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!

Should I block google indexing "search.php"
My question is I have a search page on our website , you can search by date, number of people staying and so on, I am just wondering should block this in the robots.txt ? Because we have pretty URL'S already for searching by county and searching by towns. I cannot see any benefit of having e.g "search/search.php?sp_dateFrom=16%2F12%2F2015&sp_dateTo=23%2F12%2F2015&sec_drop%5B%5D=727&spesh_town_id=764&q=&occupants=5&bedrooms=3&submit=SEARCH#search" indexed. Would I be correct in doing this ?

Is the HTML content inside an image slideshow of a website crawled by Google?
I am building a website for a client and i am in a dilemma whether to go for an image slideshow with HTML content on the slides or go for a static full size image on the homepage. My concern is that HTML content on the slideshow may not get crawled by Google and hence may not be SEO friendly.

Duplicate Page Titles in Crawl Errors (although Google is rewriting in serps ??)
Hi Im working on a client/project and crawl report is showing thousands of dupe page titles In the case of the blog/news section its aprox 50 since aprox 50 posts and they all have the same meta-title: "Brand News | Brand" as opposed to: "Title Unique to Page/Topic/KW Relating to Content | Brand" Since these are the main content pages we want to rank (in addition to the main site category pages) then i have instructed dev must prioritise populating these pages meta-titles with the actual post/article titles, as per the latter version of the above example. (I should mention that i have requested they fix all dupe titles but main content pages are the priority). Whilst this will reduce the number of dupe titles in crawl error/warning report which is a good thing, is it actually likely to increase the ranking of these news/content pages given that Google does seem to be rewriting the titles correctly in the serps based on the page content ? Many Thanks in advance for your input

My text does not show up in Google
Hi there. I've got an urgent question I hope someone can help me with. I've made a website (www.tonyharrismakingcents.com.au) with a few content pages. I don't get a lot of traffic. All my pages are scrawled and I don't see any errors. However, when I copy an entire paragraph and Google it, it does not show up in the search results. This makes me believe that the pages are not scrawled correctly. Only when I search for the exact paragraph by putting it between "", the website shows up on the results page. What can be the reason for this? Thanks for your help..It's much appreciated.

Google's Page Layout Algorithm Change
Hello Everyone, Google says they've implemented this change because they are answering the complaints of users who have to search for actual content after they've clicked on a result. They go on to say users want to see content right away. Now while most of this talk is about ads, I wonder if this will also apply to websites that are image and flash heavy above the fold with very little content. I am working on a few auto dealer sites where 99% of the content above the fold are flash banners and images. Below all of this noise you can find about 200 words of text talking about their dealerships. I'd love to know everyone's thoughts on this...Does the new page layout algorithm change apply to only ads or to images and flash as well? Thanks
