Is my schema implemented correctly and not spammy?
-
i already used the validation tool from Google. It tell's me it's implemented, but i would like to know specifically if everything is implemented correctly and in a non spam way.
Here is a product link to test: http://www.suddora.com/pink-sweatbands-wholesale-pink-wristbands.html

People ask similar questions regularly. I just saw you had no answer and wanted to be sure someone had given it a shot for you.
I would suggest go to Schema.org and to GWT and read the info there. By using the tool you confirmed that it was correct. What you don't want to do is corrupt what the intention is by adding in your url, etc. Keep the item property what it is and keep it simple. Remember its semantic web for a reason.
Hope it helps, -
I posted this 2 days ago and I understand this is (kind of) new idea so i don't expect everyone to jump on it, I admit it's hilarious that i put bump! haha.
I just want to make sure our dev did it correctly, as he is not SEO saavy. I'm pretty sure he did but just using the community to verify...

Bump doesn't work here, as there's no user-facing way to see most recent responses. Also, four hours isn't a long time at all to go without a response on the Q&A forums.

Thanks for finding that broken link! We donate and work directly with Susan G Komen We do this mostly on our other website Custom On It, for custom promotional items.
Anything you can find would be great for Schema. We have it implemented but just not sure if it is correct.

Not sure what bump is? I am older so...you know how we are not quite as UTD.
Edit: Had to know so went and checked it out. You can tell I do not spend a lot of times on general or other forums. My guess it the tactic won't work on this one (These guys are fairly sharp at moz.) But, best of luck.
Of course I am assuming you mean to 'bump' this to top of Q&A for some reason. Frankly, if you use the tools on moz you will see that the links are no followed from here. If this was not what you meant/intended, my apologies, LMK.

Paul,
I have one question I have kicked to our head of Dev and will answer the Schema question with his answer to me. On the whole it looks ok. However, here is your content:
Pink sweatbands are great for sporting events. These wholesale pink wristbands work to prevent sweat from affecting your game. They also have a very stylish look to them and are comfortable to wear. Some organization use pink sweatbands to support breast cancer awareness during sports games or events. You really can't go wrong with these pink sweat wristbands.
When I look at this it appears not "Spammy," but misleading. First your link re breast cancer awareness is a 404. I have no idea given that this is the month for breast cancer awareness how long it has been as such. But it looks as if you might in some way be doing something to support breast cancer awareness. Are you? Or, are you simply selling pink wristbands with and without the ribbon?
My suggestion is this: If you are not in any way contributing to the American Cancer Society or another organization tied to providing solace, research, or information to women and their families regarding breast cancer, you should so state that you are not. If you are, you should state plainly who the contributions go to and what amount per sale goes to them.
As a Registered Nurse who has seen too much, I will tell you this, if you agree to donate all proceeds above the actual cost of the bracelets or shipping to the American Cancer Society, my agency, upon receipt of a copy of your cancelled check (or other instrument) will match your donation (it must be at least $100) up to $500. Along with that, I will personally look over your site and will give you a written set of tips to improve your site and will provide up to one hour of phone consultation to you as well.
Best,
Robert

Spammy page with canonical reference to my website
A potentially spammy website http://www.rofof.com/ has included a rel canonical tag pointing to my website. They've included the tag on thousands of pages on their website. Furthermore http://www.rofof.com/ appears to have backlinks from thousands of other low-value domains For example www.kazamiza.com/vb/kazamiza242122/, along with thousands of other pages on thousands of other domains all link to pages on rofof.com, and the pages they link to on rofof.com are all canonicalized to a page on my site. If Google does respect the canonical tag on rofof.com and treats it as part of my website then the thousands of spammy links that point to rofof.com could be considered as pointing to my website. I'm trying to contact the owner of www.rofof.com hoping to have the canonical tag removed from their website. In the meantime, I've disavowed the www.rofof.com, the site that has canonical tag. Will that have any effect though? Will disavow eliminate the effect of a rel canonical tag on the disavowed domain or does it only affect links on the disavowed website? If it only affects links then should I attempt to disavow all the pages that link to rofof.com? Thanks for reading. I really appreciate any insight you folks can offer.

