RE: .Create and implement rich snippets
Hi,
you can start with this helpful tool: http://schema-creator.org/organization.php . Once you have filled the text fileds you're ready to go. You can add rich snippets wherever is necessary. You may use it for company's adress/informations for example. And then test it: http://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/richsnippets
I used them on this page (in the footer): http://www.posamarmizanon.it/servizi_posa_lucidatura_marmi_graniti.html

RE: Bad Duplicate content issue
Thanks Peter for the reply!
What do you mean by "bad internal links" ?
I'm well ranked so based on your suggestions what I have to do is to set up properly the rel=canonical tag and rel=alternate, right? I'm still bit scarred about duplicate content report in the SEOmoz campaign. 2.700 warnings is kind of a big deal.

RE: Yesterday our site had a page rank of 5, today not ranked.
Can you post the url of your site please? Did you make significant changes lately like redisgn ?

RE: Bad Duplicate content issue
Thanks Raj! I will for sure re-write the dynamic urls into static and that's a starting point. Take for example these pages:
http://www.grappa.com/eng/grappa.php/argomento=grappa_in_italy/idsezione=1/idpagina=13
Do you suggest in this case to use rel=nex, prev ?
I thought about using rel="alternate" for the multilingual issue, but now my site redirects automatically from www.grappa.com to www.grappa.com/eng/index.php. is that bad for SEO? Should I put rel="canonical" to www.grappa.com ?
Many thanks

Bad Duplicate content issue
Hi,
for grappa.com I have about 2700 warnings of duplicate page content. My CMS generates long url like: http://www.grappa.com/deu/news.php/categoria=latest_news/idsottocat=5 and http://www.grappa.com/deu/news.php/categoria%3Dlatest_news/idsottocat%3D5 (this is a duplicated content).
What's the best solution to fix this problem? Do I have to set up a 301 redirect for all the duplicated pages or insert the rel=canonical or rel=prev,next ?
It's complicated becouse it's a multilingual site, and it's my first time dealing with this stuff.
Thanks in advance.
