Rich Snippet to Appear as a List
-
Hi guys,
I'm trying to optimize a page to improve the chances of it appearing as a rich snippet in a list format (ie. Top 5 tips for...). I'm using the All in One Schema Rich Snippet Plugin in Wordpress and I'm wondering if you manually need to enter the bullets into the schema rich snippet maker or if Google pulls the information from the article and lists it themselves?
Appreciate any help.
Thanks!

Keyword appearing on almost every slug of product pages = over-optimizatio
Hello all, I have an online store, let's say for example I sell forks of all kinds and colors. So naturally, I have 'product category' pages with titles and slugs like: Big forks
On-Page Optimization | | Veptune
Small forks
Plastic forks
Red fork
etc.. And plenty of product pages with slugs and H1 like: Small red fork
Large plastic fork
18th-century fork
etc... Some category pages are well-ranked, others are not, the same goes for product pages. The problem is that for the main keyword, 'fork' (exact query in the search console), my site is completely absent. Google should logically have referenced my homepage (which has links to all categories) for this main keyword. I have also optimized the page for it, without overdoing it. I wonder if it's not because I have a lot of pages with 'fork' in the slug, and perhaps Google thinks it's too much (even though it's logical for this word to be present in all product pages because it's an essential word to describe the product). I wonder if I should not modify half of my product pages to remove the word 'fork' from the slug...(only from the slug, without touching the H1 because removing the word 'fork' would remove its meaning). Do you have any experiences with this kind of issue? I wouldn't ask the question if my homepage was behind the competition, but it's completely absent. Thanks0 -

Google Webmaster Guideline Change: Human-Readable list of links
In the revised webmaster guidelines, google says "[...] Provide a sitemap file with links that point to the important pages on your site. Also provide a page with a human-readable list of links to these pages (sometimes called a site index or site map page)." (Source: https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/35769?hl=en) I guess what they mean by this is something like this: http://www.ziolko.de/sitemap.html Still, I wonder why they say that. Just to ensure that every page on a site is linked and consequently findable by humans (and crawlers - but isn't the XML sitemap for those and gives even better information)? Should not a good navigation already lead to every page? What is the benefit of a link-list-page, assuming you have an XML sitemap? For a big site, a link-list is bound to look somewhat cluttered and its usefulness is outclassed by a good navigation, which I assume as a given. Or isn't it? TL;DR: Can anybody tell me what exactly is the benefit of a human-readable list of all links? Regards, Nico

Rich Snippets
Hi guys, Working with a client that we did not design, build or code their website. And further more they are happy with their website, and to be fair, its all fine. We are there to try help them improve their poor overall ranking positions website contains an e-commerce solution and as part of the project we are implementing Rich Snippets. Anytime we have used Rich Snippets, we have always followed Google's guidelines and well structured each product page to adhere to how Google advise. (we have also designed and coded the clients website in these cases, or indeed restructured certain pages). Problem with this website is the product layout is all over the place. So my question for people who have used Rich Snippets, have you ever deviated from the layout as advised by Google For example, with this clients current structure ,we would need to open the product snippet like example below, mark up what we want to use, but between the opening and closing tags, we have content that is not being used for Rich Snippets Their Product£39Client has a section here containing information we will not use for rich snippets<.div>Anther section containing more irrelevant stuffProduct DescriptionProduct ID: SKUCode <--- Close Schema product ----> I have tested the above structure out with Google's tool, and well its finding all the rich content fine, I am just worried that the two divs in-between the opening and closing tag for the Product Div may cause problems. Has anyone deviated from the exact flow as outlined by Google and still got their snippets displayed fine Thanks in advance John

Rich Snippets - What am I doing wrong
Hi all, This is my first post and I really hope someone in here can point me in the right direction. Background:
On-Page Optimization | | bfrl
I added Rich Snippets code to the footer of my site, tested it on http://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/richsnippets which all looks good. I was attempting to link reviews for our brand rather than specific products as these product reviews aren't available. Result:
Every page on my site contained the same rich snippets code and within a couple of days all the site pages were indexed including review stars. After another couple of weeks the review stars were removed from every page on the next crawl/index. Next Steps:
I removed Rich Snippets code from every page except my home page. The rich review stars appeared in the search results for a couple of days but in the past two weeks they have since disappeared again. What next?
I appreciate that I went about the implementation incorrectly but at this time only the home page contains valid mark up but no review stars in search. Has anyone got experience or advice to help me out in this situation? Many thanks.0 -
