Experiences with event rich snippets?
-
We've recently (in the past 6 months) implemented rich snippets into one of our websites, which lists events around the USA. We've run our code through Google's testing tools and all looks good. When we search for terms which we compete for, many of our competitors display the event sub-links in the SERPs but we still do not.
Does anyone have any experience with rich snippets with regards to whether site reputation or (we're a new website) others factors will impact if/when google will display our rich snippets in search results?
Thanks!

I have heard of this problem before. I was about to pitch a client of setting up snippets in their ecommerce site but decided againt it because I didnt want to be held resoponsible when they invest in the development hours and Google refuses to display them for a year.
Is this common? Anyone else had similar experiences.

Thanks for the reply. I sort of figured that it would take some time, especially with us being a new website. Just didn't want to sit back and wait if there was something we could be doing.
thx.

Hi there, we had exactly the same problem, for a hotel review website. (otelsikayet.com)
It took Google to start showing the starts and number of comments 8 months. I am not sure if there is a way to accelerate this process, but we contacted a few people from Google but it did not help. Then afteer 8 months suddenly the SERPs started shoing our snippets.
I hope this helps.

Schema.org snippet for thumbs up-down reviews
Hi guys, I'm deep into the Schema.org meta-tags implementation for the reviews on my website and I'd love to know how do you think I should implement it when I have Positive-Negative reviews as opposed to star ratings. I couldn't find a site that had this with schema tags for reference. Fiverr used to have thumbs up/down, but recently changed to star rating. On our services marketplace we allow users to review the providers they worked with and ask them for a positive-negative review - thumbs up/down with an additional open text area. I thought about adding a schema.org meta-tags like this: Lets assume one of our providers got two reviews, one is positive and the second is negative. So, first I thought about adding an aggregateReview meta-tag on top, just like this: And also add a meta-tag for any review, like this: Two days ago by

Joe is a great guy, I'd recommend him to my friends. Does that make sense? Has anyone had the chance to implement a schema.org meta tags for this kind of situation or familiar with a website who does it that way? Thanks so much for your help! Shaqd0 -

Http to https conversion - what were your experiences?
Background: Our devs have been talking about changing some of our websites so that all pages are https vs just those that are a part of our logins and shopping carts. From what I have read things that need to be done as a part of this are make sure that https pages will allow caching setup new site in GWT put 301 redirects in place update all internal links, social profiles etc everywhere you can to https URLs can server handle the extra load so no impact on site speed There is an old MCutts video that says essentially, "works for Pay Pal" and "you can try it, but test it on a smaller site first" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xeFo4ytOk8M The comments below the video are all stories about loss in rank and traffic with some coming back. Not sure if these folks did the move correctly, but still, you never know. Question: Have any of you done a technically "correct" move of an entire site from http to https using the suggestions above? What was your experience? Any gotchas? Just to be clear, I am not talking about setting up a site from scratch, but wanted to know impact on an established site. Thx

Google crawled my rich snippet pages and then excluded them
Hi guysWe have added schema.org mark up a few months ago and it all looked well and showed up then suddenly last month all the crawled pages disappeared from Webmaster tools Structured data (see the screenshot attached). This happened to another site of mine and I cannot figure out what causes it. Nothing has been changed on the pages and you can see by yourself in the HTML code. Any ideas to why this might happened this way?wenR89I.png?1

Rich Snippits - Product Data showing in serps
Google "halloween costumes", see the yandy listing that shows product data and pricing under their listing? How did they do this? I realize its a rich snippit of some kind but i don't see in the code how or where this is. I've yet to see anyone but Amazon influence the SERPS yet with rich snippits. Pretty interesting
