What exactly is an impression in Google Webmaster Tools search queries with the image filter turned on?
That is what I thought but our numbers are so off that it didn't make sense. This site has a great web presence with high impressions and image impressions are much higher. Personally I use web search much more then image search and I imagine most other people do as well.

Should pages with rel="canonical" be put in a sitemap?
I would just title them according to their view type. Try to put your most informative words as close to the front as possible so that it's easy to read in browser tabs, for example: Red Widgets, All Widgets, <$25 Widgets... etc. Meta description could probably be a repeat of the title tag. Make the title as UX friendly as possible.

How do I setup sitemaps for an international website?
Hi Niners, I wouldn't use subdomains for international website. Instead I'd use subfolders. Subdomains can be considered as totally separate websites, while using subfolders you "gather" the link juice in a more efficient way. But that is a personal opinion. Regarding your question: I'd create a profile in Google Webmasters Tools for each of the subdomains/subfolders Do not forget the international targeting for each of the profiles I would submit to each of these profiles it's own language based sitemap if you are talking about an international website, I'd consider using Hreflang markup. I hope this has helped. Gr., Keszi

Does anyone have any experience with DakWak?
We are excited at the prospect of being able to put up multiple languages, at both the cost and effort level that your company describes. But a couple of specific concerns that we need addressed before we could try the service is the potential for incurring Google penalties for both duplicated content and auto-generated content. Can you provide some detailed insight as to how your service has addressed those issues?

Why would a domain show up in Webmaster Tools but not latest links?
We have never done anything blackhat or spammy, but over time we have just acquired crappy links. We had a traffic drop when the first penguin was rolled out so we thought cleaning up some of the old crap would be a good idea.

Is it worth putting images in your sitemap?
Hi, If you have a lot of images and you need to speed up the indexing process then yes, it's worth adding an image xml sitemap. It also helps with the " image index managmenet" of those files. More on: https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/178636?hl=en Beside this though - there is no advantage - I mean you won't get any rankings boosts or anything like that. Cheers.

How to switch to HTTPs in Bing?
Long as you have the 301 redirects set up properly, you should be good. Bing webmaster tools has it's own "Site Move" feature but I'm not sure you need to use it.

How do I get rid of my errors for Schema.org?
I did exactly what you said but now I am running into this posted above- Yeah, Google Webmaster Tools is where I found the errors. When I implemented Schema it showed me with about 35,000 items, and about 9000 errors. I came in today and now my errors are almost gone, down to 600 but my total items dropped to 1600. I checked to see if any other code was removed and it wasn't, and ran the Bing Webmaster Tools Validator and it shows everything is correct. Why that drop?

Should I disallow links from m.biz?
We have seen these domains in audits that we have done as well. However we are also finding hundreds of spin offs of this - examples seekstone.cn and chinastonecompany.com. Like you we have been disavowing them but it would be great if somehow Google could flag up that they are aware of these domains and we don't need to worry about them.
