Is my schema implemented correctly and not spammy?
-
i already used the validation tool from Google. It tell's me it's implemented, but i would like to know specifically if everything is implemented correctly and in a non spam way.
Here is a product link to test: http://www.suddora.com/pink-sweatbands-wholesale-pink-wristbands.html

People ask similar questions regularly. I just saw you had no answer and wanted to be sure someone had given it a shot for you.
I would suggest go to Schema.org and to GWT and read the info there. By using the tool you confirmed that it was correct. What you don't want to do is corrupt what the intention is by adding in your url, etc. Keep the item property what it is and keep it simple. Remember its semantic web for a reason.
Hope it helps, -
I posted this 2 days ago and I understand this is (kind of) new idea so i don't expect everyone to jump on it, I admit it's hilarious that i put bump! haha.
I just want to make sure our dev did it correctly, as he is not SEO saavy. I'm pretty sure he did but just using the community to verify...

Bump doesn't work here, as there's no user-facing way to see most recent responses. Also, four hours isn't a long time at all to go without a response on the Q&A forums.

Thanks for finding that broken link! We donate and work directly with Susan G Komen We do this mostly on our other website Custom On It, for custom promotional items.
Anything you can find would be great for Schema. We have it implemented but just not sure if it is correct.

Not sure what bump is? I am older so...you know how we are not quite as UTD.
Edit: Had to know so went and checked it out. You can tell I do not spend a lot of times on general or other forums. My guess it the tactic won't work on this one (These guys are fairly sharp at moz.) But, best of luck.
Of course I am assuming you mean to 'bump' this to top of Q&A for some reason. Frankly, if you use the tools on moz you will see that the links are no followed from here. If this was not what you meant/intended, my apologies, LMK.

Paul,
I have one question I have kicked to our head of Dev and will answer the Schema question with his answer to me. On the whole it looks ok. However, here is your content:
Pink sweatbands are great for sporting events. These wholesale pink wristbands work to prevent sweat from affecting your game. They also have a very stylish look to them and are comfortable to wear. Some organization use pink sweatbands to support breast cancer awareness during sports games or events. You really can't go wrong with these pink sweat wristbands.
When I look at this it appears not "Spammy," but misleading. First your link re breast cancer awareness is a 404. I have no idea given that this is the month for breast cancer awareness how long it has been as such. But it looks as if you might in some way be doing something to support breast cancer awareness. Are you? Or, are you simply selling pink wristbands with and without the ribbon?
My suggestion is this: If you are not in any way contributing to the American Cancer Society or another organization tied to providing solace, research, or information to women and their families regarding breast cancer, you should so state that you are not. If you are, you should state plainly who the contributions go to and what amount per sale goes to them.
As a Registered Nurse who has seen too much, I will tell you this, if you agree to donate all proceeds above the actual cost of the bracelets or shipping to the American Cancer Society, my agency, upon receipt of a copy of your cancelled check (or other instrument) will match your donation (it must be at least $100) up to $500. Along with that, I will personally look over your site and will give you a written set of tips to improve your site and will provide up to one hour of phone consultation to you as well.
Best,
Robert

Should I even do product page schema?
If I have no reviews/ratings on the page itself and special/limited time offers and just a regular product page with a standard price, is there any ability to do product schema with it getting flagged for errors? Google's Structured Markup Testing Tool threw me an error when I test it without any of those: | One of offers or review or aggregateRating should be provided. | And even if it's possible, is there any point?

How do I know if I am correctly solving an uppercase url issue that may be affecting Googlebot?
We have a large e-commerce site (10k+ SKUs). https://www.flagandbanner.com. As I have begun analyzing how to improve it I have discovered that we have thousands of urls that have uppercase characters. For instance: https://www.flagandbanner.com/Products/patriotic-paper-lanterns-string-lights.asp. This is inconsistently applied throughout the site. I directed our website vendor to fix the issue and they placed 301 redirects via a rule to the web.config file. Any url that contains an uppercase character now displays as a lowercase. However, as I use screaming frog to monitor our site, I see all these 301 redirects--thousands of them. The XML sitemap still shows the the uppercase versions. We have had indexing issues as well. So I'm wondering what is the most effective way to make sure that I'm not placing an extra burden on Googlebot when they index our site? Should I have just not cared about the uppercase issue and let it alone?

