snippet testing tool and they still do there just not on the real search results. Any thoughts on why? Perhaps an algorithm change?

no it is not checked

They do not have the slash but the Yoast SEO package has it in the automatic rel=canonical which I cannot find to change

all done through the widgets per attached example

i created the home page through the appearance/widgets menu using an agentpress theme built on the genesis framework. there is no "home page" appearing as either a page or post in these menus (unless I am missing something)
