Is there something wrong with the code? Can't make the "stars" to appear in the search.
Testing tool shows that everything is OK.

Contraire mon frere! You can have the content appear to visitors above the fold but have the content of the code appear far down the page using CSS content folding. That's definitely worth a read! Search for articles on that and you'll see what I mean.

Thanks for the tips. These are great!
I am new to the company who runs this website. We are working hard on "above the fold" but old contracts do not allow to remove some ads right now. So we have to wait.

Well after taking a quick peek, it seems you are a directory. You should really read up on how Google treats directories, especially when it comes to SEO. I say this because after 10 random clicks on your site, I never got to a page with any content. All links, so that is very likely hurting you. Something else is the ads on your site above the fold without any content. There was big news about that late last year.
Looks like you could add quite a bit on the structure data side of things, like for people, events, companies, etc. Also, take your text out of your images and publish it in HTML so Google can read it.
-
Looks like you're using mcroformat, opengraph, and microdata. Google promotes Schema.org so you should use that.
Also, get a Google+ account and establish authorship, then include that, too.

I'm like 99% sure that it is relevant.
You can rate the company.... You think that reviews should help? But no one is reviewing here it's just a simple vote form.
-
I don't remember the exact wording but I have seen errors on some of my pages in the past that the rich snippets won't show because the content in the snippet is not relevant to the content on the page. Something like that.
What should be showing that's not there?
-
Your snippets are showing fine, but you should mark up your reviews section. Also best not to mix schemas.
Can you comment more about this? Should we give up on any schema?
-
I know that testing tool shows OK. But we never get that in Google, while our "enemies" get it fine. (Two months past... )

Use the Google Rich Snippet Testing tool http://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/richsnippets

Homepage appearing instead of subpage
Hi, I have my homepage which has links saying "bike tours and bike tours in France" because in the past I was only doing bike tours in France. I now do tours all over Europe and I have a page about "bike tours in Franc" only. The issue I have is that my page about "bike tours in France" never appears in the search ranking it is always my homepage that does for tjhe keyword "bike tours in France". My guess is that it is due to the links that my homepage has ? How could I make sure my France page appears instead of my homepage ? Thank you,

Worth Modifying Code to Have Text Appear Near Top
Our site uses Wordpress. The code is somewhat heavy. The text to code ratio for the home page is only 16%. Our developer suggests that we modify the code so that the important text appears at the top of the page (without changing the design) so that Google can index it more easily. My developer feels this would be more beneficial for SEO. He believes that reducing the code would create HTML errors. The home page is www.nyc-officespace-leader.com Is this approach sound? My developer describes it in the following manner: | Let me say that I don’t believe the text to code ratio has a significant impact on SEO per se but of course that reducing code, it will reduce page weight therefore it may help to improve ranking. See Homepage for example, this is the top landing page of your site, therefore it is very relevant to optimize. You can see the first block, from attached it has very little content and too many code. There is almost nothing to do about it, visually that is a very good block, in terms of SEO it isn't. I do not recommend to take it off just for SEO, that will make all pages with lot of text, lack of images and people may go away. On the other hand, most of the cases we want to improve text code ratio, there is an impact on unexpected BUGs because the code is being changed and this may affect functionality. I would suggest to spend time on improve the sort-order of the important content inside the code, so we may have similar text code ratio at the end but the important code we need Google to index will be at the very top in the source code, in terms of a very technical approach Google will find the key content faster and that should help to improve the crawling process as search engines read HTML code linearly. This change do not necessarily will affect the HTML, we can achieve it by using style sheet (CSS code) instead, reducing the chance of major BUGs. Either is our choice, we need to evaluate potential problems, code issues and content impact and also we need to apply changes and wait at least 3-4 weeks to start seeing results. It is a long task. Let me know your thought about this, we will estimate a task to improve code without affect web design |

URL Injection Hack - What to do with spammy URLs that keep appearing in Google's index?
A website was hacked (URL injection) but the malicious code has been cleaned up and removed from all pages. However, whenever we run a site:domain.com in Google, we keep finding more spammy URLs from the hack. They all lead to a 404 error page since the hack was cleaned up in the code. We have been using the Google WMT Remove URLs tool to have these spammy URLs removed from Google's index but new URLs keep appearing every day. We looked at the cache dates on these URLs and they are vary in dates but none are recent and most are from a month ago when the initial hack occurred. My question is...should we continue to check the index every day and keep submitting these URLs to be removed manually? Or since they all lead to a 404 page will Google eventually remove these spammy URLs from the index automatically? Thanks in advance Moz community for your feedback.

Blog snippets on homepage a potential detriment to rankings?
Hey guys, I realize similar topics have surfaced before, but mainly related to duplicate content penalties, which is not my concern in this case. My client is parsing blog snippets to the home page; actually 3 large snippets consisting of of approximately 200 words each. They create at least one fresh blog post per month pertaining to the specific industry. I realize this practice has widely embraced to satisfy the "freshness factor" but I am concerned it could be hindering the ability for the home page to rank for our two targeted phrases. It would seem that by continually rotating the blog snippets which contain content related to the industry, but not necessarily relevant to the home page's targeted key phrases - combined with the fact that the home page has very slim static content - the bots are attempting to assign new taxonomies of information on a monthly basis. My thoughts are to create a decent block of static content highly-relevant to the home page's target phrases, while reducing the amount of info. contained in the blog snippets, to perhaps only a headline and date. Comments and suggestions would be appreciated.

Why Are Rich Snippet Stars Red On Google?
I'm using RDFa rich snippets markup on my site and on Google's Structured Data Testing Tool the 5 stars come up in yellow in my listing. On the web today I checked on indexing progress and the stars are 'red' in the listings - any idea why this might be? Is Google switching them over universally or is it something else?

Convert keyword rich PDFs to web pages (text & images)
SteriPEN is a portable water purifier that kills viruses, protozoa, e-coli, etc. Because of the technical and safety requirements nature of the product, our website has much documentation of testing, organisms affected, and more. These are in pdf form and can often be found through google search (and through links on specific pages). Because of the keyword-richness of these documents pertaining to microbes SteriPEN kills, etc. does it make sense to convert these pdf's into html text and images? Then I was thinking perhaps writing a blog post AND generating key links on important landing pages to these documents (as html). Removing pdfs may be harmful? Not a clue as to the cost/benefit.
