Google's Structured Data Testing Tool? No Data
-
I'm stumped as to why some of the pages on my website return no data from Google's Structured Data Testing Tool while other pages work fine and return the appropriate data.
My home page http://www.parkseo.net returns no data while many inner pages do.
http://www.parkseo.net Returns No Data
http://www.parkseo.net/citation-submission.html Does Return Data.
I have racked my brains out trying to figure out why some pages return data and others don't. Any help on this issue would be greatly appricated.
Cheers!

Steve, if you ever figure out what the problem was, please let me know. I've got two different client sites that have the "invalid URL" problem. I've dug through and cleaned them both up via the usual HTML validator, thinking maybe it was some unclosed tag or something sending the parsers off into La-La Land....to no avail

Our site had been showing up in the structured data tool since it began. All of a sudden within the last few days we noticed that when we type in our home page the message no longer shares our author data, and schema, but returns: Invalid URL or page not found
When we use the html tab and add our code, all our mark ups are showing up.
We are baffled as the site is still indexed on google. We have applied the same code to two other sites, and they work fine.

I added 2 new web pages over the weekend and the information showed up immediately in the tool. The structured data tool does not index, it goes out and pulls in the current live data from the Title Tag but it does not display the description data. To test this change the data in the Title Tag and refresh the preview button and the data is updated immediately. From my observation Google only needs Title Tag info to display a Rich Snippet. Go ahead and test it. In fact you can add a new page to your website and a Rich Snippet shows up immediately. This is why I am stumped.
I have resubmitted and indexed the entire site through the webmaster tool. I'll just have to wait and see if that makes a difference.
Thanks for you input Matt.

I'm not sure why the citation page returns a preview but to be fair, it's a tool to test your markup and the page that's not returning anything doesn't have any rich snippet markup, does it?
In troubleshooting, it says:
Have you supplied enough information?
Google needs certain data to generate a rich snippet preview for each product type. For example, a Review without a reviewer or a Review-aggregate without a count will not generate a preview. A Person without enough marked-up information, or an event without a date or venue, won't generate a rich snippet either. To see required properties, check the article for each content type.
So maybe it just sees the main page as "not enough info" - although again, why it returns any preview on sub-pages is beyond me.

Site Speed Testing Tools For Production Sites
Hi Guys, Any free site speed testing tools for sites in production, which are password protected? We want to test site speed before the new site goes live on top priority pages. Site is on Shopify – we tried google page insights while being logged into the production site but believe its just recording the speed of the password page. Cheers.

Does Google ignore content styled with 'display:none'?
Do you know if an H1 within a div that has a 'display: none' style applied will still be crawled and evaluated by Google? We have that situation on this page on line 136: view-source:https://www.junk-king.com/services/items-we-take/foreclosure-cleanouts Of course we also have an H1 up at the top of the page and are concerned that the second one will cause interference with our SEO efforts. I've seen conflicting and inconclusive information on line - not sure. Thanks for any help.

What's wrong with the algorithm?
Is it possible that Google is penalising a specific page and in the same time it shows unrelated page in the search results? "rent luxury car florence" shows https://lurento.com/city/munich/on the 2nd page (that's Munich, Germany) and in the same time completely ignores the related page https://lurento.com/city/florence/ How I can figure out if the specific page has been trashed and why? Thanks,

Our client's web property recently switched over to secure pages (https) however there non secure pages (http) are still being indexed in Google. Should we request in GWMT to have the non secure pages deindexed?
Our client recently switched over to https via new SSL. They have also implemented rel canonicals for most of their internal webpages (that point to the https). However many of their non secure webpages are still being indexed by Google. We have access to their GWMT for both the secure and non secure pages.

Should we just let Google figure out what to do with the non secure pages? We would like to setup 301 redirects from the old non secure pages to the new secure pages, but were not sure if this is going to happen. We thought about requesting in GWMT for Google to remove the non secure pages. However we felt this was pretty drastic. Any recommendations would be much appreciated.0 -
Doubts with URL's structure
Hi guys i have some doubts with the correct URL structure for a new site. The question is about how show the city, the district and also the filters. I would do that: www.domain.com/category/city/disctict but maybe is better do that: **www.domain.com/category/city-district ** I also have 3 filters that are "individual/colective" "indoor/outdoor" and "young/adult" but that are not really interesting for the querys so where and how i put this filtters? At the end of the url showing these: **www.domain.com/cateogry/city/district#adult#outdoor#colective ** ? Well really i don't know what to do with the filters. Check if you could help me with that please. I also have a lof of interest in knowing if maybe is better use this combination **www.domain.com/category-city or domain.com/category/city **and know about the diference. Thank you very much!

Is there any SEO advantage to sharing links on twitter using google's url shortener goo.gl/
Hi is there any advantage to using <cite class="vurls">goo.gl/</cite> to shorten a URL for Twitter instead of other ones? I had a thought that <cite class="vurls">goo.gl/</cite> might allow google to track click throughs and hence judge popularity.

Generating Rich Snippets without Structured Data
I noticed something in Google search results today that I can't explain. Any help would be appreciated. I performed a real estate based search and the top result featured a rich snippet showcasing the following... Address Price Bd/Ba
Intermediate & Advanced SEO | | RyanOD
912 Garden District Dr #17. Charlotte, NC 28202 $179,990 3 / 2
222 S Caldwell St #1602. Charlotte, NC 28202 $389,238 2 / 2&1/2 However, when I visit the page associated with this information, there is no Schema to be found. In fact, the page is, for the most part, just a large table listing homes on the market. The table headings are Address, Price, and Bd/Ba. Is it common for Google to use table based data to generate rich snippets? What is the best way to influence this? In the absence of Schema (as the page we are talking about has no Schema implementation), does Google default to table data? Has anyone seen this behavior before and, if so, can you point me to it? EDIT: I've now come across a few other examples where the information is not in a table, but rather in divs. Why are such sites (you can find some by searching for "[ZIPCODE] real estate") getting this treatment?0 -
What's the best way to phase in a complete site redesign?
Our client is in the planning stages of a site redesign that includes moving platforms. The new site will be rolled out in different phases throughout a period of a year. They are planning to put the new site redesign on a subdomain (i.e. www2.website.com) during the roll out of the different phases while eventually switching the new site back over to the www domain once all the phases are complete. We’re afraid that having the new site on the www2 domain will hurt SEO. For example, if their first phase is rolling out a new system to customize a product design and this new design system is hosted on www2.website.com/customize, when a customer picks a product to customize they’ll be linked to www2.website.com/customize instead of the original www.website.com/customize. The old website will start to get phased out as more and more of the new website is completed and users will be directed to www2. Once the entire redesign is completed, the old platform can be removed and the new website moved back to the www subdomian. Is there a better way of rolling out a website redesign in phases and not have it hosted on a different subdomain?
