Authorship Not Displaying
-
I've been reading through a ton of articles on Google Authorship on Moz as well as a variety of other sites but still haven't solved my issue.
I set up authorship a while ago and it stopped working after a very short time. It came back and again stopped working. I use Yoast for the tags.
I realize that Google drastically decreased showing authorship photos in SERP but I've never been about to get it to show no matter what I've tried aside from that brief moment of success when I originally implemented the tags.
Rich snippet tools shows all as being a ok!
Any suggestions what I might be doing wrong?

Hi there,
The authorship is based on the personal page not the business one. I suggest you get some followers (or groups) on your personal page and use that a bit. Business page is more of a rel=publisher tag.

Hi Chris/Dennis!
Thanks for the reply! I have 2796 followers on my g+ website page....I typically post my latest posts on that page. However, I'm not terribly active on my personal g+ page.
Just regular personal posting on my personal g+ page will help?
Thanks!

Would agree With Dennis,
Make sure its working alright with the testing tool other than than that there is not much you can do. Make sure you are active on Google plus with a following and you may get it back but the authorship was decreased as you noted.
Good luck.

Hi!
Are you active on google+?
If you are, with a good following, you should get your image back.
They will email you that you are now showing up as an author or something like that.
Although this doesn't apply to everyone, this has been what has worked for me.

Bing result title is displaying a competitors name
When searching "Cambridge Savings Bank" which is the specific name of a bank in Bing the search results return with them as Number one with the correct URL. The issue is Bing has titled the search result "East Cambridge Savings Bank" (which is another entity all together) and still has the correct www.cambridgesavings.com URL. So basically Bing is putting another corporation's name on our website. This issue only is in Bing. Any idea how to correct this? 2.png 1.png

How to display the full structure of website on Google serps
I have been searching around but unable to gather information as to how we can control or list top pages of a website on Google's first page , i.e. if we type seomoz in google , we can see the main listing with 6 subdomain listings , which link to Blog , Seo tool , Beginner Seo guide , Learn Seo , Pricing & Plans and login My question is can we control these listings i.e. what to display and what not , and if yes how can we make this type of visibility on first page , by using html or xml sitemaps or theirs something mostly websites are missing. Cause this type of data is coming up for very less websites and mostly websites are with single urls. c43Ki.jpg

Rel = author display issue
I want to enter some products as blog posts. I don't want users to see the post info, but do want SE's to see rel="author". I can do this by setting display to "none" in a CSS style. The post info does not appear in the browser but is still in the page source. Will search engines be able to see the post info?

Using a table with tabs to display information on website, work for seo?
When displaying data using a table, and a tab format to seperate different options, for example http://www.mousetraining.co.uk/ms-training/microsoft-excel-training-courses.html - under Standard Excel Training Course Levels / Training Details / Locations / Schedule - at the bottom of the page. Would search engines pick up the keywords from each of the tabs, or are they hidden?? Thanks
