TripAdvisor multiple listings
-
Why do certain sites for example TripAdvisor rank for their multiple international sites e.g TripAdvisor.co.uk, TripAdvisor.com, TripAdvisor.fr, TripAdvisor.de etc for a English search phrase ?
From my view point they are just spamming the index with the same content. These searches are performed on google.co.uk

I find the whole tripadvisor SERP thing highly annoying as an SEO and a search engine user, I don't know what Google are thinking of with their allowing Tripadvisor to be 1,2,3 and even sometimes 4 and more on the SERPS like this, it is NOT what the user wants, nor the hotel. They need to spend time simply on a Tripadvisor update! How much of online search is travel/hotel/restaurant/attraction related? Must be immense.
I want to see Panda,Venice, Pengiun, Tripadvisor....

Indeed...
- The Page 1 position 2 page is http://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Hotel_Review-g186338-d224752-Reviews-Mina_House_Hotel-London_England.html
- On Page 2 (Malaysia) http://www.tripadvisor.com.my/Hotel_Review-g186338-d224752-Reviews-Mina_House_Hotel-London_England.html
- And on page 3 (France) http://www.tripadvisor.fr/Hotel_Review-g186338-d224752-Reviews-Mina_House_Hotel-London_England.html
...which is of course frustrating...same content/page but different TLD's.
You may find this YouTube video from Matt Cutts helpful in explaining why they treat similar content of different TLD's as not being duplicate content (in the case of teh Page 2 listing)...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ets7nHOV1Yo&feature=youtu.be
...and the Page 3 one is because Google has not yet been able to figure cross-language duplicate content...
Not an answer but perhaps the explanation you were seeking...

Search on google.co.uk for "mina house hotel". First page 1 Tripadvisor listing, look page 3 there are TripAdvisor.fr, TripAdvisor.com and TripAdvisor.de. Surely they shouldn't be showing for .co.uk and a english search phrase

Hi Aspirant
Couple of quick questions first before I can tailor a reply...
- can you provide an example of a keyword phrase that generates this (and copy the Google search results URL)
- is it the same content turning up or different pages
Let me know and we can maybe shine some light on your query...

Schema Markup for property list
My Client has a Real Estate directory with many landing pages for specific properties and locations, example: https://www.laguiainmobiliaria.com.mx/casas-en-venta-queretaro/ This landing page is a list of New Houses in Queretaro. The properties appear dynamically, because this landing pages works trough a WP Query. So the list changes every week. We are preparing each listing to have a Product Markup as trulia. But what would be the appropiate markup for the list of properties? An itemlist markup seems imposible because the list is dynamical, so maybe Markup as an article? in the description: List of houses in Queretaro?

Schema Mark up - Product Listing Pages
Hi I know you can add product schema to a product page, but can you add mark up to a product listing/category page? If so, which one would you use? I saw the item list mark up but didn't think this was relevant. Thank you

301 from multiple domains to one single webshop
First of all i want to introduce myself. My name is Jennifer and i am a webshop owner from the Netherlands (we sell plants/herbs products) I have a very important question (and i can`t find a clear answer on the internet). So i hope someone can help me, At this moment me and 4 other friends own each a seperate webshop. We all started the webshops 5 -7 years ago and work all in the same business. (plants/herbs). We talked last week, and we want to make one big company and combine all 5 company`s. All 5 webshops have a huge pagerank, lots of organic traffic and very good incomming links. We registered new domainnames and want to redirect the 5 "old" domains to one new domain to pass over the Google juice. Our new company is a multilanguage webshop and each language has its own domain. (for example) (www. plantsandherbs example .nl)

(www. plantsandherbs example .de)
(www. plantsandherbs example .es)
(www. plantsandherbs example .fr)
(www. plantsandherbs example .com) Does it harm us if we 301 redirect all the 5 "old" websites to the new webshop? And what is the best way to redirect the "old" webshops to the new one? I am afraid of a Google penalty because it maybe looks like we bought some domains to pass the juice to the new project.0
