Will Schema help my website?
-
I'm doing SEO on a website, zing.co.nz, which is a soon to launch company. At the moment there is a splash sight up, which will be replaced by the real sight in a few weeks upon launch. Is it worth me putting in Schemas (for the first time) so that it is recognized as an organization? Will this effect us in the serps? Thanks for your help

This is the best guide to adding to Wikidata that I could find - http://undead-seo.blogspot.com/2014/03/create-wikidata-topic.html. I actually came here to Moz hoping I'd find something beyond that, but this seems to be the only thread on the Moz Q&A that even mentions the word "wikidata".

I found a decent guide for listing a business on Freebase.
Does anyone have anything that they can share in terms of how to use Wikidata for local SEO?
-
Adding that will help little to nothing at this point but it doesnt hurt because youll do it eventually.
When you do, make sure you do the other things like adding and verifying in google places, putting your organization in freebase/wikidata and others. Those will solidify your organizations entity online.

Well the schema for Organization is mainly marking up an address and contact details as far as I know. I wouldn't bother uploading it if its changing in 3 weeks. I assume this is the page you want to upload it to - zing.co.nz ?
You are better off investing time creating G+ / MyBusiness page in my opinion.

Thanks for the advice, we don't sell products so that isn't really relevant for us but we do have a blog on a subdomain. The main thing I am wondering is, is it worth ding schema on the main website as its going to change in 3 weeks when its launched?
-
You should definitely use Schema, depending on the website it may help. For example if you have products and use schema on the reviews you will display stars in the SERPs for that page (which is likely to increase CTR) and if its a blog you will display publish date in SERPs. I don't know about increasing the organic results so much but it definitely helps search engines crawl your site.

Teaser Content Help!!
I'm in the process of a redesign and upgrade to Drupal 8 and have used Drupal's taxonomy feature to add a fairly large database of Points of Interest, Services etc. initially this was just for a Map/Filter for site users. The developer also wants to use teasers from these content types (such as a scenic vista description) as a way to display the content on relevant pages (such as the scenic vistas page, as well as other relevant pages). Along with the content it shows GPS coordinates and icons related to the description. In short, it looks cool, can be used in multiple relevant locations and creates a great UX. However, many of these teasers would basically be pieces of content from pages with a lot of SEO value, like descriptive paragraphs about scenic viewpoints from the scenic viewpoints page. Below is an example of how the descriptions of the scenic viewpoints would be displayed on the scenic viewpoints pages, as well as other potential relevant pages. HOW WILL THIS AFFECT THE SEO VALUE OF THE CONTENT?? Thanks in advance for any help, I can't find an answer anywhere. About 250 words worth of content about a scenic vista. There’s about 8 scenic vista descriptions like this from the scenic vistas page, so a good chunk of valuable content. There are numerous long form content pages like this that have descriptions and information about sites and points of interest that don't warrant having their own page. For more specific content with a dedicated page, I can just the the intro paragraph as a teaser and link to that specific page of content. Not sure what to do here.

Help!!! Am I being Attacked???
Hello, I do not believe so much in spammy links attacks and I definitely do not believe my site is worth attacking. However, I'm seeing new links pointing to my site that I have no idea where they come from. I just spotted three articles on a poor crappy article site with exact match keywords point to me. The articles are completely unique (copyscaped them) and they were posted according to the site time stamp during Oct and Nov 2012. (And they Appear in the WMT recently discovered links from more or less the same time). What to do (besides for disavowing this domain)? Thanks
