What are your SEO resolutions for 2016?
I actually have tons of goals set for 2016, I will update a post regarding that on my blog tomorrow (I am sure not many will be interested in that but it’s a good performance tracking indicator for me). But above all the most important thing I have to do in 2016 is action. There are so many things I know I can do but obviously people will only believe when they see you doing that. So, this year I will talk to people with my actions.

Using Schema.org: Product or Event as the schema type?
The purpose behind 'the schema' is to help search engines better match semantic search terms with relevant user information. Word out there is that is doesn't help in the SERPs. See this article. But it might and Google may have integrated it into their algo yesterday for all we know. With it being relatively new in the search landscape and little evidence of testing out there, I'd recommend that you donate some time to the cause It just so happens that you'll likely get your answer from doing so. Here's how I'd do it: 1. Choose the pages you'll be measuring... the more you use, the better the data... 2. Measure where these pages rank in your search results before making any changes. 3.. Divide those pages into thirds and apply the 'Events' schema to a third, the 'Aggregate Rating' to a third, and apply nothing to the remaining third. 4. Track and report your findings. Obviously, there are some potential hang-ups here (ie. if you aren't ranking in the top 50 for your target keywords and are using SEOMoz to track). After rubbing my magic 8-ball, I'm going to prophesize that you won't see a significant difference for a few reasons (or any at all). Finally, I'd suggest that you persuade the engines to focus on the aggregate review information. If you look around, you'll notice that reviews are being increasingly integrated as major indicators in search algos. Events? Not so much. There are many issues at hand, but you get to decide which are important and which you're going to act on. Either way, good luck!
