Images being ranked
-
I have a client who is concerned about the performance of his images ranking on Google Images. I have taken a look at the obvious things like - alt tags, title tags , file names.
I am not sure why he is struggling quite so much to get his images ranked well as the sites he is competing against and who are already ranking are a very poor quality.
This is his site - http://www.ukweddingfavours.co.uk
Would really appreciate your feedback and I can dish out some good answers.

They support them all as all major search engines have agreed on http://schema.org/
They may not display them all at this moment, but i would mark up the best fit using http://schema.org/ for the future.
Remeber Bing and Yahoo also use them.

The required properties to be listed are found here:
http://support.google.com/webmasters/bin/topic.py?hl=en&topic=21997My website has many profiles of aged care facilities with photos and so I'm looking for a way to display these photos on Google.
Trouble is I can't seem to find the right rich snippet type that Google supports.
The organizations snippet looks fitting however it doesn't include an image within it's property types.

They don’t always display them, I think that some industries have more of a chance of getting displayed then others, but as time goes on I believe more and more will be used. But it is not just being displayed that is the advantage. Imagine someone searching for a phone, you may have a page with the word phone on it, you may have a image of the phone, a description of the phone and its features. The search engine does not understand what all these things are, it does not understand that altogether they are a product. But if you mark them up using rich snippets it can see them as a product with a image, description and the rest. When some one searches for a phone what would the search engine rather display to them.

Interesting stuff. Just a few questions:
How many itemprops are needed in order to be listed by Google? I counted 10 one one of the pages.
In your experience how long would it take before Google picks up on the changes and displays them?
-
If you want to see an example on how to mark it up, see bottom of page http://schema.org/ImageObject
if you want to see it in action, see results with images and ratings
-
Ok great do you know of any examples sites using this method already ?
-
i must say they are nice images.
I would mark them up as rich snippits.
eaither as a image object
or a image belonging to a product object
Its a fair bit of work, but worth it, you can test them with google rich snippits tool

Does RSS Feed help to rank better in Google?
Hello, I heard RSS Feed helps in ranking. However, I am not sure if I should enable RSS Feed or not. Whenever I publish an article on my site , I see that many other websites have leeched my Feed and get's the same article I written published with a nofollow backlink to my website article. The worst part is that my article doesn't appear in Google search, but the website which copied my article gets ranked in Google. Although the article gets index on google (checked by using site:website.com). Although some articles show up after 24 hours by ranking higher from the sites which copied my article. Any idea what should I do? Thank you

Duplicate content affects on overall rankings
Hi guys, I have a website that has 23 pages with duplicate content. These pages serve the same function, which enables customers to upload their images. There is not much content on each one but we require a different page for each of our products, here is an example page: http://www.point101.com/giclee_printing/upload#/upload I don't think it makes sense to use a canonical tag as each page is for a different product and I think its going to be difficult to differentiate each page. I was wondering: 1. If this has a negative effect on the ranking of our homepage and other main product pages or if its an issue we do not need to worry too much about. 2. If anyone has any other ideas as to how we can resolve this issue. Thanks,

Did anyone Rankings drop massively last weekend ...Is this new google update ?
Hi all, My Site rankings took a battering in the past week , From what I have read, I know that google have updated their algorithm and supposedly it only affects less than 1% of queries but I was very surprised to have fallen in that list... Just wondered, am i the only site to have been hammered this past week ? or is it more of a case that maybe the new algorithm means I need to be more savvy with our SEO. Just posting a quick general consensus question ... thanks Sarah

New site not ranking for it's name
Performed on-page SEO for this new site that went live a couple of weeks ago - no link building or anything of that nature yet. http://maven-management.com I'm starting to see the site rank on Bing for some keyword phrases but it doesn't rank for the business name "Maven Management" on any major search engine. SEOMoz gives my on page optimization an A for the business name for the home page. Am I just being impatient? I didn't really put much effort into ranking for the business name because that generally seems to happen without any issue. There are other companies online with the same name. Any insight is appreciated.

Can Other Websites You Own Affect Your Rankings?
Let's say you own three websites. One is low quality and Google frowns upon it, another is moderate and a third has stellar unique content. Would Google penalize the third website because you own the first website? On a related note - If you were banned from Google AdWords, would registering a site in your name potentially harm your rankings?
