Product Schema & Google Guidelines
-
Hi
We have product mark up on our site, data-vocab rather than schema.
I can't see it showing in Google SERPs, but when testing it appears to be correct. Are Google still selective with what schema they show for a site?
Thanks

You can even have it appear, be totally valid, then suddenly disappear at some point with no visible reason. By now I think of schema.org as offering google extra data for inclusion - after that it is hope and pray...
This happens quite often to my own review site which aggregates reader reviews - right now, no single aggregate review is displayed. Breadcrumbs did prove rather weird, too: sometimes schema.org works fine; at other times it does not work at all and you have to include different markup - then it works almost instantly. (Google admitted problems there at some point; does not make it less weird, though...)
Also, the "common standard" of schema.org time and again seems less common and less standard than it is oftentimes presented. (e.g.: 'till shortly google's testing tool declared isPartOf and hasPart as invalid for CreativeWork/Book ... which is, frankly, stupid. The new tool accepts it.)

Hi there.
Schema is pain in terms of showing up. You can have it all right and wait for a year and still not seeing rich snippets.
There was quite similar discussion here: https://moz.com/community/q/reviews-not-appearing-in-serps-even-with-schema-markup
Hope this helps

What should I do if same content ranked twice or more on Google?
I have a Bangla SEO related blog where I have written article like "Domain Selection" "SEO Tools" "MOZ" etc. All the article has been written in Bengali language. I have used wp tag for every post. I have submit xml site map generated by Yoast SEO. However I kept "no index" for category. I know well duplicate content is a major problem for SEO. After publishing my content Google ranked them on 1st page. But my fear is that most of the content twice or more. The keywords are ranked by post, wp post tag and Archive. Now I have a fear of penalty. Please check the screenshot and please suggest me what to do. uRCHf yq7m2 rSLKFLG

Showing Different Content To Members & Non-Members/Google and Cloaking Risk
How do we safely show logged-in members/Google one type of content on a page and logged out/non-members another kind of content without getting slammed for cloaking? Right now we do this thing where we show Google everything on the page, but new visitors partial forum comments with the pitch to sign up and see full comments. So far, we have not gotten into trouble for this. The new idea is to show non-members a lot of marketing messages and one kind of navigation and then once they sign up and are logged in, show different or no marketing messages and a different kind of navigation. How do we stay out of trouble with this? Where is the cloaking line drawn? It's got me kinda nervous. Thanks... Darcy

Does google have trigger words it does not like?
If we mention words such as supplement or lesser word cosmetic are they a trigger to anything Google side such as a more through look at the website or such as I can see sex ect being one. I am not selling the above but we do sell the stickers for them (not the sex ones) so just airing on caution on weather to have a page talking about them on the site.

Dropped Out of Google and Bing
I am helping with a site that at one time I had on page 1 for Google/Bing. Site started to slip in rankings, then someone else did a makeover of the store and botched things by renaming pages, having errors in pages (multiple head/body), mismatch page names from sitemap, etc. Site slipped to page 4/5. I righted things, fixed duplication using canonicalization, made some other changes. Now site is gone completely from Google/Bing for desired keyword. No penalties. Site still shows if do search on domain name. Site is www.plussizeplum.com (plus size lingerie, sorry), keyword target is plus size lingerie. Anyone have any clues, tips, etc on why we fell off the face of the earth? Page Authority/Domain Authority are both comparable to most of the page 1/2 sites for same thing. Thanks for any advice.

How do I optimise my products for best results?
Hi We have a number of products we want to optimise for example. Barbeque Boss Double Oven Glove, Black When performing keyword research, there are a number of generic terms such as, black oven gloves, barbeque boss and so on. Now i can write the page and optimise for these keyword phrases but I am not sure this is the right way about going for it, particularly if i have several products in the range that are "black oven gloves" or " double oven gloves" How so i best structure my meta tags, meta description and descriptions? Should i just use the product title and optimise around this in the hope Google displays our page in any search queries containing words in this product title? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks Craig
