Welcome to the Q&A Forum

does anyone have any examples of how to use rich snippets for events? There are so many different variables and the Google examples are in sufficient

so what is the best practice for getting Google to be able to read text that populates via JQuery in a carousel. If the text is originally display none, is Google going to be able to crawl it?

Are there any limits to what Google can crawl when it comes to JavaScript and text? Or is it always better just to hardcopy the text on the page source?

I see what you are saying...would you say we can rely on the reporting we get to be accurate then, or are you suggesting we double check using the keyword tool or a third party tool?

I hope you can see that i as the owner, find this a bit cumbersome to review when my SEO team presents me with things that don't reflect reality...and this is not the only time this has happened. . I don't know why Google changed things either...but its important to me to get accurate rankings for all our customers without having to use multiple tools. We manage many clients so we really planned on your system being our solution...if you have another recommendation please let me know. Thanks. And thanks for such a good reply.

How are we supposed to send ranking reports to clients if the rankings are constantly reporting false metrics

This is not the first time this has happened, but the rankings are WAAAAAAY off. What is the point of reporting rankings that are not accurate? What is the possible cause of this. Is there a solution? What is SEOmoz doing to improve their ranking programs.

Our client actually ranked #2 for "northern Virginia HVAC contractors" when moz had us not in the top 50!

How are we supposed to bank on information that is so consistently unreliable?

hello,

we are thinking about changing imageworksstudio.com to imageworkscreative.com

we have TONS of of pages and want to make sure that our Page Rank and Rankings are maintained. Are there any best practices or specific guides for redirecting for such a large site (which already has a bunch of redirects in place in the first place)

Thanks!

how is it that our website and our two competitors basically have the exact same link graph, except for at different levels?

my guess is they would have to be pretty longtail these days.

they are number 1 for seo company now/

woops forgot link to forum post - here it is!

http://forums.searchenginewatch.com/showthread.php?t=13037

a client is getting adwords campaign url's showing up high in the SERPs, like 2 spots under the original page.

The actual unique page is number one, and number three is the same page except the url is pulled from and adwords click

My guess is that yahoo is crawling adsense and mistakenly following it as a link. It's crazy that it ranks on the 3rd page though...

At the same time I have recently seen 25 pages deindexed in Google!

How could this happen - could these two be related. I read this forum post about similar things happening in yahoo to their site

Could this be a duplicate content issue (copyscape is showing no duplicate content) or are my pages getting indexed for some other reason?

SEO's are looking for you to convert, and not just be able to do SEO

Things that will help your case:

• being fluent in HTML and CSS would definitely help your case, as well as having fmailiarity with CMS's like wordpress and drupal
• Being an outstanding writer
• Having experience with AdWords (and maybe even adsense)
• Being a problem solver
• Having heavy industry involvement
• Know how to get leads from twitter (or at least get followers)
• Being an expert at onsite optimization
• being able to tell which strategies are going to be able to pan out in the short run and in the long run
• knowing your SEO tools in and out

I encourage you to try to code up your own site (even if it is extremely simple) and get it up on the web. Perhaps even put your resume up

Hello,

I have had an article consistently rank between 3-5 for the last two plu syears now. Recently it dropped down to 11-13. All I did was add my Google plus picture to it.

I have been hearing things along the lines of content rewrites. I am well aware of the fact that there are many duplicates of my article are out there. Is this the legitament problem though? Those articles have links to my sites.

I have even found other articles that link to my article that have been duplicated. So there's all sorts of duplicate syndication out there. Wondering if I should start asking people to take down my article.

Any info on recent Google activity on this subject?

What does everyone think about this article?

http://www.forbes.com/sites/kenkrogue/2 … l-content/

I tend to think its off base, Link building still works and there are tons of things that have to do with SEO that have nothing to do with link building...

I think its actually quite ridiculous and written by people that actually no nothing about SEO...kind of a lame attempt by Forbes, and if anything at all, this is just forbes practicing "SEO" with a link attraction post like this. Becase SEO, is NOT dead

people know what link building is, but have they ever done it - and has it ever actually helped them? I think there a lot of factors that go into it.

-How influential are you on your industry?
-What kind of SEO do you do?
-Do you do SEO for yourself, or for your clients?

• A Gazzilion more things to consider

So many different angles at SEO, hard one to pinpoint, but people that have been there and done that. An expert would definitely be someone that is making money for themselves off of their own SEO expertise. Beginners and Intermediates fall short of that.

just do whatever it is the business does. Then use Yext or Whitespark &  localeze to get your citation game tight. Go to yext right now and use there free citation grader tool. You will not regret it!

Hello, I was just wondering pretty much what the difference between a static HTML page for your timeline is and what the apps are. Is this something that is going to be wildly popular. What should one focus on when creating these static pages or custom apps?

It seems like outreach and insights is going to be big for Timeline as well. What are the best practices for switching over in a timely manner while staying somewhat slightly ahead of the game?

Why wouldn't you submit to multiple high ranking content directories sites? If a few pick you up great....

Are you worried of a dupe content penalty? Are you using C tags to avoid this?
