WMT Fetch as Google
-
Is there any benefits in using 'Fetch as Google' in WMT and then submitting for indexing?
I have a page which I'm trying to get to rank so far with no luck is it likely to help or could it hinder?
Please speak from experience not hearsay
Many Thanks

Hi,
Internal linking can be a fantastic way to build internal page authority and to give more emphasis to particular pages.
In a simple way, here is how it works...
-- Create amazing article related to the page you are trying to rank for
-- High up in the copy, create a target anchor text that leads to the page you are trying to boost. Make the anchor text the same / very similar to your desired phrase - but make sure it makes sense.Have a read of this article over at eConsultancy. This goes through it in a lot more detail and will show you exactly what you need to be doing.
I personally have had some astounding successes with this. The article you create should be better than the norm though. You want something that will get shared socially and hopefully, result in some backlinks too.

don't under estimate the power of social, local & video!

Apart from link acquisition any other ideas on how to build authority?
-
Always helps, as smart as Google is at a basic level it still uses links as a measurement, for now at least.

Thanks for your input - Interesting, Have batted it round social media a couple of times and just done a "site:" search and is indexed.
So must be an authority issue, the page has been round a few weeks and I'm fairly confident the pages in reasonable shape.
Maybe start a bit of quality link building?

Getting a page to rank is not the same as getting a page to be indexed
Fetching as Google will not increase your rankings for anything it will just indicate any errors in the page that Google with have crawling it.
You can do a quick Google search to see if the page in question is not being indexed by using the search term - "site:yourdomain.com/page.html" if it doesn't show up in the results then it is not being indexed.
If it is a new page it might take a while to appear in organic search.

They do the same thing so there is no difference in that sense, Fetch as Google is helpful that it will show you can errors or blocked resources. submitting for Google is not the sole way to rank a page and really its only the very start. A third option is you can submit your site though social media and let it be found this way, it can be helpful because its a bit more organic.

Google is showing product rating of 1-star in search results when average rating is 3.7 - 4 stars
When searching for the brand name "SteriPEN", the #3 listing on the SERP is for one of SteriPEN's "Adventurer Opti" product at REI.com, On the SERP for this search, the REI listing for Adventurer Opti product displays showing the product as 1-star based on a product review from 2010. What we don't understand is the fact that the product history has a 3.7 to 4.2 rating on most websites. Why would a product with so many reviews and established history have 1 review that drives the 1-star rating from such a prominent retailer? Makes no sense. Any suggestions as to whom we might be able to contact for help with this is greatly appreciated. edit?usp=sharing

Does Google give any (negative) weight to .info domains?
Hi, All! We're working with a client on setting up a support blog for their site (not hosted on-site because it's a related topic, not directly about their business). We're thinking about a few domain possibilities, but for some of the ones we'd like the .com is already taken. .info (as well as others) are available, and the client is interested in using a different TLD, but I'm shying away from it because of the concern that: a) people will look at it more suspiciously (exactmatch.info? must be spam) - but maybe that's just because I'm an SEO b) does Google have anything against exact match domains with endings like .info, .net, etc.? (I know there's never any guarantee that the exact match domain will continue to hold its weight in the algorithm at all, but taking that as a given for now - and we are planning on putting decent quality original content on it). Thanks in advance for the input! Aviva
