Fetch as Google
-
Are there any pros or cons with using Google fetch and submit?
I realise Google will likely find it of its own accord in due course but I have found it may take a couple of weeks if at all.
Fetch and submit seems to speed this process up, sometimes anyway.
-
Google will recrawl the page much quicker and is more likely to update it's index based on any changes you made to the page (or index it for the first time).
As Ria said, there is no downside.
-
As a frequent user of Fetch as Google, it's handy to get some pages indexed as quickly as possible into Google or to update how Google is seeing a page. I've seen absolutely no negative effects from speeding up the indexation process like this, but there is a monthly limit. (But, unless you're going HAM on it, you'll likely never reach this.)
-
So you mean you will see the results of efforts taken quicker but other than that no other impact?
-
it will speed up indexation (usually indexed same day) but won't boost your rankings

Telling Google SERP's my correct currency.
Hi, I'm having a problem with Google SERP results showing my currency as USD, when it should be CAD. An example of a page with this problem is - http://www.absoluteautomation.ca/fgd400-sensaphone400-p/fgd400.htm - can anyone see where Google is getting USD from on there? I don't see it anywhere in the coding. Thanks in advance!

Google directs people to the wrong page on my site.
My site is split up into sections about different services my company offers. My problem is, when someone does a search for one of those services, My site's main page comes up rather than the page devoted to the particular service they were searching for. What can I do to make the pages about a specific service rank above my main page?

90 days for Google
Hi, I'm new to Moz so still getting a feel of the forums. If my question has been answered then please point me in the right direction. I have noticed with many SEO companies they advertise that they can get you on google front page in 90 days. I'm not really interested in their techniques but more of why google takes 90+ to even appear. I have been working on my site for over a month, adding content, building good links, social media, blogs etc... but have not even come close to appearing in the top 50 pages for google. Is this normal? Is it just a matter of time before it starts to appear? Also, I have checked my backlinks and there is about 8 links that are coming from random pages in the US and some from China and india which i have no idea of. I tried to visit on of the sites but it had malware. I added all these back links to google disavow so hopefully that will fix it. Could that be the reason google would not even list my site? Thanks... Rick

Blog Comment IPs Seen By Google?
I have a page on a client's site for testimonials (a dental practice). The page is actually a post on a Wordpress install where customers can enter their testimonials as WP comments. In an effort to encourage more clients to give more testimonials I was considering setting up an iPad or other tablet at the receptionist's desk where patients would be able to enter their successes as comments on the page. If I made sure the patients all used unique names and emails in the Wordpress comments, would Google still see all the comments are from the same IP and view this as suspicious?

Google and display:none
Hi Guys, i want to know what you think about solution which i have to switch content in tab on my page. Here: http://www.exprestlac.sk/beta/produkt/vizitky i have some important content in tabs, which are switching via javascript. So when you click there on O produkte next to Ceny it will show you product description. My problem is that in source code when page is loaded i have this: Product description.. And after user click on O produkte javascript remove that display:none and show content. But Google will see only display:none as i think. Can i get penalty from Google? Will it index this text? Thanks for your suggestions how to resolve this.
