USA appears in search snippet
-
Buongiorno from 14 degrees C very cloudy Wetherby UK,
When I type "Dartex Coatings" in Google i get a search snippet with USA in the description. See illustration: http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc53/zymurgy_bucket/usa-indescription-2_zps42296e0a.jpg I cannot see where this is comming from on site http://www.dartexcoatings.com/ . HAving checked the souce code there is no reference to USA
So my question is please..."where is Google picking up USA from"?
Grazie,
David -
Yes that was the only line i could see with a src link to USA. Thank you

Well when I look at the Dartex coatings site I can see it has no meta description, which means you are forcing Google to create their own description for the page. The page does have an image with USA in the source:
src="/Dartex/media/Dartex-usa/General/dartex-home_1.jpg?width=940&height=300&ext=.jpg" title="New Care Range" />
This has lead Google to the association with the US site:
I would put in a proper description for the page and see if Google then picks that up.

Site not showing up in Google search since move
Hi, hoping someone might help me with some answer(s) as to why our site no longer shows up in Google search results. Even when we type the full name and city into Google, the site is absent. Our Facebook page, LinkedIn and some backlinks show, but our site is missing. I can no longer find it in Google places. I'm sure I've done something wrong since moving from a static (flash-based) site to Wordpress. But the robots.txt file looks okay to me and the sitemap.xml file is present. Anyway, this is what happens when you ask a network technician handle website design... We know just enough to be dangerous! Here is the site in question: www.newfrontiertechnologies.com located in Shoreline WA. Any advice is much appreciated.

Rich-Snippets with Sitelinks. How-to?
Quick question with a hopefully easy answer (and to get away from all this Penguin 2.0 talk). Does anyone have any tips for activating Sitelinks for landing pages other than your homepage? I've attached a screenshot to better illustrate what I'm hoping to achieve, but basically I would like our SERP to have the same extra links under our meta description as the #2 result. I haven't been able to find any direct information as to how to achieve this. Is their markup code involved? Another one of those things that Google just randomly does? The keyword in questions is, "teaching jobs abroad" FYI Any factors that would point me in the right direction would be very helpful! Andrew qmK77hq

How many times should a word appear in an article?
Hi My site is maily about growing fruit and vegetables and was badly hit after the September Panda update. Each page is about one type of fruit or vegetable and discusses how to grow that particular plant. Each page targets two keyword phrases, "growing abc" and "how to grow abc" so e.g. "Growing garlic: a guide on how to grow garlic" would be the page title and then the two phrases used a couple of times on each page. However the plant, in the above example "garlic" can appear upto 30 or 40 times per page, also the phrases "how to grow" and "growing" will appear on just about every page, would these facts be hurting my overall site rankings? Many Thanks Simon

Shall Google index a search result?
Hi, I've a website with about 1000 articles.Each article has one ore more keywords / tags. So I display these keywords at the article page and put a link to the intern search engine. (Like a tag cloud) The search engine lists als articles with the same keyword and creates a result page. This result page is indexed by Google. The search result contains the title of the article, a short description (150-300 chars.) and a link to the article. So, Google believes, that there are about 5.000 pages instead of 1.000 because auf the link to the search result pages. The old rule was for me: More pages in Google = better. But is this still true nowadays? Would be a "noindex, follow" better on these search result pages? (Is there a way to tell Google that this is a search result page?) Best wishes, Georg.
