Welcome to the Q&A Forum

No, there's nothing linking to the page from around that date The dates are only appearing on pages with videos though, so that is presumably the cause, but I can't quite figure it out either.

Yeah it is, now that you mention it is on all them. That must be the problem. Any easy way to fix this? I'm not as clued in to this schema business as I should be.

Here's an example: http://www.kenwoodtravel.co.uk/florida/holidays/

Sure, the domain is Kenwoodtravel.co.uk and the particular keyword that the particular page it's cropping up on is the Antigua landing, main keyword: "Antigua holidays". The problem is occurring on a few other pages as well.

Yep, generally used for videos.

Anyone have an idea why dates might be appearing in search results for a small number of my pages and not others? There is no date on any of the pages themselves and nothing in the back-end CMS indicating dates should appear.

Some of the dates (presumably from when the snippets were originally created) are over a year old and make all the information look terribly out of date.

Any ideas?

Generally I use the title tag to tell people what is in the pic, if it's a picture of a funny dog I call it "funny dog". The alt tag can be a bit more general and should say what the article itself is about. without necessarily using a keyword, (though it can contain the keyword). So if the article is about pet food in London, the alt tag could be "London pet food" or Great pet food London" or some variant on that.

Personally I usually don't make my images clickable.

I think the best way to ensure an SEO friendly title for your images is to change the name of the original image to the more SEO friendly one before you have uploaded it, thus not having to bother with redirects (which are best avoided as much as possible anyway) at all.

If the images are already there and you can't change the title for whatever reason, is it possible to re-upload them with the new title? It's generally advisable to be as transparent as possible and keep things as simple as you can, so I would personally stay clear of the redirects, but it probably wouldn't do a whole lot of harm.

Hope this helps!

I think when you are adding images to your site, you are setting them to Link to: Current Url rather than Media File or None. If you go back and edit your old images and make sure they are linking to the image or have no iink at all, I think you should be fine. Hope this helps!

I had a similar issue with G+ (in our case it was duplicating the page title). If I remember correctly the problem was to do with a plugin we were using on Wordpress at the time. The simplest solution we found was to put each G+ post through Hootsuite, which allows you to set the title and description of the post before you post it.

Maybe check if your plugins need a quick update or if you have activated any new ones recently that might be causing the problem. Hope this helps!

Are the two keywords simply keyword variants (eg "Holidays to Florida" and "Luxury Florida Holidays")? If so then it doesn't really matter, you should still rank for both in similar-ish positions.

If they are two completely different keywords, with different meanings, then it will be much harder to pull off. If you use a couple of H1/2s maybe put the second keyword in a H2 and in the text itself.

Have personally not found global directories to be the best way of building links. In terms of directories, getting a link on a good quality site relevant to your industry is much better. For instance, if you are working with a travel company get links from tourist boards.

Increasingly though it seems to me it is getting harder to actually get good quality links from relevant sites without paying for at least some of them.

I think the main thing to remember with links is quality over quantity. Half a dozen good links is far better than a hundred average ones.

Link building is tough at the best of time, so the best of luck with it!

Personally I think it's to do with the amount of time you can dedicate to each site. If the accounts are just there for the sake of it and aren't really being updated or filled with unique content then obviously it doesn't seem particularly worth it. The simple solution might be to just give it a try. If you find you have the time to update them regularly then great.

Also, if you are going to add anything else I would go with Tumblr as it is easy to use and very simply updated. Its users don't expect long blog posts like Wordpress - a few sentences and maybe a pic will often do.

Good luck!

Presumably you mean for "SEO purposes" rather than "seomoz purposes"

If that's the case, the simplest answer is just to post interesting content relevant to your company. Don't always advertise your products directly on your social networks. It's about interacting with customers and not trying to sell to them. Constantly attempting to sell to followers on social networks might lead to a few short term sales but in the long term will hinder a growth in your network. Social networks are a great way to grow brand awareness over time rather than making a load of quick sales now.
