Where has Google found the £1.00 value for the penny black? Is it Google moving beyond the mark-ups too?
-
Hi guys,
I am curious, so am wondering something about the Penny Black SERPs.
Apparently Google shows a value of £1.00From where does it come from? It's not the value
The Wikipedia page hasn't any mark-up about it, actually it has the Price value mark-up of 1 penny
Among the rare stamps, also the Inverted Jenny shows a value
But it's clearly taken from USPS and it's the cost of a new version of this rare stamp
Indeed, the mark-up matches that value
I've been looking on-line for a new version of the Penny Black, but couldn't find anything.
The only small piece of information that I've found to correlate one pound with the Penny Black is on the Wikipedia page, but the point is: is Google able to strip those information from that piece? It's not a mark-up, it's not a number and mostly it's not a simple sentence like "The penny black cost was of £1.00" It reads "One full sheet cost 240 pennies or one pound sterling".Is it Google moving beyond the mark-ups too?
Thanks,
Pierpaolo

Yes, Google is going well beyond mark-up with the new v2.0 answer boxes. They're trying to extrapolate answers directly from indexed content. This is essential if they're going to expand the Knowledge Graph, but it's also an aggressive move, and they're not all that good at it yet. Unfortunately, there's no great way to control when/how/what they show.
So far, all of these answer boxes seem to come from page 1, so you have to have enough authority to rank on page 1. After that, though, it's a pretty crude matching process to on-page keywords. The matching is contextual (since the Hummingbird update powered more of that), but it's still pretty basic keyword/concept matching.

Sudden increase in backlinks with "Link Reclamation": Any risk from Google?
Hi all, We failed to redirect the links of our old website versions to new website pages for years and we are planning to now redirect all those old links to new in the process of link reclamation. This activity may increase the back links suddenly or steadily. If there is sudden increase in backlinks, will it hurts us? What's Google's stand? Thanks

Loss of 1,000 links has negatively affecting rankings
Hey there, One of the clients we're working with has lost about 1,000 or so backlinks over the last two or three months - mainly old article and directory links - and it has massively affected the site's search rankings. The site was ranking for pretty much all of its keywords in prominent positions on Google (mostly first page) but has now seen positions dive to 50, 90 and even outside of the top 100. Is there any immediate action we can put into place to help restore our rankings?

Google +1 link on Domain or Page?
Since its release, I've seen Google +1 being used across an entire domain but only reference the root href in the code snippet. At the same time, you see other sites use +1 more naturally with the button being specific to the page you're on. What's your take on this? To clarfiy, do you add: or .. on each page.