Help with Schema & what's considered "Spammy structured markup"
Hello all! I was wondering if someone with a good understanding of schema markup could please answer my question about the correct use so I can correct a penalty I just received. My website is using the following schema markup for our reviews and today I received this message in my search console. UGH... Manual Actions This site may not perform as well in Google results because it appears to be in violation of Google's Webmaster Guidelines. Site-wide matches Some manual actions apply to entire site <colgroup><col class="JX0GPIC-d-h"><col class="JX0GPIC-d-x"><col class="JX0GPIC-d-a"></colgroup>

| | Spammy structured markup Markup on some pages on this site appears to use techniques such as marking up content that is invisible to users, marking up irrelevant or misleading content, and/or other manipulative behavior that violates Google's Rich Snippet Quality guidelines. Learn more. | I have used the webmasters rich snippets tool but everything checks out. The only thing I could think of is my schema tag for "product." rather than using a company like tag? (https://schema.org/Corporation). We are a mortgage company so we sell a product it's called a mortgage so I assumed product would be appropriate. Could that even be the issue? I checked another site that uses a similar markup and they don't seem to have any problems in SERPS. http://www.fha.com/fha_reverse shows stars and they call their reviews "store" OR could it be that I added my reviews in my footer so that each of my pages would have a chance at displaying my stars? All our reviews are independently verified and we just would like to showcase them. I greatly appreciate the feedback and had no intentions of abusing the markup.

How do we better optimize a site to show the correct domain in organic search results for the location the user is searching in?
For example, chicago-company.com has the same content as springfield-company.com and I am searching for a general non-brand term (i.e. utility bill pay) and am located in Chicago. How can we optimize the chicago-company.com to ensure that chicago's site results are in top positions over springfields site?

Canonical and Rel=next/prev Implementation
Hi, I have an ecommerce site that allows users to view numerous pages and sort by a number of options on categories. I've read numerous posts around my issue but am still a little confused on what is best practice with regards to the canonical tag and rel=next and prev. Below is an example of the various page/sort by URL's: Paginated URL: http://www.example.co.uk/category/subcategory.html?p=3 Sort by URL: http://www.example.co.uk/category/subcategory.html?dir=desc&order=price Paginated & Sort by URL: http://www.example.co.uk/category/subcategory.html?dir=desc&order=price&p=3 It is not viable for us to use a canonical tag to the view all page as some of the categories contain a large number of products and therefore would not have the best load speeds. Is it best to use the below structure when it comes to the canonical tag and rel=next and prev? Paginated URL: http://www.example.co.uk/category/subcategory.html?p=3 Sort by URL: http://www.example.co.uk/category/subcategory.html?dir=desc&order=price Paginated & Sort by URL: http://www.example.co.uk/category/subcategory.html?dir=desc&order=price&p=3 http://www.example.co.uk/category/subcategory.html?dir=desc&order=price&p=2" /> Thanks

Should I run 302 first before implementing 301?
I just want to ask if it is necessary to run 302 redirections first before redirecting old to new URLs permanently. I heard that we should run temporary redirects first so we can check after and to avoid passing the link juice but I want to hear thoughts from experts. Do i need to test 302s for old pages that are still live or should we redirect old URLs once these pages already removed from the site?

Is bolding keywords spammy?

Schema.org Implementation: "Physician" vs. "Person"
Hey all, I'm looking to implement Schema tagging for a local business and am unsure of whether to use "Physician" or "Person" for a handful of doctors. Though "Physician" seems like it should be the obvious answer, Schema.org states that it should refer to "A doctor's office" instead of a physician. The properties used in "Physician" seem to apply to a physician's practice, and not an actual physician. Properties are sourced from the "Thing", "Place", "Organization", and "LocalBusiness" schemas, so I'm wondering if "Person" might be a more appropriate implementation since it allows for more detail (affiliations, awards, colleagues, jobTitle, memberOf), but I wanna make sure I get this right. Also, I'm wondering if the "Physician" schema allows for properties pulled from the "Person" schema, which I think would solve everything. For reference: http://schema.org/Person http://schema.org/Physician Thanks, everyone! Let me know how off-base my strategy is, and how I might be able to tidy it up.
