The use of Markup language
-
Hi,
We were thinking of adding markup language to our site. We have been reading about it to understand the actual benefits of doing so (we have seen many brands are not using it, including moz.com).
So I have two questions:
1- Would you recommend using it for our site? www.memoq.com
2- If yes, would it be better to create a snippet of code for our home page as an "organization" and then different snippets for our product pages as "products".
Looking forward to your comments,
-
Yes I have read almost every Google guideline and post about it. I guess I will delete the description from the organization as that text is not found as such in the page.
Thanks for the answer and for the help during these days!!

Hi Kirsten,
I have one last question related to structured data. We have decided to use JSON-LD as it is the preferred form of markup language by Google. Now my question is regarding the standard of the code we are about to insert.
This is a part of the code we have created using Google testers tool:
-
Creating the piece for the code for the "Organization" using the tester tool from Google was pretty straightforward, however, I now have one more question, this time a little more conceptual:
When we started to create the snippet of code for our product, we were thinking of adding items such as "nam", "logo", "description", "url", "offer" (where we would include price), but also "reviews". I am not sure this is the best approach, as I would naturally relate reviews more with hotels, hostels, bars... but no necessarily with translation software. Nonetheless, review for translation software are everywhere, and it is very frequent that translators.
Do you have any advice? Is there any blog or article were I can read more about it?
Thanks,
-
Hi,
Like Kirsten already mentioned, I would definitely go with structured markup. The best thing around these these is JSON-LD to do this so you can separate your structured markup from the rest of the content. In this case I would also re-use the Organization information on your Product pages but also go indeed with the Product Schema. But what you can do as well is make sure that if you have review they're marked up with the Review Schema as well.
Best of luck!
Martijn.

Doctype language declaration problem
Hello,
Technical SEO | | Silviu
I have a problem with an SEM Rush warning on a website audit, for www.enjoyprepaid.com. It tells me "5852 pages are lacking language declaration", but I don't understand what it means and how to actually fix this problem. Also I run a W3 validator and have a doctype and language problem but again don't understand what they mean and how to fix them https://validator.w3.org/nu/?doc=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.enjoyprepaid.com%2FAfghanistan-calling-cards-2.html0 -
How do i actually use the canonicalization rule for Apache?
Hi Guys, Moz is reporting lots of duplicate content on my site. I think this is partly from session id's and partly from category pages and on-site search generated pages. I know I have to use the canonicalization rule but don't know exactly how to determine the correct URL and where to put the code. Can anyone offer any advice on this? I'm new to this so apologies for any etiquette breaching etc. Many thanks, Stewart.

Missing Meta Tags - "thousands" using WooCommerce?
Recently took a site live for a client using WP/WooCommerce to replace their antiquated shopping cart site and have encountered thousands of "Missing Meta Description Tag" errors. Have researched and tried a couple different approaches, but nothing really seems to fix this problem. I'm happy to continue to research, but have never encountered this problem before. Anyone else encountered similar? If so, how did you fix? Which resources to start with? 2VKDRVx

Does image domain name matter when using a CDN?
Has anyone does studies on using a different CDN domain name for images on a site? Here is an example: or ![](<a)http://cdn.mydomain.com/image.jpg> mydomain.com ranks highly and many images show up in Google/Bing image searches. Is there any actual data that says that using your real domain name for the CDN has benefits versus the default domain name provided by the CDN provider? On the surface, it feels like it would, but I haven't experimented with it.

Does any one have experience with SEO and .NET using 301 redirects?
A while ago I altered some of the URL's of my website. Google now thinks that I have two duplicate pages (duplicate content), I have asked my third party web developers (Who use .NET and a custom built CMS system) to simply 301 redirect the old URL to the other. However, my web developers say the following: "Solving the problems by 301 permanent re directs are out of the question as this would create infinite loops. Likely to bring down our server." They also wont do a canonical, as they say there is only one page (but two URLs) Firstly, has any one heard of this before and do they think this is true? Also, does anyone have an alternative method of getting rid of the old URL? Any thoughts would be much appreciated.

MBG Tracker...how to use it?
So I am a new blogger that has been submitting guest blog posts to a number of different blogs. It was recommended that I use the MBG Tracker so I can track the back links. The problem is that I am totally lost on how to use this tool. As I said before I am new to this whole thing and I am not really sure what constitutes a "base link" and a "back link." In the author bylines we are linking to different pages within a larger website. If anyone can help me I would really appreciate it!
