Welcome to the Q&A Forum

You can't -- but the better question is why does it matter/is it important to you?

Possibly, but they might be shady. I just went to that casea.org site, and yes, it looks rather spammy. I'd just request to have all pages taken off, and take a screenshot of your email. You then can submit to google for reconsideration -- if they see you making an attempt they can remove you from their block.

Also, you might want to verify your sitemap + robots files are working correctly...the robots went to a compressed file which then just simply didn't work. The sitemap.xml file wasn't found so it just redirected back to the home page.

Lastly, If you do a site:longworthdental.ca search within google, you'll see that your site actually is being indexed by Google (67 pages). If you were panda/penguin slapped, it is my understanding no results would show. You might have just lost rankings on the keywords you were searching for.

I don't think you'll ever have "100%" of backlinks as every tool crawls different pieces of information.  Also, those numbers don't seem too crazy -- did you actually get a notification from GWT or just trying to be proactive?

Any reputable SEO company wouldn't do this. Becoming #1 takes time and effort...if it doesn't take much effort from your perspective why not just do it yourself?

Someone who might take this challenge up will most likely linkspam your site all over the place and possibly get you dinged or removed in a few short months from a SE's index.

There is no such thing as a free lunch.

Sure, check out my site, cappex.com. We have reviews and ratings on many colleges within the US - many of them showing the review schema in the SERPS. For example - type in "cappex depaul university", or "cappex SUNY fredonia reviews" and you'll see what I mean.

No penalties on our end, and no limitation to just put it on the HP (In fact I've never heard about the markup only on the homepage...sounds a bit funky to me if you are reviewing a whole bunch of things...).

If we decide to use custom web fonts - using CSS + linked .ttf files - will there be any sort of issue in terms of being looked down upon by SE's?

I realize there would be a slight increase in download time - but other than that has anyone experienced any negative effects?

Well that's interesting - I see the code for the tags - it's coming out of this class:

id="subgenre-tags-raw" style="display:none">

I also see that you have a meta description - this is a stumper!

Why not head over to the google webmaster forum and reach out! I'd be very interested to see what they say!

You might want to revisit the coding of this page....it looks like you could probably reduce alot of these images  with a bit of CSS magic.

Anyways, if you are going to keep the same code  - I wouldn't worry about an alt tag on the images that are part of the design. Only add an ALT tag to elements that have any sort of value. If you start filling up the alt text with "free bets uk" it's going to be flagged as stuffing.

Do you have an example of this?

From what I can gather it sounds like a php execution problem if markup isn't being generated...a function isn't being called correctly.

Also, meta descriptions aren't by default very useful in WP. I've had to modify themes to use custom meta descriptions on the homepage, categories, and tag pages.

As far as I know the SE's will still index the content - and its up to "their discretion" whether or not to use a canonical.

As far as I know, there is not a way to do this. It's also kind of really strange they won't open up the template to be altered. Could you ask them for access  - or just provide them the code to use?

Even if there WAS a way to use rel=canconical in a nonstandard way - I don't think you would want to do that - as it may not be supported across all engines.
