Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Thanks Dana!

It was a female brand i believe. Does anyone remember which it was or have a link?

Gracias!

I think you got it just right Miriam! Thanks.

We also have a page on the site with about 20 client testimonials. Would it be appropriate to somehow place review schema on that page instead of republishing the Yelp and Google Reviews?

Just a little confused with the "rating scale maximum" and "rating scale minimum" fields in schema and how you would properly use those....

I guess there are a few questions wrapped up in this one.

Thank you!

Review your web logs too. You might have to supply those to Google anyway if their model can't detect anything.

A little confused by this. We have some on site reviews, is all I need is to reference that? What if we don't have "products", only "services"......should i be leveraging Places/Yelp reviews for this? Anyone add review schema for services?

Our A/B test is actually delivering at about a 70/30 page view rate. 70% in favor of the original version and only 30% of the new. We are sending 100% of our traffic to this homepage test.

Has anyone else experienced this? There seems to be a lot of folks experiencing this.....anyone know why?

I didn't think you had to transition anything manually. But clarification around this topic would be great.

You might see their short term gains, but they'll come back down to earth. I had something similar happen...competitor using pretty cheap, spammy methods built a lot of exact anchor text links....got them up short term, but about 2 months later, they plummeted.

Remain focused on your quality long term strategy and don't let this derail you. Sounds like they'll just run themselves into the ground.

I love it! Although, 5'10 and 195, who runs at least 25 miles a week...my BMI says i'm still fat nasty.

happens all the time for me.

Sure.  While you'll have a link from 1 external RD, you'll still benefit from additional links from that same RD.

Hey Chris-

Have you tried Google Insights? http://www.google.com/insights/search/

It's pretty good for narrowing in on specific geographies. The only real issue is lack of suggested keywords using this tool. But if you know some you want to compare, this works great.

I"d go with Majestic SEO here. They have a pretty fresh index, gets updated just about daily i believe.

Like you mentioned, you could either use robots.txt, or submit  a URL removal request through webmaster tools. I've used both methods.

Thanks Dana!
