Rich snippets stars gone
-
i had some rich snippets stars for reviews showing on one of my clinets sites, but today they have gone, has anyone had this happen, if so what did you do to get them back?
-
bob just to let you know, i re-did the reviews using actual reviews on page, just 2 of them and i have the starts back.
-
did you try to get them back? any sucess?
-
That's me
And yes, I think a competitor ratted me out to Google while I was experimenting with the review stars -
Just noticed your domain anseocompany.com.au
I have seen it when checking my rankings, i also remeber you had stars before, are you talking from expirerence?
I used to trade under perthseocompany.com.au but i have merged my websites under thatsit.com.au

Yes i just had a look as i removed some html from that page, thought i may of taken some of the wrong cope out, but no.
But i did find that i was messing around and added a empty organization snippet see below and forgot to remove it, it was just above the review, maybe it upset things
http://schema.org/Organization">
but then the stars still apeared in rich snippet tool, so I doubt this had an affect, but i have removed it and i will see.
I am from parkerville up in the hills, i have been suprised to see so many Aussies on the forum.

Hmm, not sure in that case. Any recent updates to the code perhaps?
And yes, I'm from Perth too

http://data-vocabulary.org/Review">
NYT, BBC, NPR and CNNnot a count of reviews, i will give it a few days to see if they come back.
I am a perth seo, and the ones on my site are fine.(at the moment)
Are you also from Perth Bob

these were just rich snippets for orgqanic serps
-
We're they real reviews or manufactured ones? I've seen a lot of Perth SEO sites had em, and Google took them away because they were misleading.

Has the star rating dropped?
I know Google Adwords has a trigger at round 4 stars+, if the star rating drops below this the stars turn off.
So this might/might not be the problem.

Is being in position 1-3 without a featured snippet better for conversions?
I'm a cosmetic dental practice so we're local and want people to visit our website, look around and make a booking. I've followed very closely the featured snippet debate on WBF and in the blogs here and everywhere else on the web. I've got many 1-3 positions and have been optimising for featured snippets with great success. I have noticed though that once I get a featured snippet the CTR of the page that the snippet is taken from drops significantly. This can often put me from position one into two or three. The same thing happens sometimes on the local listings. You get in the pack and people start visiting your homepage rather than the particular services page in the SERP. At a conference I was at, here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1iXlVcbpvd0 (11:14) there is a suggestion that Vodafone de-optimise because a position one or two is better for their sales than a featured snippet. After all my interests are not the same as google. They want to answer questions and I want to sell cosmetic dentistry. So is answering a question without bringing a user to my site a good idea? I've certainly seen the amount of enquiries drop once the category has a number of featured snippets. Are they as good as everyone says they are? I think possibly not from my data and this Vodafone talk is the first time i've heard anyone agree. I've scoured the web for answers and it's all just "GET FEATURED SNIPPETS", "HERES HOW TO GET THEM" etc. But my business is not about getting more traffic it's about selling. Could someone please point me to research on conversion rate and featured snippets. or ROI and featured snippets? Thanks.

I've already seen this in the search result of "bitstamp". I've added a screenshot so as you can see what I'm saying. Also i'd like you to recommend me some rich snippet preview that supports extract data from an API. This is my first Q&A, hope you can understand me 🙂 Bye 60abdb6537.JPG0 -

Rich Snippets not showing up in Google

Any insight would be great. Thanks

Why has my bounce rate gone in to orbit since moving the same content to a new site?!
I moved our site to a wordpress theme over the christmas break. All content is pretty much the same word for word, and I think the new site looks much, much better than the old one. Why then, has our overall bounce rate gone from 7-8%, up to 74%? Bounce rates for some KW focused internal pages have gone from 2-3% to similar 70+% in some cases. Just to confuse things further, I have also changed the name and branding for the site to differentiate us from a competitor and stop the confusion we've experienced at times. But, I can't see how the new logo would cause and extra 65% of visitors to leave straight off! I really don't want to go back to the old name and don't think that's the answer anyhow, but I may have to test it out of sheer desperation. There's only a static holding page for the old site now as a reference point for people searching the old name (not many). So I've attached a screenshot of how it looked below. Also at http://imgur.com/aM5o9. The new site is at flatroofs.co.uk. I have just noticed that by placing the previous 'more information' links a secondary menu in the left widget area rather than on the page, they are less noticeable especially if you scroll down to the bottom of a page, where the only links are in the footer? Again though, if 75% of people are put off this easily something else must be at play! Any advice/suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Danny. aM5o9.png?1

5 star review for website
I have been considering adding a 5 star review capability to my website. Are there any good ones that I can add with either html or javascript? I do not have a wordpress site. Any experience with increased conversion rates with such a capability? Also, do any have the capability to show up in google search results?

Why does Google only show the review stars for some listings in the Places results
I have a client who shows up in the Places results for his targeted keyword phrase, but one of his competitors' listing shows 5 gold stars next to the reviews which causes him to stand out visually. I was under the impression that at one time the stars only showed for listings that had official Google reviews, but the other listings in the results also have "Google Reviews" but no stars.
