We have faceted navigation for the desktop version, so breadcrumbs are overkill. In the mobile version all of the faceted nav disappears, but we show the breadcrumbs.

We just aren't sure how marking up breadcrumbs functions with responsive if they only show on one version.

I am working on a site that has responsive design. We use faceted search for the desktop version but implemented a style of breadcrumbs for the mobile version as sidebars take up too much screen real estate.

On the desktop design we are putting a display:none in front of the breadcrumbs. If we mark up those breadcrumbs and they are behind a display none, can we still get the rich snippets? Will Google see this is cloaking?

In follow up, is there a way to markup breadcrumbs in the or somewhere else that is constant?

Thanks guys, We definitely mark up entities that have a chance of showing rich snippets, so far though I haven't seen any of these for purely article markup.

I guess that answers my question though, probably not worth the implementation costs at this time.

I have a website that has similar pages on a US version and a UK version. Currently we want Uk traffic to go to the US, but the US domain is so strong it is outranking the UK in the UK.

We want to try using rel alternate but have some concerns. Currently for some of our keywords US is #1, UK is #4. If we implement rel alternate, will it just remove our US page? We don't want to shoot ourselves in the foot and lose traffic. Is this worth doing, will it just remove our US ranking and our double listing?

Any anecdotes, experiences or opinions are appreciated. Thanks.

I know things like location, pagination, breadcrumbs, video, products etc have value in using schema markup. What about things like articles though?

Is it worth all the work involved in having the pages mark up automatically? How does this effect SEO, and is it worthwhile?

Thanks,

Spencer

So the ratio is MozTrust to MozRank, but what is this good for?  What can I deduce from this and what can I use it for?

We solved it, our web programmer wrote a program to scrape all of our posts and turn them into a format that imported into wordpress.  As far as the redirects we kept the page titles the same and did a sitewide 301 that sent them from blog.example.com to example.com/blog/

Although I would still like to grab Richard's php script for doing this in a more efficient manner in the future.

It depends on what kind of videos they are but youtube trends a lot on views and posts your video on things that are related.  Make sure to relate them to popular topics, use correct tabs, and promote them as best you can all at once, when youtube videos are trending up the will be ranked a lot higher.

The one instance I feel submitting to multiple sources is ok is if the sources are actual people.  Typically if you submit a press release to a journalist or a relevant source they will not use the exact copy you gave them, but quote or cite it.

In the meantime it might not be a bad idea to add a warning or just take it down.

Many of my clients release newsletters and other peices of content qualify as press releases.  I have been wondering if people find that the press release sites such as PRleap or PRweb are useful and worthwhile?  If so, which do you feel is the best?

Is there any research on this?  I am planning to record my results from these sites and perhaps make a Youmoz post in the future.

Casey's answer pretty much nails it, here are a few specific tricks I use to make the process faster though:

Using the moztoolbar do a SERP overlay on the sites for the search term to easily get a feel for the difficulty of competition based on domainrank.

Do a whitespark report to see how many citations the other sites have compared to your site.

Do getlisted.org search on their sites/your sites to get a basic idea of how involved the other sites on the local search are.

Run on page optimization reports for the terms, local and not, to see if you can gain a relevancy advatnage.
