There are 2 parts to my question,

Part 1 - Does anyone have any advice on how to optimize for google places and do you know of any good links to any resources on this topic?

Part 2 - Is there a way to optimize feed submissions to shopping search engines like google base, shopzilla etc.

Thanks

I myself don't use Google Places, as we don't have a storefront, but these SEOmoz resources should be a good starting place for your first question.

Gregster1000,

Rand did a webinar on this topic a couple of months ago: http://www.seomoz.org/webinars/changes-in-local-seo

this should point you in the right direction for Local Search.

Here is a resource on how to optimize your feed for Google base: http://www.bestrank.com/blog/how-to-optimize-google-base-data-feeds

I am not sure about shopzilla.

I hope this helps,

Cyle

Getting indexed in Google Scholar

seo googlescholar

Hi all! We have a client who publishes scholarly research as a highly regarded non-profit. Their Publications aren't being indexed in Google Scholar 50% of the time and when they are, Google is pulling random stuff from a PDF vs. from the html page. Any advice on best practices is enormously appreciated

Getting indexed by Google scholar

Often my Google Scholar alerts result in exactly what I think they will: scholarly articles published in academic journals. However, today I got this completely non-scholarly article https://www.t-nation.com/training/the-exact-reps-that-make-you-grow and I have no idea why Google Scholar is indexing this site. I've read up on how to get indexed by Google Scholar, and this website doesn't seem to have the necessary requirements. I'm curious for anyone whose clients or industry need to get indexed by Google Scholar, what has worked for you?

Search results vary in chrome vs other browsers even in Incognito mode: Google's stand?

Hi all, We use incognito mode or private browsing to check the Actual results which are not impacted by previous history, location (sometimes), etc. Even we browse this way, we can see the different search results. Why would this happen? What's Google's stand on this? What is the actual way to browse to get the unbiased results for certain search queries? I have experienced that Chrome will rank our own websites bit higher compared to the other browsers even in incognito mode. Thanks

Sitelink (meta) descriptions in Google SERP

Hi, I am probably not the only one having this question regarding the quality of sitelinks in organic results. When your search returns sitelinks, I know the only thing you can do to avoid certain sitelinks to appear is to demote it for that search result. But what can you do about the description. For the main result you are pretty much able to create an appealing description, but when the sitelinks appear, all sitelinks display these crappy 'composed' descriptions. I've read Google did some tests a couple of years ago with multiple descriptions and multiple titles, but this doesn't cover the issue I just described. Is there a way to create 'sitelink descriptions'? Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

Is it bad for international SEO to redirect CcTLDs and install Google website translator plugin to the primary domain (UK)?

We've bought lots of country extensions, e.g. .es, .fr, .in, .me, etc. Rather than employing translators, will it be acceptable for SEO to install the google translate plugin to the site, and 301 redirect the country extensions to the .com address?

Updating the Google Knowledge Graph....any hard answers on how to do this?

We are trying to update the Google Knowledge graph for one our clients. We would like to have company founding date, CEO's name and founder name in the knowledge graph. This information is already included in their wikipedia entry. Where else can we make changes to update this knowledge graph? Is their structured data option for founding dates, CEO/founder names? Should we include this information in their Google+ profile? We are using the publisher tag. We are not sure how to update the freebase account.

Does Google index search results pages for other search engines?

I've noticed a lot of backlinks to sites consist of SERPS from other search engines that Google. A link to a query like: http://searcheninge.com/?q=apple for instance. Does Google index these links and do they give any value? Regards, Henrik
