Schema.org on Product Page showing strange result if you post url in google
-
Hi All,
We have implemented Schema.org for our products and currently if you put the url in google, the results showing up are not the meta description but some of the schema.org content along with some other rubbish at the bottom .
Do you know if we are doing this wrong as in GWT it all looks okay and says it fine?
You can get the url from here -http://goo.gl/aSFPqP
Any assistance, greatly appreciated.
thanks

No problem, Moz can highlight duplicate content for you. Run a crawl diagnostic and review the report.

Many thanks Cyto.
And thanks for finding the duplicate content page as well. I never knew it existed so that's another thing i need to investigate.
Many thanks

Sometimes google will change the description and title depending on the search term. I believe this is what is happening. You searched for the URL and it changed the meta description.
here's a screenshot of your page when I searched site:bestathire.co.uk 1648
As you can see, your meta description is appearing correctly. Google's Structured Testing tool is also showing the schema
What I also spotted on Google is duplicate content indexed in Google

Hope that helps. You can also tag your page using Google Webmaster tools >>Search Appearance>>Data Highlighter.
Hope that helps

I see what you mean - it is a bit messy. It appears to be using the ALT tag for the logo as the first part of the description?!
It's something I would need to spend time on to try and get to the bottom of I'm afriad - however, you might find someone else with more schema experience can diagnose in a second. You may have to wait to see if someone else chips in a little later.

Hi Andy,
Here's the image - http://imgur.com/Y6uiKln
The problem is actually with what is being displayed on my product page in google. You can see from the image that whilst google has included some of the information from schema.org, it doesn't show the prices and also have added what looks like rubbish at the bottom of it.
Many thanks
Peter

Hi Peter,
If I search for "Best at hire" or "bestathire", both come back in Google absolutely fine. Can you post a screenshot of what you see?

My last site crawl shows over 700 404 errors all with void(0 added to the ends of my posts/pages.
Hello, My last site crawl shows over 700 404 errors all with void(0 added to the ends of my posts/pages. I have contacted my theme company but not sure what could have done this. Any ideas? The original posts/pages are still correct and working it just looks like it did duplicates and added void(0 to the end of each post/page. Questions: There is no way to undo this correct? Do I have to do a redirect on each of these? Will this hurt my rankings and domain authority? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks, Wade

Mystery URLs showing in Analytics - All 404s
Hi Guys So we have a whole load of mystery urls showing in analytics .The urls are completely not relevant and have somehow been created However - when you click on the URLs - they all go to 404 pages - pages not found. The website is a travel website but is showing pages like /overcome-fatigue-during-mesothelioma-treatment/ in analytics. Webmaster is not showing any of these pages - but analytics is showing traffic for them??? My initial thought was that it was a spam URL injection - but they are not pages. They don't exist Our database is fine, WP admin seems fine - none of these supposed pages have been created on WP - so why are they showing on analytics as having driven traffic??? None of the urls are indexed on Google. Its a mystery!!!! Can anyone help? Has anyone seen this before????

Google + and Schema
I've noticed with a few of the restaurant clients I work with that Schema isn't contributing at all to their SERP -- their Google + page is. Is there any way to have more control over what Google is pulling to help make UX better? I.e. showing photos of the restaurant without a logo, etc.

Weird Page switch for a keyword in Google Rankings
Over this past weekend Google switched the page which usually showed in search results for keyword benchmarking. It went from from http://www.apqc.org/benchmarking to http://www.apqc.org/benchmarking-portal/osb. Also on Google the Rankings for the keyword 'benchmarking' sank from 15 to 47 for http://www.apqc.org/benchmarking Just looking for some theories or ideas or anyone that has had this happen to them.

Why Google scrambles/change our product page titles? And descriptions too?
Here is an interesting issue we are noticing lately: Google is always more scrambling and changing the title of our product pages in the SERPs results. Here is an example: Keyword: "bach arioso sheet music". We are down at the 6th spot, and the shown title is different from what's defined inside the TITLE tag of that page. And that appears often for other keywords/product pages. Why's that? How can we control that? It is hard for us to optimize titles and test CTR and other metrics if Google is showing them differently to the users. Similar issue with the description tag: sometimes Google instead of showing to the users the description tag contents, shows part of the text taken from the page even though the searched keywords are included both in the title and the description tag, and so I can't find justification to show text taken from the page instead... it is quite difficult to understand the motivation beyond all this! Any thoughts are very welcome. Thanks! Fab.

Any way to make my page on top of results again?
Hello Everyone, For a long time now I've had many of my website pages ranked on first page of results for some popular searches. On friday I noticed the traffic coming from google dropped dramatically and I realized that I was not on first page anymore. My SEO is focused for Google Spain. Here are some examples: http://msn-messenger.hispazone.com/ This page was on position 9 (first page) if we perform the search "Descargar msn" on Google. Now it's on page 3. http://http://adobe-acrobat-reader.hispazone.com/ This was position 5 (first page) for the search "descargar adobe". Now it's also page 3. Any suggestions? Best Regards.

Will Google Visit Non-Canonicalized Page Again and Return Its Page's Original Ranking?
I have 2 questions about canonicalization. 1. Will Google ever visit Page A again if after it has been canonicalized to Page B? 2. If Google will still visit Page A and found that it is not canonicalizing to Page B already, will the original rankings and traffic of Page A returned to the way before it's canonicalized? Thanks.