Schema markup for video playlists?
We're adding schema markup for all of our videos, but some videos exist only in a playlist (all integrated into one URL, and loaded after a javascript call). Per Google: "Make sure that your video and schema.org markup are visible without executing any JavaScript or Flash." https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/2413309?hl=en So we know the current implementation won't work for schema markup... What's the best practice for adding schema markup for video playlists? Should we host all of these videos on individual URLs (but then they appear twice) or is there some other workaround?

Schema Markup Showing On Some Pages But Not Others
We have implemented Schema markup for Reviews on product pages. All these pages check out in the Markup Checker Tool in Webmaster Tools, but out in the wild only about 50% of them are actually showing the Review markup in SERPs. Example of a page showing Review markup successfully: http://www.cloud9living.com/los-angeles/drive-a-stock-car And example of a page not showing markup in the SERPs: http://www.cloud9living.com/las-vegas/race-a-ferrari Any ideas on why some SERPs show markup and others do not? Thanks!

Spammy Link Profile Questions. What do you think?
I'm trying to dilute the link profile for a website. But have a couple of questions on the best way to achieve this. Current link profile, www.mysitename.com Keyword 1 Keyword 2 Keyword 3 Keyword 4 Keyword 5 Keyword 6 Keyword 7 Keyword 8 Keyword 9 Keyword 10 Keyword 12 Keyword 13 Keyword 14 Keyword 14 Keyword 15 mysitename.com Desired link profile, www.mysitename.com mysitename.com www.mysitename.com http://www. mysitename.com/ My Site Name http://mysitename.com Click Here my site name More Info mysitename.com/ www.mysitename.com/ Keyword 1 Keyword 2 Keyword 3 Keyword 4 Keyword 4 Keyword 5 Questions 1. Do you think Google looks at this on a domain level? Or do you think this needs to be done with every page on the site? 2. What would be a good way to build links fast to the pages, need to build lots of links to be able to dilute the profile. I was considering Dripable, or a similar service, but decided i really don't want to create more spam.What would you do? 3. What would you say the % threshold for anchor text is, i have read on different sources that at least 40% - 60% of links should be branded, url, or generic anchor links. Do you think this is accurate?

Competing with Spammy Links
One of my client's leading competitors is well stacked in terms of rank/authority. PA: 61, DA: 53. However, in OSE I estimate that +/- of all links on the first page are from sites such as "http://www.shopp011.freedownloadhub.com/Link-Exchange/browse.php?id=17", "http://www.shopp002.freedownloadhub.com/Link-Exchange/browse.php?id=17", "http://www.shopp029.freedownloadhub.com/Link-Exchange/browse.php?id=17". Personally, I would consider this to be a little spammy. However, I admit that I could be wrong. What's the best approach when trying to take on a competitor like this? Wait it out and tell my client to keep blogging/selling as per the schedule until Google pics up on these links?

Schema.org on Youtube iframe embed?
So I've tried scouring the internet on the proper way to markup youtube videos. I know there's the VideoObject propery but that seems to be more made for the old school embed code that looks like this: <embed width="100%" id="video-player-flash" height="100%" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://s.ytimg.com/yt/swfbin/watch_as3-vflpp9opi.swf" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" bgcolor="#000000" flashvars="el=embedded&fexp=904001%2C914057%2C918000%2C910206%2C907217%2C907335%2C921602%2C919306%2C922600%2C919316%2C920704%2C912804%2C913542%2C919324%2C912706&is_html5_mobile_device=false&tabsb=1&hl=en_US&eurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.dial800.com%2Fblog%2Fvideos%2Fdial800-product-overview-video&iurl=http%3A%2F%2Fi4.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2Fgk1aD9UCKYA%2Fhqdefault.jpg&tspto=12000&probably_logged_in=1&tsp_buffer=10&video_id=gk1aD9UCKYA&tsp_dvrloop=50&sendtmp=1&enablejsapi=1&sk=WZy3rFIXzzhTB_BpmE1p1tTsbxMib1vIC&rel=1&playlist_module=http%3A%2F%2Fs.ytimg.com%2Fyt%2Fswfbin%2Fplaylist_module-vfl3lol2H.swf&jsapicallback=ytPlayerOnYouTubePlayerReady&playerapiid=player1&framer=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.dial800.com%2Fblog%2Fvideos%2Fdial800-product-overview-video"> Do I need to use that code or is it possible to mark it up using just the clean iframe src that youtube provides now?
