Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Sam My bad! I thought I had updated it, but no, I hadn't! Thanks very much. Neil

Hi. Got the same problem right now. Received email today about successfull crawl, clicked on the link, found this on the dashboard (see image). Have reconnected account multiple times. 809jnCG

Cheers Jon, thanks for the update.

Thanks for the answer, much appreciated.

Thanks Tim, great shout. Just checked and you were right. Bit slap on the wrists all round. Thanks again!

Thanks

Sorry I can't give you a direct answer. I would suggest running a test. Upload a new one to see if it overwrites old date. The maybe go on to a small group to see how that works. If everything looks good... upload away!

I agree that the answer lies in how many people take it up. I think that one of the biggest deciding factors is going to be how easy the most popular CMS's make integrating this. If WordPress can get this done natively, for instance, a way to write a post and, via dropdown, select what type of data each line/paragraph is? I think that'd be huge, and it would explode. Personally, I've always been interested in getting Google's rich snippets to appear. I think it can have a huge influence on clickthroughs. And, I think that schema.org indicates that such content will become more and more commonplace. I've managed to get it to happen for one site, which had the majority of its content focused on recipes. We definitely saw an uptick in traffic without a ranking change. I'll be continuing to keep my eye on it, at first glance it seems like a huge task. In the end, I think it will definitely be something that we add into our work. The big search engine's partnering on this is too hard to ignore.

My honest advice? Use the traffic esti,ator only as a guideline. Google KW tool is FUBAR in many instances - for example, one search term it promises 10,000 searches a month, which I rank 1 for, only gets a portion of that if I look at the impressions i webmaster tools (another stupid tool) and only a fraction of the traffic you would expect, nowhere near if the data was correct.

Hi Neil, Your URL structure is affecting Google News. There is information here about the URL structure requirements, which can be waived if you use a Google News sitemap. http://www.google.com/support/news_pub/bin/answer.py?answer=151309. I don't know of any way to see the number of pages indexed historically, unfortunately.
