Breadcrumbs in SERPs
-
Hi there,
Breadcrumbs now showing for my websites in Google.co.uk & Google.ie
I have 2 websites .co.uk & .ie both having the same content. There are legalities for having 2 separate domains. Anyway...
When I click on one of the breadcrumbs in the SERPs in Google.ie it takes me to the .co.uk website, however the title for that result takes me to the .ie website as it should.
I have checked my breadcrumbs on the .ie website and all is fine, however in SERPs it takes me to the .co.uk website, any ideas why this maybe?
Kind Regards

Sorry Robert, that site was just an example.
If you click here
We should be listed no.2 for hot flushes
Domain is avogel

Here is what the domain is that is resolving:
http://www.nhs.uk/Conditions/Menopause/Pages/Selfhelp.aspx
I was looking to see if your nhs.ie was anywhere on the serps by looking at the actual links in the query code. I have yet to find an occurrence of the - .ie.
So, if you have both and one is for UK and one for Ireland, I would assume that at some point based on what you are saying I would see a url like above, but:
http://www.nhs.ie/Conditions/Menopause/Pages/Selfhelp.aspx

Hi Robert,
What website are you looking for?
-
Gary,
Yes, a canonical pointing to the .co.uk from the .ie is going to resolve as .co.uk. I have gone from every portion of the SERP listing on both (Google.ie, Google.uk). Whether on the title above the url or the sitelinks ALL resolve to .uk.
Also, on the pages I checked, there is no rel=canon for the .uk site you have.
I have yet to see in the SERPS any .ie page you have. So, are you sure both are ranking?

Hi Robert,
Sorry, I am totally lost on what you trying to explain.
The issue is not the way these sitelinks or breadcrumbs look. If I am searching in Google.ie for a particular keyword which my .ie website ranks for, in the actual results it shows breadcrumbs which is great as it may improve CTR, anyway when I click on one of the breadcrumbs in takes me to the .co.uk website, however if I actually click on the title of the result it takes me to the .ie website as expected.
One thing I mentioned is that I am using a canonical tag on the .ie website pointing to the .co.uk website, maybe this is doing something? One thing I noticed is that if I looked at a cached version of the .ie website in Google.ie it shows the .co.uk website.
Hope the above helps

Wow, that's actually kinda cool the way it renders, but I am going to say it is site links. First, I am on a MacBook Pro with 1920 X 1200 res. and was using Chrome latest when I hit the link you provided. I have attached the Chrome Screen Shot and then a Firefox Screen Shot.
If you look in Firefox you see the same thing resolving as Site Links more clearly. So, then i did search in Google.uk and Google.ie and used the same search menopause choices nhs.
Each time I got the .uk site. And, each time it was the .uk site that was in the serps. Always resolved to same.
If you look at the third image which is US non personalized search, you will see the first four results have sitelinks like you are seeing in Chrome.
Hope this clarifies.

Hi Alice,
Yes, both websites are geo-targeted.
What I can say is recently we added a canonical tag to the .ie website pointing to the .co.uk website as I belief it was having a negative impact on our ranking for the .co.uk website in Google.co.uk, so maybe the canonical tag has some sort of influence on these breadcrumbs?
When I look at the cached version Google has made in Google.ie of the .ie website, it shows the .co.uk version of the website, is this normal?
-
Hi Gary, I'm sorry I haven't come across that before but have you geo-targetted the sites through Webmaster? http://support.google.com/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=62399

Gary,
When you say breadcrumbs, are you meaning site links? That when you click on one of the sitelinks it takes you to the wrong site?

Does Google frown on using 3 different page titles with same content to secure the top 3 results in SERPs?
Is it frowned upon by Google to create 3 different pages with the sames content yet different titles to secure the top three results in SERPs? For example: Luxury Care Homes in Liverpool Care Homes in Liverpool Private Care Homes in Liverpool The page titles are different with slightly different meta data but the user content is exactly the same, would this be considered a cheeky win or negative to rankings?

Images not appearing in Google Images SERPS
Hi there We pushed a new version of our website live more than 6 months ago. So far, none of the images that are in the product gallery on this page http://www.ingleandrhode.co.uk/bespoke-rings/inspiration/ are appearing in the Google Images SERPS (I tested this by searching Google Images for "site:www.ingleandrhode.co.uk"). I understand that the gallery uses Javascript, so Googlebot doesn't see the image files in the HTML, but in Webmaster Tools, if I "fetch as Google" with rendering, this suggests that Googlebot does see the gallery images. My website developer tried adding an image sitemap about two weeks ago, which is being indexed, but so far this hasn't made any difference. Any suggestions on what needs to be done for these gallery images to start appearing in Google Images SERPS? Many thanks!

Switched to HTTPS, now Google ALWAYS changes Page Title & Meta in SERPs
Wordpress website using Yoast. Website switched over from HTTP to HTTPS successfully about 6 months ago. Noticed after the fact that Google almost never displays the Page Title or Meta Description I've created in Yoast. Yoast is the only SEO plug-in enabled. Yoast is set to Force Rewrite the Page TItles. The Page titles & Meta Descriptions are always within the character limit. They also contain either an exact or partial match the queries in which Google shows a different Page Title & Meta Description. For some Queries, Google will display the URL as the Page Title for certain queries. Concrete example, search for: public administration jobs Screenshot of results attached. First time working with HTTPS. The redirects appear to be have done correctly. I'm not sure what the issue is. uOnFjNt

Is Video Sharing sites is still useful for SERP ?
Well I am not talking about the audience views, i am asking whether it is good for submitting videos to multiple video sites for backlinks and any sharp movements for the keywords. I seen most of the sites are nofollow which is not useful but for the link diversification is that something good ?

Are breadcrumbs any good and Should I insert links on the Item descriptions and specs?
Hi All, In my e-commerce site in each product page I have the breadcrumbs on top which show the root categories that lead to this product. However, I saw once that Google even if you use several anchors from page A to page B Google treats only/mainly the first anchor. This means that inserting contextual links on the product text, the product description, that leads to the category page (which is an important landing page) is irrelevant/ambiguous since the link is already in the breadcrumb on top. What do you think? Should I insert contextual links on the item description or is it worthless? Thanks
