The use of Markup language
-
Hi,
We were thinking of adding markup language to our site. We have been reading about it to understand the actual benefits of doing so (we have seen many brands are not using it, including moz.com).
So I have two questions:
1- Would you recommend using it for our site? www.memoq.com
2- If yes, would it be better to create a snippet of code for our home page as an "organization" and then different snippets for our product pages as "products".
Looking forward to your comments,
-
Yes I have read almost every Google guideline and post about it. I guess I will delete the description from the organization as that text is not found as such in the page.
Thanks for the answer and for the help during these days!!

Hi Kirsten,
I have one last question related to structured data. We have decided to use JSON-LD as it is the preferred form of markup language by Google. Now my question is regarding the standard of the code we are about to insert.
This is a part of the code we have created using Google testers tool:

Creating the piece for the code for the "Organization" using the tester tool from Google was pretty straightforward, however, I now have one more question, this time a little more conceptual:
When we started to create the snippet of code for our product, we were thinking of adding items such as "nam", "logo", "description", "url", "offer" (where we would include price), but also "reviews". I am not sure this is the best approach, as I would naturally relate reviews more with hotels, hostels, bars... but no necessarily with translation software. Nonetheless, review for translation software are everywhere, and it is very frequent that translators.
Do you have any advice? Is there any blog or article were I can read more about it?
Thanks,
-
Hi,
Like Kirsten already mentioned, I would definitely go with structured markup. The best thing around these these is JSON-LD to do this so you can separate your structured markup from the rest of the content. In this case I would also re-use the Organization information on your Product pages but also go indeed with the Product Schema. But what you can do as well is make sure that if you have review they're marked up with the Review Schema as well.
Best of luck!
Martijn.

Hreflang for multple countries but single language
I'm working on a site that has implemented hreflang. The site is all in English but has slight differences and breaks down to separate domains, so example.co.uk example.eu example.com the hreflang implementation targets specific countries per domain. This was tested using http://flang.dejanseo.com.au but Webmaster Tools has thrown up errors. For example, **URLs for your site and alternative URLs in 'en_GB' that do not have return tags. **But every page refers back.Any ideas what's going wrong?

Should we re-use our old re-directed domain for a new wesbite ?
Hi One our clients has an old domain that has been redirected to another website of his. Now he is asking us to build a new website for that domain and direct it back. This is new website will be very relative to it's own old content and where it has been re-directed recently. I guess the only benefit of this would be taking advantage of the age of this domain. Do you recommend doing that or getting him a new domain ?

Using Rel=Author with Multiple Contributors
I have multiple contributors who provide content on our page. I have created an authors page that shows the picture and bio of each author along with their Google+ profile link. Each profile link goes to the authors respective profile where I have had them verify themselves as contributors. My question is will Google see each of these authors and attribute the rel=author tag correctly (even though they are listed on the same profile page) or will Google only take the first person I point to for Rel=Author?

Does anyone use Ning (Custom social site)?
We just got a custom Ning site developed and the second we moved it to our domain, we lost almost all of our rankings in Google. So, we sign up for a SEOMoz Pro account and within a week we see that we have over 6,000 errors and warnings on our site. Duplicate content, duplicate page titles and pages with too many links. Is anyone using Ning and successfully maintaining 1st page rankings in Google? Seems to me that we need hundreds of fixes and modifications in the code of our site to fix all of these errors and get Google to take our penalizations off.
