How to properly do reviews with Rich Text Snippets
-
I am trying to find out the best way to do this.
Do you use hreview?
Thanks,
-
Yes. You can find a helpful example of markup for multiple reviews at the bottom of the schema.org Review documentation.
Another resource that might be helpful is this SEOmoz post from last year: The Lowdown on Structured Data and Schema.org - Your Questions Answered!

If you had a testimonials page with 10 of them on there. Woudl you do them all in the schema.org markup?
-
hReview is just another way to markup a review. Specifically, it's the microformat way to markup a review. Here's the hReview specification: http://microformats.org/wiki/hreview
Google still supports microformat markup, but I recommend using schema.org markup because it is supported by Google, Bing, and Yahoo! (and it is the standard that those search engines are emphasizing for the future).
Once you've implemented the markup, use Google's Rich Snippet Tool to test if the markup is functioning correctly.

Thanks. I had used that code before and it didn't work. Maybe I had something wrong. Why is the difference with using HREVIEW?

Hi Dave,
Here's a great resource for generating rich snippets for reviews: Schema Creator for "Review"
That page includes the official Google video about rich snippets for reviews, helpful pointers to Google help pages, the schema.org documentation for the Review object, and a code generator for review markup.
I hope that helps

Google Search Console "Text too small to read" Errors
What are the guidelines / best practices for clearing these errors? Google has some pretty vague documentation on how to handle this sort of error. User behavior metrics in GA are pretty much in line with desktop usage and don't show anything concerning Any input is appreciated! Thanks m3F3uOI

Adding Reviews to JSON Product Schema Markup
Hi everyone, Below is an example of some JSON product schema markup I'd like to integrate into my site. My question is, what do I need to do to incorporate the individual reviews on a product page as well? I've tried a few different things but I can't get it to validate.

I broke Google! (random snippet appearing in non-personalized search)
Hello all, so either I broke Google or Google doesn't know how to index my page properly (onradpad.com/paymyrent). If you search "pay rent with credit card", whether you're logged in to Google or not, you'll see a snippet from our signup process (which is js) right under the ad slot in the serps (Awesome! You're signed up!) and it will repeat where my meta data should be. It's been like this for well over a month now and I cannot figure out how to get rid of it. Additionally, if you search for the branded title of the page "pay with radpad", it pulls language that's not on that page (perhaps from somewhere in the js signup form). Though if you search for "pay rent with radpad" you'll see what my meta description is supposed to look like in the serps. Any ideas as to what the heck is going on?

Is "commented out" text still read by the SEs?
A site I reviewed was showing up in Google rankings for key phrases specific to a city, however the page that was showing up had the 'city' key phrases commented out. Does Google still read and utilized commented out text? Or is it more likely that the page in question got indexed before the key phrases were commented out and it's just still appearing for the related search queries?

Does the use of sliders for text-on-page, effects SEO in any way?
The concept of using text sliders in an e-commerce site as a solution to placing SEO text above or in between product and high on ages, seems too good to be true.... or is it? How would a text slider for FAQ or other on-page text done with sliding paragraphs (similar but not this specific code- http://demo.tutorialzine.com/2010/08/dynamic-faq-jquery-yql-google-docs/faq.html) might effect text-on-page SEO. Does Google consider it hidden text? Would there be any other concerns or best practices with this design concept? faq.html

CSS Hiding Text - Does this matter to search engine crawlers
Hello, I'm working on a site and a developer is using CSS to mask crawlable links below. Then, java, advanced search links go on top of this. So, if you disable Java, but have CSS enabled, you don't have a lefthand nav. With both CSS and Java disabled you have a fully crawlable website. Is this a red flag? I understand a user without java would have a problem since most people don't disable CSS. But, is this a problem for search crawlers? Thanks!

Replace Header Text With Image
I have a static website that I would like to retheme. I have the mockup, and its spliced. The website holds nice rankings right now, and I want to keep them in place. The one thing that will change with this new design is the header will no longer be text, but instead an image. Is there a way to ensure googlebot still sees the H1 tag header exactly how it is now but use an image for the header instead? I dont want any blackhat tricks that will get me banned. Just wondering if there is a simple way to have googlebot see the header as text (not ALT img txt) so the site does not appear to have changed at all. (It hasnt, I only am changing the graphics and colors of background, and header image for better branding.
