Welcome to the Q&A Forum

As others have said, definitely the new/tweaked version, it's a big improvement, nice work! Greg

Hi Guys Thanks, very helpful. We are an ecommerce site and an information site. So I guess we will go with publisher on the homepage and author for content pages. Though we have tried author on product pages and G displays the author photo in the results. Not sure what effect that has, but I like to see a face related to the product. (We sell information products - legal documents). It also helps our product stand-out in the results. Thanks again. Patrick

Hi Sebastian Thanks for the response. We were also concerned about cannibalisation as some of the links/page titles are: qualifying for unfair dismissal, unfair dismissal exceptions, unfair dismissal & retirement, unfair dismissal test.

The other judgment call we need to make is whether to ask for this content to be removed from the search index. It copies our content, but does link back to us. http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showpost.php?p=29850065&postcount=14 This site also gets huge traffic. I guess if the posts stay on the site, but are removed from Google search index we benefit.

Ignoring everything else (elephants included), from a users point of view, if someone is in the US and sees content on a UK domain, they are less likely to click on it. I would go down the route of a .com and then find content to make it worthwhile. You also don't need to wonder where best to point GWT - UK or US. From a positioning point in the SERPs, remember that a .com is generic whilst a .co.uk is UK-centric. Even if it was a part of a .co.uk, I don't know how well it would rank in the US. There are so many factors to take into consideration. Andy

Does anyone know whether google marks down websites reported for copyright issues? (I realise with the big G everything is an element of guesswork, but if anyone has any experience of this please chip in.) Cheers P Hi Wayne Thanks for that. Confirmed what we have been thinking. We have sent the a removal request. Wait and see how long they take to do it. Thanks again Patrick
