Google Rich Snippet
-
So i have been implementing rich snippets for work and all has been good until now, As you can see below the meta description has all of a sudden included the review date.
The review date is the only date on the page. Any ideas what could be causing this?
Thanks

David,
I can see the frustration. It would appear to a searcher on Google that the page for this class hasn't been updated since 2013 because Google is using the Schema markup you have around the review, which is:
A quick fix that could help until you get this figured out would be to change the published date on the review to a more recent date in 2015.
I do see that you have placed the "datePublished" markup within the Schema.org/review container, but Google seems to be interpreting it not just that way, but also as if it was on it's own to describe the entire page. In other words, it seems to be treated like this: https://schema.org/datePublished .
I see that you have itemtypes for an offer, dates, reviews... but not one for the page itself. Perhaps just below the HTML header of that page you could define the web page's publish date using this itemtype: https://schema.org/WebPage.
It would would begin with:
itemscopeitemtype="http://schema.org/WebPage">And would contain:
<meta< span="">itemprop="datePublished"content="2015-01-01"> (or whatever the real publish date is)</meta<>And would cover the entire page down to:
Another option could be to go with JSON-LD instead.

Still no luck guys, 2 dates are still shown

Just realised i am using https://data-vocabulary.org/Review and not schema.org so i will have to change it all and wait and see thanks

Thanks I will give that a shot tomorrow and fetch and submit it and let you know my finding
Thanks

Hi there
My bad, I misread and didn't see the second date. That's a good question, for some reason it looks like the crawlers are considering that the date of the page itself.
I would try changing that line of code to **itemprop="datePublished" content="2013-12-12" **- this would be more in line with what Google/Schema puts forth as best practices.
Try that and see if the date changes on your snippet.
Hope this helps! Good luck!

Thanks for the reply
Yeah that date is the markup for the review my question is why is it showing 2 times in the organic add when the date is only for the review, it is showing in the meta description also
Thanks

Hi there
You have a markup on that date at line 519...
Is this what you wanted it to be? You can use the Structured Data Testing Tool using your URL to see what markup Google sees. Just click "Fetch URL", paste your URL, and click "Fetch & Validate". What Google finds will populate.
Hope this helps! Good luck!

Dissapeared from Google - Urgent
We are new to the whole SEO thing and could be described as total numpties as we have hidden away from it, scared of what it means and what might happen if we open that can of worms. But after seeing a 25% drop in visitors over a year, and a continued fall, we thought we better try and get our heads around what we need to do to improve our chances on google. Consequently we have signed up to MOZ and are exploring its crawl results and trying to learn and action things. Today we noticed that we have dropped fairly completely from Google for many of our top key words. We are based in Italy,our site is in Italian and we only target Italy. Our homepage is http://www.shoechic,it and two of our top keywords that have dissapeared are: "scarpe sexy" & "Scarpe Pleaser" We would love to hear if anyone can throw some light in why this dramatic change may have taken place and what we can do to address it. Many thanks in advance for anyones help and advice. Philip

Will changing the title of previous topics affect google results?
Hi all, just had a quick question about google results. I help run a sports forum and currently all our topics as seen as "Forum Name • Topic Title". I think that links to topics would appear much more user friendly if I switched the naming to "Topic Title • Forum Name". My question is, would this change affect previous links in any negative way or will google simply update past topics with the new naming convention? Thank in advance.

How to make google not index quotes from other sites?
Hey guys, I have a site where we post quite a lot of info from other sites. We don't want google to de-index our pages because parts of it are quotes from other sites. What would you use to make it so Google sees it's a quote from another site? Or to just make Google not index the quote? Thanks!

Google and display:none
Hi Guys, i want to know what you think about solution which i have to switch content in tab on my page. Here: http://www.exprestlac.sk/beta/produkt/vizitky i have some important content in tabs, which are switching via javascript. So when you click there on O produkte next to Ceny it will show you product description. My problem is that in source code when page is loaded i have this: Product description.. And after user click on O produkte javascript remove that display:none and show content. But Google will see only display:none as i think. Can i get penalty from Google? Will it index this text? Thanks for your suggestions how to resolve this.
