The use of Markup language
-
Hi,
We were thinking of adding markup language to our site. We have been reading about it to understand the actual benefits of doing so (we have seen many brands are not using it, including moz.com).
So I have two questions:
1- Would you recommend using it for our site? www.memoq.com
2- If yes, would it be better to create a snippet of code for our home page as an "organization" and then different snippets for our product pages as "products".
Looking forward to your comments,
-
Yes I have read almost every Google guideline and post about it. I guess I will delete the description from the organization as that text is not found as such in the page.
Thanks for the answer and for the help during these days!!

Hi Kirsten,
I have one last question related to structured data. We have decided to use JSON-LD as it is the preferred form of markup language by Google. Now my question is regarding the standard of the code we are about to insert.
This is a part of the code we have created using Google testers tool:

Creating the piece for the code for the "Organization" using the tester tool from Google was pretty straightforward, however, I now have one more question, this time a little more conceptual:
When we started to create the snippet of code for our product, we were thinking of adding items such as "nam", "logo", "description", "url", "offer" (where we would include price), but also "reviews". I am not sure this is the best approach, as I would naturally relate reviews more with hotels, hostels, bars... but no necessarily with translation software. Nonetheless, review for translation software are everywhere, and it is very frequent that translators.
Do you have any advice? Is there any blog or article were I can read more about it?
Thanks,
-
Hi,
Like Kirsten already mentioned, I would definitely go with structured markup. The best thing around these these is JSON-LD to do this so you can separate your structured markup from the rest of the content. In this case I would also re-use the Organization information on your Product pages but also go indeed with the Product Schema. But what you can do as well is make sure that if you have review they're marked up with the Review Schema as well.
Best of luck!
Martijn.

Using Sub Domains For Back Linking
Hey Guys! I'm building links for my page and happened upon the "Hoth" link building page. I tried it out and it built some no follow links and some links on several sub domains. I know that, when back linking via guest posting, no follow links do not juice my site. My question is, does building links on a subdomain from another company juice my site? If it's not helpful, could you explain why? Does it juice my site in any way? If you could link sources, I would really appreciate it. Also, do any of you have input on Hoth or platforms like it? Are they worth it? Thank you!

Thoughts on different base URLs for different website language?
Hello mozzers, Currently in the process of setting up a new website for a new entity. I was wondering what your thoughts were on using different base urls for different languages. Example: ABCgroup.com -> English
Technical SEO | | yacpro13
groupeABC.com -> French I've never done this before; I've been one to prefer using a subfolder structure. However, for this case, the expected visitors are truly split between 2 languages, and therefore having a base url in the visitor's language is appealing. Would this approach be detrimental if all pages have a proper hreflang tag? Thanks!0 -
Best use of an old domain?
I've discovered that my clients website used to have another domain name, which they still own but don't use. It's doing OK considering its not been used for a few years - almost 6,000 backlinks showing on Majestic. So what's the best way of using this for SEO? I'm presuming some kind of redirecting? A simple redirect of everything on the domain to the new domain index page? Or going trough all the old pages and redirecting them one by one?

2 sites using 1 CMS... issues?
Hi, We are working with a client that has 2 sites in the same sector. They are currently on separate servers, with separate blogs, images galleries etc. Both sites rank combined for over 200 terms. IF we were to "combine" the sites on one CMS, with one IP, two separate front ends, one blog stream, one image gallery what do you think the SEO impact would be from this? We had an issue with another client whose sites were too close and we had to separate in order to get them both to rank. Further to this we want both sites to now have their own https certificate however this wouldn't be possible if combined. Interested to hear thoughts on this. Thanks
