Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hello,

I have recently included my client's site in a number of trusted local directories; however, when I do a link analysis, it says there are no external links? How can this be? Thanks so much in advance for your help!

Hi Dan,

I've actually tried the free version of Raven's Schema Markup quite some time ago, and couldn't find the functionality for "article". Are you referring to a paid version?

Thanks!

Hello,

I am having problems with marking up my WP posts. I used the All-in-One which seems to be the most user-friendly, except when I denote the aspects of the "article" and update, the markup shows up as a box at the bottom of the post (even though the info is in the text). How do I mark these up for Google without having the unseemly box at the bottom? Thanks so much in advance for any help! Btw, I am not altogether comfortable just yet on manual schematic markup (if you have a really basic manual markup that will let me do so across various platforms, I would also appreciate the recommendation).

Thanks!

There are approximately 20 clients that we have that all show a drop in traffic in GA this month (anywhere from 5-25%). any idea what could have happened? How to fix?

Thanks so much,

Hello,

I am currently a SEO and am looking for an Intro to programming/coding course to help me implement various technical SEO tasks for my clients and the business-as the programming dept will not help me, as they do not see the value of SEO. Could someone pls recommend an online course that would introduce me to basic concepts and also specifically, the information that would help me to enhance our SEO? I would also like to better understand APIs.

Thanks so much in advance for your help!

thanks so much!

Thanks Umar! I am trying to markup a b2b for product markup, but keep stumbling on the price quantifier. How should I address this as it is required? Also, if something is listed as an error, does that mean the entire structured data won't be presented to Google? Thanks so much for your help!

Hello,

I am relatively new to all the different kinds of schema one can use to mark up a site, but not all of the structured data I entered in showing up in the structured data testing tool? Does that mean that Google can't see it either?

Thanks so much in advance for your help!

thanks so much everyone!

Thank you so much for your response. You are absolutely right, and I think I knew it all the time. I just had hoped that I had missed something in my research. I actually just read the Larry Kim article this morning. This was a very well-thought-out response-that didn't just have an answer; but an action to take, which I am ever so grateful for. Thanks!

yes accurate rankings, as all the different top tools are showing different positions.

Hello,

While I am aware that Google rankings are subject to a number of variables, I still need to be able to provide the most accurate rankings data for my clients in their reports. Most recently, I have been using the Google Adwords Planner and modifying by location and/or device. Now, having found discrepancy in the MOZ rankings, I started trying to again find the most accurate tools or software. Could someone please suggest the most accurate tool, and also how the accurate rankings are achieved? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!

Thanks

sorry but now I am being told that we cannot implement the alternate to canonical because we have a default header with no page delineation for (it pulls from somewhere else). as I am an seo and not a programmer, I at a loss as to implement this. Thoughts?

Thanks so much Dirk. Your have been extremely helpful!

Hi Dirk,

Our mobile site is a lot smaller than our desktop version, so where there was a relationship, we employed the 1:1; but if the mobile did not have the correlating page, we did redirect to the homepage. I'm not sure we have the time to create a page in mobile for all of our desktop pages. That being said, what is our next step?

Thanks

Hi Dirk,

Thanks for your quick response! We don't have the canonical: alternate on each page; however, in the "lib/functions" file, I manually entered the relationship between the mobile version url and the desktop version url; and defaulted all others to the homepage. Shouldn't this work the same? If not, how to I best approach this in Dreamweaver? Thanks again!!!!

Hello,

Our mobile site redirects to desktop in a desktop browser and vice versa; however, they are different sites. This said, shouldn't the backlinks for our mobile site be the same as for our desktop site since one redirects to the other. We show no backlinks in my analysis? Any help or insight would be extremely appreciated!

Thank you!

Hello,

I am also having this issue with hundreds of dummy urls that never existed as a part of our website's blog. Do I go into parameters and specify each of the dummy urls to avoid this?

Thanks in advance for any help!!!! (and sorry to piggyback this question Theodore-hope you don't mind!)

Awesome-thanks so much Ryan!

Hello,

A number of our clients have both m.website.com and website.com versions of their site. Per the latest update coming in April from Google, do I need to make sure all clients with just a desktop version are mobile-friendly (according to WT). Also, do I need to make both versions for those clients that have both m.website.com and website.com mobile-friendly or just the m.website.com?

Thank you!!!!
