Can anyone show me a good example of Microdata for a site
-
Hi, i am just learning about microdata after being told that it would be a good idea to have this for my site www.in2town.co.uk as i understand it, if i put this in, then it will allow google to understand more about my page
I have been reading about it here https://support.google.com/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=99170
and would like to know if anyone is using it and if it is making a difference, also can anyone show me some good examples on a working website please
i work in joomla so as i understand it, i would have to put this in each page to help google understand more about the page and its content
any help would be great.

Thank you for this, looks like i need to get on top of this and start using it on my site.

Structured data is extremely beneficial when executed properly and under the right circumstances. It's not usable for every single piece or type of content on a site though. So the first challenge is to determine what on your site is viable for being coded with structured data markup.
For example, on the article you referenced, Google gives some examples of the types of content that would benefit from this:
There are many more uses nowadays - article authorship information, publisher information, and a host of possibilities thanks to Schema.org - a collaborative effort between Google, Bing and Yahoo.
Want to go even further, you can then layer in the Facebook OpenGraph system on top of that - a completely different way to markup content information for crawl-ability improvements.
As you scan through all the various types of data that could qualify, from there it's a matter of following implementation guidelines.
If you've done any type of search recently for sports scores, weather, searches with "reviews" in the search phrase, "Current events in ____", you've likely seen structured data integrated into some of the organic results - when you see it, it's pretty obvious in that it provides very specific types of information, presented in very clean visual ways as compared to purely seeing a page title and two line description of the page.

Site-wide Links
Hey y'all, I know this question has been asked many times before but I wanted to see what your stance was on this particular case. The organisation I work for is a group of 12 companies - each with its own website. On some of the sites we have a link to the other sites within the group on every single page of that site. Our organic search traffic has dropped a bit but not significantly and we haven't received any manual penalties from Google. It's also worth mentioning that the referral traffic for these sites from the other sites I control is quite good and the bounce rate is extremely low. If you were in my shoes would you remove the links, put a nofollow tag on the links or leave the links as they are? Thanks guys 🙂

Moving articles to new site, can't 301 redirect because of panda
I have a site that is high quality, but was hit by penguin and perhaps panda. I want to remove some of the articles from my old site and put them on my new site. I know I can't 301 redirect them because I will be passing on the bad google vibes. So instead, I was thinking of redirecting the old articles to a page on the old site which explains that the article is moved over to the new site. I assume that's okay? I'm wondering how long I should wait between the time I take them down from the old site to the time I repost them on the new site. Do I need to wait for Google to de-index them in order to not be considered duplicate content/syndication? We'll probably reword them a bit, too - we really want to avoid panda. Thanks!

Why is an error page showing when searching our website using Google "site:" search function?
When I search our company website using the Google site search function "site:jwsuretybonds.com", a 400 Bad Request page is at the top of the listed pages. I had someone else at our company do the same site search and the 400 Bad Request did not appear. Is there a reason this is happening, and are there any ramifications to it?
