Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Catalyste,

Yes, this is something that I will need to implement. With that, I also wanted to ask you, if we fore-go implementing 'rich snippets' and 'authorship' fields in the BETA is that going to create more problems for development down the line?

More specifically, if we decide to hold off implementing authorship/rich snippets until we launch the actual production site for visitors/customers, will this create more problems than just implementing this stuff now?

Likewise, are there any additional suggestions you'd make for a news organization's site?

I am in the process of transitioning sites to a Drupal CMS and am curious to know what META information to provide on each of the new site pages. Currently, this is the set-up I plan on using:

My questions to the community are:

1. whether or not I've added all pertinent information, and
2. if there's anything I'm overlooking

The social network is targeted towards business professionals and companies.

I'm currently in the process of building a social media site and was deciding whether or not to add META descriptions/keywords for individual user profiles.

After reviewing Facebook, I noticed that in the META Description field, user profile pages just inherited the values for Facebook (there were no META keywords); and, when I reviewed LinkedIn, there was no META description/keywords at all.

After this investigation, I figured it might be a question best addressed to the SEO community. With that, what do you guys think?

If you were building a social media site, would you have META description + META keywords for each user's profile? If so, what would be the best way to optimize the individual profiles so they rank highly within the search engines?

You can create a formal request to Google using Webmaster Tools and tell them the URLs or list of URLs that you'd like removed from the index. Whether or not they actually remove them is a completely different story.
