Microsoft IIS SEO tool claims I have no H1... It's not true.
-
I have 4300 pages that the tool claims are missing the H1 value but they are there.
Here is an example: http://antiquebanknotes.com/rare-currency/first-national-bank-atlanta-illinois-2283.aspx/
Has anyone seen this before?

HI Martijn,
I used Screaming Frog and it finds the H1. I tried moving my content around on my page putting the H1 at the very top and the IIS tool found it. Sadly I can't really do that in production but at least I know what IIS dislikes.
I suspect this is a bug in the IIS tool as it doesn't seem to bother Google. Its tragedy that the IIS tool seems to be dying on the vine.

Hi Greg! Does this response help to answer your question or are you looking for more information? If you're good to go, please mark this as answered. Thanks!

It clearly has an H1 on the page. Maybe the tool can't handle the fact that the H1 has some extra attributes. I would use any other SEO scraper like ScreamingFrog to see if they're able to find the H1 on the page. Which is probably going to be the case, if so then I wouldn't worry at all about your IIS tool not seeing the H1.

What was the Google 'update' on 31st March?
Hi all. I looked back and saw that there was an update shown in 'Search Analytics' in Webmaster Tools a few weeks before the Mobile algorithm update. Not been able to find any mention of it and what it did so thought I'd check in here. ps. Also, this is a 90 day stretch and shows that our rankings have taken a hit since the mobile algorithm update. Interesting stuff (see image below) 4rJMU9e.jpg?1

What coding works for SEO and what coding doesn't?
Hi: I recently learned about inline styles and that Google started penalizing sites for that in October. Then I was told that Wix and Flash don't work (or work well) either for SEO as the engines won't crawl them (I think). Does anyone know of a blog that goes over everything that doesn't work so that I could recognize it when I look at someone's code. Anyone know of such a resource? Cheers, Wes

How do i properly combine these two schema's from schema.org
So we're redoing our reviews/testimonials page on our website right now and moving over to the schema.org format as described here: http://schema.org/Review But we would like to combine each of our reviews with a location for which it was reviewed using this: http://schema.org/LocalBusiness What i can't wrap my head around would be the correct syntax? is it just the first block and then the next block? or is there a way of putting the actual physical address within the review page itself? So is this the correct way to do a page full of reviews that are reviewing various physical locations? * <div< span="">itemprop="reviews" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/Review"></div<>* <span< span="">itemprop="name">Value purchase</span<> -* by <span< span="">itemprop="author">Lucas</span<>,* <meta< span="">itemprop="datePublished" content="2011-03-25">March 25, 2011</meta<>* <div< span="">itemprop="reviewRating" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/Rating"></div<>* <meta< span="">itemprop="worstRating" content = "1"/></meta<>* <span< span="">itemprop="ratingValue">4</span<>/* <span< span="">itemprop="bestRating">5</span<>stars* <span< span="">itemprop="description">Great microwave for the price.
