Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi,

Generally if its good for the user in most cases, its good for the search engines, and SEO. However this is a technical issue as well, but there is great material on this, including:

Hope this helps!

Hi Rodney,

1. This is up to Google, it is open about some categories such as web design; however most results are up to Google, and it can vary for different people and different locations viewing.  This brings me to my main response:

2. Best is to rank for local results and organic results (general search as I assume you are referring to). This way you give Google two options to serve your amazing page, as Google feels best fit

Hope this helps!

Hi Ricky,

Facebook at times asks people to review, especially if its just a star rating from a user it just takes 1 click. With this understanding its very likely actually.

Hi Edmond,

Matt Cutts from Google, has great SEO tips for moving CMS platforms in this video.

If you are looking for a more technical help this resource and this should help.

Hope this helps!

PS: But like Andy, I am really curious, why you are choosing to move from WP to Joomla, in most cases WP is superior to Joomla, and that has much to do with the community behind Wordpress.

Ken is on the spot, if the reviewers just click the start rating when they are prompted for a review. The start rating will show up with no review displayed, however if a person leaves an actual text review along side the star rating. The reviews will show up in the top right just like Ken attached!

Hope this helps!

I know this is an old thread, but I just wanted to respond and say I would choose a local blended result vs organic listing. It would seem that it is easier to hold on to local listings, as organic listings are more prone to change and movement in the SERPS. I feel I can generally count on local listings to rank vs organic listings.

Hi Amy,

Not sure if this is a publicly revealed info. Here is a relevant discussion on the subject with possible alternative metrics.

Hope this helps

Great suggestions Everett: "If you're curious how much of the page they are rendering just looked at the cached version of the page from the search results."

Hi Michael

This video is going viral: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oVfHeWTKjag

It "should" be time before Facebook comes out and gives you so option to mass remove likes. I would since this is all just coming to the surface. Wait a bit and see if Facebook comes out with:

1. A mass removal tool

2. Takes care of it itself

3. Or doesn't do anything, at that point maybe its worth starting over, but then again what good is it if these spammers find your page and spam again?

Hope this helps!

Totally agree with Moosa's suggestion, even for just one reason:

It looks spammy and is associated with spammers, this is one of those things that can make or break website conversion.

Hi Blair,

PHONE

I usually bundle the phone verification in to one call to the client, and handle them at once. It usually doesn't take too long.

EMAIL

When I can, I create a separate gmail account (gmail has many benefits esp with citations) with businessname@gmail.com This email is the email that I then use to verify all the citations. This also helps with the spam that comes from many of the local citation services for the client, who does not have to use his/her main email.

ALT

There are services like YEXT, many of us prefer the manual approach to building and maintaining citations to YEXT, yet others link yext because there is no phone or postcard verification for the directories. But it is a paid service.

Hope this helps!

Hi Graeme,

Video sitemap generators generally come separate, so if you are looking for a standalone video sitemap generator, here are some options.

Hi,

Not provided from Google is the "other" category in Moz analytics

Great to know! Thanks Dr. Pete

Maybe not in ranking per se. But if you are signed in as you search, and your google plus profile happened to somehow interacted or be connected-with the person (especially if he is really a well known and well connected ie a lot of people have circled him/her on G+); for those signed in users the article might have showed up on the first page (lets say) and with no authorship or someone else might not even show up.

With this in mind I would keep the author that has the most influences or people that have circled him, or that has the most activity on his/her Google+ network.

Again Google is saying one thing, but with the move of making the search more social this is not unlikely. This also in Google's eyes may not be a pure "ranking" process but more related to "displaying relevant info" from your friends on the G+ network.

Just some thoughts

Hi Samantha,

It was posted on a Google forum Feb 2nd of some users experiencing this

Picked up by SERoundtable on the 6th, and then by others.

However, I haven't seen anything but this instance of it. It might be rolled out to other areas possibly.

Hope this helps

Hi Tyler,

This should do it. If you don't do this facebook will scan all the pics and give a user an option to choose out of the scanned images. If the above is used once it will give one default image to be selected. You can use multiple og:image tags to allow the user to chose multiple default images that you have selected.

Hope this helps!
