Added to product title showing the discount, will it affect the product rankings?

I've added the savings info to a few products to see if I get any more visits from google merchant, example; After Party | Save £5.40. will it harm the products ranking or merchant feed?

Yes it does improve CTR on organic search. Regular product pages rely on the content Google crawls (i.e. title and description).
With the hproduct spec you will get price, availability, product category bread-crumb and review information - i.e. your search result will stand out from everyone else.
I have only worked with hproduct and single offers, but I would say that the offeraggregate would allow you to cater for different currencies. A good starting point is http://support.google.com/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=146750
Don't use microformats. Microdata/Schema.org is your first choice but RDFa works just as well.

Do you have any evidence that microformats increases CTR? My guess is it does, just looking for something more concrete.
If your product is in multi currencies how would you code that in microformats?
-
I think you would get more click-throughs by adding microformats and reviews to your product pages - like this.
The merchant feed specifications are quite strict about not including promotional context in your title (such as "free shipping").

Page Ranking by URL / Keyword
Needing to know how to find out the page rank of a URL that is NOT within the top 50 or top 100. Need to know that specific page's rank, not what our overall site's ranking for the keyword is. Can't seem to find any tool that goes beyond the top 100. Any ideas?

Rankings confusion in pro campaign
Hello Moz-world! I recently set up a new campaign, and the crawl is still in the process of wrapping up (been 4 days). When I look at my rankings it tells me "not in the top 50" then when I scroll over, it shows me that my client is ranking in position 3, in the instance of one keyword. Anyone know why there is a discrepancy between what the report shows, and what it shows when you mouse over the rankings? Thanks! Tyler

Claim Universal Placement Media in Rankings Report
There are several videos of ours on 3rd party sites (YouTube, Vimeo) that are in universal placements but show as not ours. Since they are not on our domain is there a way we can claim them in the rankings report to make the report more accurate?

Rankings Check and Googles Quality Guidelines
Hi, I am trialing SEOmoz at present. What i dont understand is how come the rankings check, which presumably involves sending requests to Google, doesnt contravine the Google quality guidelines and cause a website to be penalised. Sorry if being a bit dim - but if anybody could explain it would be really helpful cheers stayin

Why do I see different ranking results for Bing and Yahoo?
If Bing is running the Yahoo search results then it seems to me the ranks for both Bing and Yahoo should be the same. So why are my SEOmoz ranking reports showing different positions for each?
