Hyperlinks under description in organic listings ...
-
If you search on Google for yosemite rentals the first organic result that shows up is www.redwoodsinyosemite.com.
How are they able to get the links under description: Agent Login - Our Gallery etc ..

That makes sense. Thanks a bunch.

This will take a little time, perhaps a few months. In my experience it is not necessarily linked to SEO, more to traffic. Therefore if there is decent traffic without good serps you should achieve sitelinks shortly.

Even better, here is a Q&A post about it: http://www.seomoz.org/q/has-anyone-found-a-way-to-get-site-links-in-the-serps

There's no way to force their hand, but you can do some things to make it more likely. Here is Google's help page about sitelinks. And here are some articles I came across about things you can do to help your site get sitelinks:

Thanks John. My client is in the #2 position (Scenic Wonders) and wants the same thing for his results. Is it possible to force Google's hand with these?
Thanks.

These are sitelinks. Google finds pages on your site it thinks are appropriate for them, and then adds them. You cannot add them yourself. Once they're added, you can block them from within Google Webmaster Tools (On the Site configuration > Sitelinks page), but only Google can add them.
If you run a Adwords campaign, you can configure them yourself for when your ad appears in the top spots.

Canonical question for cross-listed product listings
We have products that are listed across multiple categories. This results in muliple urls for the PDP, for example: mystore.com/shirts/shirt-101.html mystore.com/shirts/pink-shirts/shirt-101.html They make use of the canonical tag and point back to only one product listing url, however Google has indexed both urls in some cases. Has anyone else run up against this and does anyone have advice on how this should be handled?

Phone number in Meta Description - Is it a good idea?
Is it a best practice to place your company's phone number in the meta description for a page? Are there any rules as to what is acceptable for meta tags? One of our competitors recently started doing this but for some reason I think it might be against Google's guidelines. They (competitor) is also engaging in web spam, plagiarizing our content, and other black hat techniques so I'm leery of anything they do.

Phone Number In Meta Description
People are more likely to call us, than email us. However, if they're using a mobile device, there's a click to call button on that site. My question is this: google does not include our phone number in our meta description. I could try to get the description changed, but it doesn't seem like it would make that big of a deal for just the desktop site. Am I missing something about the importance of the phone number on a desktop site? Any experience with this situation? Thanks, Ruben

Translating Page Titles & Page Descriptions
I am working on a site that will be published in the original English, with localized versions in French, Spanish, Japanese and Chinese. All the versions will use the English information architecture. As part of the process, we will be translating the page the titles and page descriptions. Translation quality will be outstanding. The client is a translation company. Each version will get at least four pairs of eyes including expert translators, editors, QA experts and proofreaders. My question is what special SEO instructions should be issued to translators re: the page titles and page descriptions. (We have to presume the translators know nothing about SEO.) I was thinking of: stick to the character counts for titles and descriptions make sure the title and description work together avoid over repetition of keywords page titles (over-optimization peril) think of the descriptions as marketing copy try to repeat some title phrases in the description (to get the bolding and promote click though) That's the micro stuff. The macro stuff: We haven't done extensive keyword research for the other languages. Most of the clients are in the US. The other language versions are more a demo of translation ability than looking for clients elsewhere. Are we missing something big here?

Directory Naming & File Organization
We're redoing an entire site and are going to reorganize, and link to the site's pages by directory instead of page name. So instead of:xyz.com/services/fixingtvs.phpit will be:xyz.com/fixingtvsAt first I was thinking 1 index.php page per directory but that will make content management really confusing with a bunch of files with the same name.Anyone have a better idea?Thanks,Matt

Google crawl rate almost zero since re-launch, organic search up 50% though!
We're confused as to why Google's crawl of our site has dropped hugely since our new site went live. The URLs of almost all pages changed, and were 301d to the new site. About 20% of our pages were blocked by robots.txt for the re-launch. The re-launch has been great for organic search, with hits up about 50%. Yet our new content is taking a lot longer to get indexed than before. Our KB downloaded a day according to webmaster tools are well down, as is time spent downloading a page. Any ideas as to why this is?i7hwX.png
