Best practice for Spanish version of English website?
Hi Eva, your case is quite similar to the Belgium one described in a answer here above. Said that I did not see anyone pointing you to some important thing that you're maybe forgetting to do. Your site is a .com, a generic domain name. Generic domain names target the world by default, and that is why you have a lot of visit from Mexico for your Spanish version of the site. Therefore, what I'd suggest you to do this check: Go to Google Webmaster Tools; Go to: Search Traffic > International Targeting Click on the "Country" tab Control if the site is targeting the USA. If not, target users in United States. Doing that, you are telling Google that your site is meant for users in the United States and not in others countries, so it won't have that much visibility in regional Googles like google.com.mx. Then, as suggested by others here, implement the hreflang annotations (read the resources linked in the other answers). In the specific case of the home pages (yes, both: English version and Spanish version), the annotation will be these: These hreflang are telling Google: This URL must be presented to all people using Spanish in the USA; This other URL must be presented to all people using English in the USA.

Rich snippet star ratings appearing and disappearing
Hi Irving, I did resolve the issue by updating our schema tags, right after I posted it here in SEOmoz. But just this week they disappeared again. We haven't made any changes either, so now I'm back to fishing in the dark and getting more gray hair than i deserve. We should start a support group, don't you think?
