Need help with Google Webmaster Tools Errors
-
I have a lots of error on my Google webmaster tools under Search Appearance -> Structure Data
there are two sets of items
1- "hentry" and source is "Markup: microformats.org" and error says: "Missing: author | Missing: updated"
2-"hcard" and source is "Markup: microformats.org" and error says: "Missing: fn"
I am using WordPress.
Can anybody tell me how to fix these errors please.
Thank you

Id probably go this route for a simple solve. I believe you would want to remove or disable the current handicapped markup.

do you know what wordpress plugins can solve this issue

you would need to edit the single.php file.
look for:
<span < code="">
class=
"post_date">`'j F,Y'
); ?>`change it to:
<span < code="">
class=
"post_date date updated">`'j F,Y'
); ?>then for author look for:
</span <>``</span <>````<span < code="">
class``=``"theauthor"``>
</span <>``or<span < code="">
class``=``"theauthor"``></span <>``change to:
<span < code="">class``=``"vcard author"``>
<span < code="">
class``=``"fn"``>`or
<span < code="">
class=
"fn"``></span <>
</span <>`</span <>`````
preferably you would copy the existing parent themes single.php file into a child theme and make the edit there/e I should mention that it is common for theme creators to abstract out these functions into less comprehensible formats like this entry from the Avada theme:
| Personally either way I dont bother to fix these particular "errors". But that is mostly because authorship markup ranks nil in regard to what I am up to.Your other option is to delete or comment out the existing related markup and write new or utilize one of many plugins that will address this particular issue.````

Does having all client websites on same server/same Google Analytics red flag Google?
If you have several clients, and they are all on the same server, and also under ONE Google Analytics account, will that negatively impact with Google? They all have different content and addresses, some have the same template, but with different images.

10yr old Domain, Conflicting Message from Webmaster tools/Google search
This is the first time I have encountered this and am quite frankly a little baffled on how to proceed. We have some domains that are 10 years old, and do get some hits / impressions and they have a lot of content. So I redid the site in wordpress etc... Anyway, on Google the sites show up as www. , and on Webmaster tools,- the www. shows no impressions or anything, while the non-www domain shows up in google webmaster tools with data. The question is, if google displays the site as www. and webmaster tools shows data for non www. Which one do I proceed with, finding info on this has been pretty hard to do. Any input is appreciated, Thanks in advance:)

Somthing weird in my Google Webmaster Tools Crawl Errors...
Hey, I recently (this past may) redesigned my e-commerce site from .asp to .php. I am trying to fix all the old pages with 301 redirects that didn't make it in the switch, but I keep getting weird pages coming up in GWT. I have about 400 pages under crawl errors that look like this "emailus.php?id=MD908070" I delete them and they come back. my site is http://www.moondoggieinc.com the id #'s are product #'s for products that are no longer on the site, but the site is .php now. They also do not show a sitemap they are linked in or any other page that they are linked from. Are these hurting me? and how do I get rid of them? Thanks! KristyO

How to Block Google Preview?
Hi, Our site is very good for Javascript-On users, however many pages are loaded via AJAX and are inaccessible with JS-off. I'm looking to make this content available with JS-off so Search Engines can access them, however we don't have the Dev time to make them 'pretty' for JS-off users. The idea is to make them accessible with JS-off, but when requested by a user with JS-on the user is forwarded to the 'pretty' AJAX version. The content (text, images, links, videos etc) is exactly the same but it's an enormous amount of effort to make the JS-off version 'pretty' and I can't justify the development time to do this. The problem is that Googlebot will index this page and show a preview of the ugly JS-off page in the preview on their results - which isn't good for the brand. Is there a way or meta code that can be used to stop the preview but still have it cached? My current options are to use the meta noarchive or "Cache-Control" content="no-cache" to ask Google to stop caching the page completely, but wanted to know if there was a better way of doing this? Any ideas guys and girls? Thanks FashionLux

How to remove an entire subdomain from the Google index with URL removal tool?
Does anyone have clear instructions for how to do this? Do we need to set up a separate GWT account for each subdomain? I've tried using the URL removal tool, but it will only allow me to remove URLs indexed under my domain (i.e. domain.com not subdomain.domain.com) Any help would be much appreciated!!!

Do I need a canonical tag on the 404 error page?
Per definition, a 404 is displayed for different url (any not existing url ...). As I try to clean my website following SEOmoz pro advices, SEOmoz notify me of duplicate content on urls leading to a 404 🙂 This is I guess not that important, but just curious: should we add a cononical tag to the template returning the 404, with a canonical url such as www.mysite.com/404 ?
