How to get gold star reviews on SERP's
-
Hello
I have always wanted to know: How to get gold star reviews on Google in search results! Please look at the screenshot to see what I am talking about. Please can someone share with me the knowledge required to make this happen - it would be perfect for my e-commerce website!

Hmmm, depending on the product and number of reviews I would either have a database holding your reviews so you just add to the DB and it updates your dynamic variables per scheme.
If it is for a brand and the same aggregate review is over the entire site you could maybe have a config file that references a single dynamic field which will update the entire site, this method may not need a DB.
You may have to do some leg work in the first instance to make the figures dynamic. I tend to use PHP and MySQL for this purpose.

Good answer Tim
Do you know a way that the schema markup will be dynamic and adjust as our reviews increase? We average around 5 positive reviews a week, so editing 60 pages can be time consuming.

Also you can use data highlighter in Search Console

Hey XDunningX,
In order to get Gold stars (rich snippet) in your serps you need to apply a specific set of Schema data to the architecture or loaded elements of your site products. This can either be by microdata
itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/AggregateRating">
Rated 3.5/5
based on 11 customer reviews **Or via JSONPLEASE SEE FULL EXAMPLES ON SCHEMA.ORG, THESE HAVE BEEN STRIPPED A TOUCH.
Where I woork we have linked up a series of products with the product schema and then associated a series of aggregate reviews (average star rating for lots of reviews) and individual reviews left by our customers that are associated with the product. You can also apply reviews to Brands, Services, Events, Creative work, Offers, Organisations and Places.
The schema website supported by Google and Bing, outlines a series of examples for you to implement.
However, please bear in mind, that even if you have implemented the schema correctly sometimes the search engines will elect not o show it. I feel however it is worth the effort to give you the chance.
Have fun implementing.**

Site appearing and disappearing from google serps.
Hi, My website is normally on page 2-3 on google consistently. Over the past month it has been appearing and then completely disappearing from the serps. One day it will be on page 2, then the next day completely missing from the serps. When i check the index it seems to be indexed correctly when doing site:mysite.com. I don't understand why this keeps happening, any experience with this issue? It doesn't seem to be a google dance as far as I can tell. When my other sites dance they typically just go up or down a few ranks for a couple weeks until they stabilize. Not completely fall off the search engine.

Non-indexed or indexed top hierarchy pages get high PageRank at Google?
Hi, We are creating some pages just to capture leads from blog-posts. We created few pages at top hierarchy like website.com/new-page/. I'm just wondering if these pages will take away more PageRank. Do we need to create these pages at low hierarchy like website.com/folder/new-page to avoid passing more PageRank? Is this is how PR distributed even now and it's same for indexed or non-indexed pages? Thanks

Do the referring domains matter a lot in back-links? Google's stand?
Hi, It's a known fact about quality of back-links than quantity. Still domains are heavily different from links. Multiple domains are huge comparing to multiple links. Taking an average, how much does 'number of referring domains" boost website authority? I am not speaking about low quality domains, just number of domains including which are irrelevant to the topic or industry. Thanks

SERP and SEO Moz ranking
Until a couple of months ago the predicted SEO Moz ranking for a specific keyword was fairly close to what I actually experienced with my website. However, since then the correlation has not been good. For example, according to SEO Moz I am ranked #1 for a specific keyword with google.ca and google.com yet my site actually shows up consistently at #3 for that keyword. Has anyone else noticed this divergence?
