G is for Google

So if you haven't heard already - Larry Page released a statement regarding the newly founded company: Alphabet.
Crazy to think that the name hadn't even been used before for one but most importantly throughout his write up - there doesn't seem to be much clarity on what it is going to accomplish.
What are your ideas/thoughts moz heads?

Sounds to me it's more like a PR thing + a organisational restructure to get business wise not in trouble with laws etc.

As people say,
"Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin have never been known for thinking small."
So, let's see and enjoy... Expecting to see some interesting developments in upcoming months.

Interesting, it sounds like more of a way to control brin... and give some accountability to their rogues ideas... like google glass.. which was alot of hype and an unmitigated pr disaster. Larry.. "We liked the name Alphabet because it means a collection of letters that represent language, one of humanity's most important innovations, and is the core of how we index with Google search!" Page said. "We also like that it means alpha- bet (Alpha is investment return above benchmark), which we strive for!"

Getting indexed in Google Scholar
Hi all! We have a client who publishes scholarly research as a highly regarded non-profit. Their Publications aren't being indexed in Google Scholar 50% of the time and when they are, Google is pulling random stuff from a PDF vs. from the html page. Any advice on best practices is enormously appreciated

Why rich snippets have disappeared in Google search results ?
Hello, Few weeks ago, we have implemented a snippets strategy in order to increase our ranking for our blog posts. That was successful and our results were showing up in Google. But today, every single snippet has disappeared. We go back to a simple search result, without snippets for us or for our competitors. It seems that Google has delete rich snippet for specific keywords because for the generic keywords (for exemple "inbound marketing definition" in our case), there is still a snippet result. Do you know if Google has changed snippets parameters for keywords with low search volume ? Thank you !

Search results vary in chrome vs other browsers even in Incognito mode: Google's stand?
Hi all, We use incognito mode or private browsing to check the Actual results which are not impacted by previous history, location (sometimes), etc. Even we browse this way, we can see the different search results. Why would this happen? What's Google's stand on this? What is the actual way to browse to get the unbiased results for certain search queries? I have experienced that Chrome will rank our own websites bit higher compared to the other browsers even in incognito mode. Thanks

Adwords doesn't seem to have any information about Adchoice and Adsense, as far as I can see, is placing adverts on my site which is not what I want.0 -

Deleting a duplicate google places listing
Hi i currently have duplicate Google places listings for a store. One of the Google Places listings is mine (which is correct) and the other is a listing which someone else put up (which is wrong). Which is currently sending customers to the wrong location. I tried to claim the listing by clicking: If you own this place, claim it and edit it directly Which takes me to this page: This Listing Is Unavailable You may only access listings that you own. If you created this listing with a different Google Account, please log in to that account and try again. If you've deleted this listing, you may create it again in Google Places. Is my own option at this stage to leave a comment with additional details use: IMAGE ATTACHED And select 'this is a duplicate listing'? I would imagine this would take sometime, and i need it changed as soon as possible. Any suggestions? screenshot_133.jpg
