Author snippet image in results, question!
-
Hi,
Quick question really, I can see how a Google+ profile picture showing up in the results can increase CTR and even trust but would this be a no no for a normal website?
I mean if you had a website which offered personal training, so a brand rather than an individual would you not use this snippet?
I've seen some website, even ecommerce sites using this tag to just increase their CTR.

Thanks for the reply,
Yeah I actually think that personal training example was a really good one.
I think your right as well, just not sure if it would work for ecommerce, services I do though.

Test, test, test. No way to know for sure without testing.
My guess is that it would still increase CTR and trust as there is an image of a real person (hopefully CEO or someone else influential) that would stand out in SERPs. For personal training, I think it would work really well seeing as there will be an actual person working with whomever signs up for the training sessions.

Question Regarding RSS Feeds
A site I have been asked to take a look at has an RSS feed on there home page. The site offers Austrian mortgages. But the RSS feed is in the side bar and it is drawing information for Austrian News. I personally would of said that if it was to draw anything then it should be more accurately related to the site, or am I wrong? I also have seen that he has installed RSS Bomber, now it just submits his blog posts to a lot of RSS aggregators each time he makes a post. Is this a bad thing as I am not sure. I am thinking it cant be good as it is effectively automated but I would like others opinions on this. Thanks Paul

Website title question
Say you have a website url of a rather competitive keyword phrase, would it be beneficial for me to go ahead and name my site title the same as the url? And also should my site title go through every page, or should i consider having slight variations throughout the pages? for example: page title | site title or page title| slight varation of title on sub page? **edit - to further expand on the question a bit also, if my google places has the company name on _there - would it be effective to go ahead and use the company name in my site title? _ _Also if i have the main keyword in the breadcrumb as the home, does that effect my SEO credibility if it shows up on all the pages? _

I have a direct question about file structure.
This question is about a new file structure and SEO friendly URL's. Does a file name make a difference? I have a direct question about file structure. Our old site was formated with a URL of http://rousechamberlin.com/about_us.aspx our new site is structured http://rousechamberlin.com/AboutUs/ no file no extension. As the SEO guy of the company and not the programmer my feeling is this is killing us. Does anybody have any thoughts on this?
