Do Structured Data Errors Hurt Your Rankings

Thank you so much! You're amazing!

Ok, this should fix your problem. Just add the "updated" that is bolded below. That portion of the code will look like this:
%3$s
/**
- Prints HTML with meta information for the current post-date/time and author.
- @since Twenty Ten 1.0
*/
function twentyten_posted_on() {
printf( ( 'Posted on %2$s by %3$s', 'twentyten' ),
'meta-prep meta-prep-author',
sprintf( '%3$s',
get_permalink(),
esc_attr( get_the_time() ),
get_the_date()
),
sprintf( '%3$s',
get_author_posts_url( get_the_author_meta( 'ID' ) ),
sprintf( esc_attr( 'View all posts by %s', 'twentyten' ), get_the_author() ),
get_the_author()
)
);
}
endif;

I found the functions.php file, but not the content.php. I didn't see the code mentioned in the functions.php file, but could it be under another name in here?
Thanks,
Ruben

It's probably in content.php or functions.php which are located in the theme folder of your wordpress installation and are probably only accessible via ftp.

It is a wordpress site, and I get the fix. However, how do I replace it? I included a screenshot of all the different choices under editor, but I'm having trouble finding it. I thought it would be under post.php, but it's not there. Any ideas?
Thanks so much for the help!

Yeah, I actually just noticed that I had this issue as well. You just need to add "updated" as a class so the html for the date on your http://www.kempruge.com/suv-driving-tips/ blog should end up as:
June 19, 2014

I assume your site is running Wordpress Ruben? This is quite common - you should be able to find your fix here. Snippets do cause a lot of problems, especially when plugins are in use. See how you get on with that.
This error occur when Google Snippet cannot find date it was published or last updated.To solve this find,**
<span < code="">
class=
"post_date">`'j F,Y'
); ?></span <>`**
and replace it with<span < code="">
class=
"post_date date updated">`'j F,Y'
); ?>``</span <>```-Andy

Structured data: Product vs auto rental schema?
Hi mozzers, If you are rental company, is it useful to add both the product and auto rental schemas or auto rental schema on its own should just be enough? Finally, on the auto rental schema, you have to add an address. Could we just add a city instead of an entire address and avoid receiving a warning message on the strutured data testing tool? Thank you.

Structuring sentences after keyword research
Hello, Once I have done your keyword research is there way to write other than "naturally" which is what everyone says ? Could someone explain what they mean by naturally. For example let's say my keyword is Piedmont bike tour, some of the words I find through my research are cycle, routes, piedmont, barolo, wine etc... Is there a way to integrate those so that google understands what I mean. I imagine that google parses sentences for s reason and imagine that if I only sprinkle those words like in the sentence below it won't work. Piedmont bike tour, cycle, routes, piedmont, barolo, wine all this is cool ! Thank you,

Hello, I have a US phone number on my website because all my clients are in the USA but a Swiss address on my website because I am based in Switzerland. I also registered my website on google my business with a Swiss address. I noticed that I rank fairly well (on the 1 st page for many keywords in Switzerland when searching from my location (Switzerland) on google.com but when I connect to adwords (choosing USA) or with a proxy in the USA to check my ranking I see myself nowhere on the 1 st page.Why is that ? is it because I have a Swiss address ?Is the fact that I have a Swiss address and I am based in Switzerland hurt my ranking in the USA ?Thank you,

Inverse variation in Rankings between countries
Hi, Our ranking between India and USA is varying inversely like....when we improve in India...drops in USA and vice-versa. And the possible correlation I have from my end is: We have reclaimed some links and removed same. It happens at both redirects and removal of those redirects. When we reclaimed some links, we improved in India and dropped in US. And when we removed these redirects, vice-versa. Any idea on this? Please share. Thanks, Satish

Site Not Ranking- No Reason Why
I have a client with a HUGE website who should be ranking for it's competitive keywords. No penalties, or bad links. Old domain. Not ranking for anything. Client has a huge AdWords spend and my theory is that it's not ranking organically because of the AdWords spend. I can't think of anything other reason. Anyone? Thanks. The keywords I'm trying to rank this client for aren't even competitive.

We have two different websites with the same products and information, will that hurt our rankings?
We have two different domains, one for the UK and the other for the US, they have the exact same products, categories and information. (the information is almost the same in 400 products) We know that Google could recognize that as duplicate content, but will that actually hurt our rankings in both sites? Is it better if we create two completely different versions of the content on those pages?

When is it worth re-structuring your site?
I recently started working on a site that is 8 years old and the currently URLs/ site structure is not SEO friendly. We are concerned that in re-structuring the site, we may loose our rankings. Has anyone ever completely re-structured their site? Was it worth it?
