Using the right Schema.org - & is there a penalty in using the wrong one?
-
Hi
We have a set of reviewed products (in this case restaurants) that total an average rating of 4.0/5.0 from 800 odd reviews.
We know to use schema/restaurant for individual restaurants we promote but what about for a list of cities, say restaurants in boston for example. For the product page containing all of Boston restaurants -
should we use schema.org/restaurant (but its not 1 physical restaurant)
or schema.org - product + agg review score?
What do you do for your product listing pages?
If we get it wrong, is there a penalty? Or this just simply up to us?

Simply google will not use the rich snippets, don't think it will get penalised.
You can test here:
http://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/richsnippets
If you works there it should work in the serps.
We finally got our schema done a few weeks ago, and with in a few days google was using them on our more popular pages. I don't think schema/rich snippets, effects you rankings, just makes your link more attractive/clickable for the user.

Should Schema.org Tags go on every page?
Happy Monday Moz World! I am just wondering what are some best practices when using Schema.org Tags. For Example, I have a client who provides multiple services and provides unique content on each webpage. The design of each of the webpagesare unique, and conveys information differently. My question is: If each page of a company's website has unique content that describes a service or product, could I essentially change the url & description of the Schema Tag so that each of my pages are indexable by relationship to that page's content? Thanks ahead of time for the great responses! B/R Will

Phone: NUMBER I've tried to put it inside the head, body & footer of the HTML code. I want my website to show up properly through Google Structured Data Testing Tool however, I don't want the text to show up on my website not stylized. It sticks out like a soar thumb no matter where I incorporate it. My questions are; Should I even bother with Schema.org? And, is there a way to incorporate it into my website so it does not show up and Google can still pull it up? Thanks ahead of time for all of the awesome responses! B/R Will H.0 -

Using a 302 instead of a 301
I am trying to figure out the best way to garner the most amount of link value. We have an app that lives on a sub-domain ... For the purposes of this question, let's call it app.mydomain.com. We provide a service with this app that requires clients (with very high ranking websites) to link into app located on the sub-domain. Would I garner more authority if had the high ranking client website link into a url that wasn't a sub-domain and redirect it using a 302? For example: What if I created a 302 that was www.mydomain.com/app and have it redirected to the sub-domain version of app.mydomain.com? Additionally am I correct to assume that a 301 would merely pass that value to the sub domain and NOT provide much value to the root?
