How does one submit data to the Knowledge Graph?
-
I'm working with a very reputable open source civic data compiler who'd like to give their data to the knowledge graph for it to be used. Does anybody know where I should start with this?
Or, do you think it's possible to e-mail Google and ask to be included in the Knowledge Graph? The company that owns this compiler will likely have connections to them.
Thanks!

That's true. This compiler is very reputable as well, but it's in a not super popular niche, so bloggers aren't going to be writing about it a ton. It's reputable, but undiscovered.
From my understanding, Google would like all sorts of reputable information for the KG. The question is, with things that aren't as popular, how does one achieve this?
Thanks.

Wiki didn't call up Google and ask to be there, they earned it by proving their authority - links, citations, etc.
-
Right, but the Knowledge Graph already leverages authoritative sources, such as Wikipedia, so why can't this be one more source?
-
Not a chance. This works the same way as other organic rankings, strictly based on the algorithm.

Months ago it was still possible to create entries in Freebase ( https://developers.google.com/freebase/ ) that could be reuse in Google Knowledge Graph. Now it's completely closed and you have to create webpages, perhaps with schema in order to be added to Knowledge Graph.

Hi,
There's no way to simply submit content to the knowledge graph. For content to achieve knowledge graph status, it has to have proven to be a reputable, trustworthy source of said info. This is usually accomplished by the same methods you would use for typical SEO efforts; prove your content's worth with social proof, attract high quality links, become a thought leader in your niche, etc.

Is the image property really required for Google's breadcrumbs structured data type?
In its structured data (i.e., Schema.org) documentation, Google says that the "image" property is required for the breadcrumbs data type. That seems new to me, and it seems unnecessary for breadcrumbs. Does anyone think this really matters to Google? More info about breadcrumbs data type:

I want to Disavow some more links - but I'm only allowed one .txt file?
Hey guys, Wondering if you good people could help me out on this one? A few months back (June 19) I disavowed some links for a client having uploaded a .txt file with the offending domains attached. However, recently I've noticed some more dodgy-looking domains being indexed to my client's site so went about creating a new "Disavow List". When I went to upload this new list I was informed that I would be replacing the existing file. So, my question is, what do I do here? Make a new list with both old and new domains that I plan on disavowing and replace the existing one? Or; Just replace the existing .txt file with the new file because Google has recognised I've already disavowed those older links?
