Google places rejected
-
google has rejected a few listing i have for certain businesses, i have read the guidlines and I am well inside them.
It does say that if business name is changed you need to re-verify, but does not allow you to do so.
I think google have lost their way, they should stop building operating systems and electric cars and get their web site sorted out.

Hi Alan
Really sorry to hear that
I set up all my clients on different accounts so as to minimise risk of this type of thing.
What you could try (perhaps for a less important GooglePlace / client). Set up a new ID and then go in via a search on GooglePlaces and see if you can take over the listing. Worth a try perhaps.

I fixed all problems and requested to be re-activated, and it told me it will take several weeks.
Thing is, because a few listing had problems all my clients have lost their listings for several weeks

Sorry you are having troubles - I assure you, you are not alone. I too help companies.
I am glad it was of some help - as I say persevere - it is worth it, and thanks for the 'tick'
Let's know how you get along.

I just looked for the help link and noticed that my whole account had been supended, i need to fix all listing before reactivating. did not see it.
I guess you deserve to be marked answer, as you led me to find the problem -
THanks mate,
no i have not contated yet as i doubt that will be quick,
I i just answered Rob, i cant re-vwerify it has no link, yet others do. -
Sorry went off into a bit of a rant, I guess i wanted to know if others have expirenced this, and if they solved the problem.
This has happended only recently, and it has happened to many of my listings.
some opf them did not fit guidlines, but others do, one in perticular i can not find anything wrong.As i stated, it does say that a change of busines name need re-verification, but it does not allow me to do so.

Hi Alan
To change your business name (or address) you have to verify by mail or phone. (I am assuming you have received your pin number and are able to edit your details??)
Have you tried contacting Google using the 'help' link at the top right of the GooglePlaces page.
Like Robert says it isn't totally clear but I hope this helps.
GooglePlaces are great so perservere!!

Alan,
It is hard to tell hear if you are asking a question or not. If it is a question, give a bit more detail and maybe someone in the community can help. Our company does a lot with Places so would be happy to assist if possible.

What do people think of Google discouraging guest blogging
Google is recommending that websites nofollow any links from press releases or guest blogging. Do people think this is really the new standard and sites could get penalized for guest blogging with follow links? Is anyone changing their strategy after hearing this announcement? Where does this leave people who work in difficult niches (such as gambling)?

How can you change 'Google related searches'?
I am having problems for a few clients where google is suggesting negative related searches. I have had success getting Google suggestion (auto-complete) to suggest the keywords we want to be associated with the brand but the 'Searches Related to....' at the bottom of the search page is a big problem. Many of the terms are negative of sometimes defamatory and have absolutely not relevance to the brand. Even upon clicking on the related searches the pages Google displays are about other businesses. Can anyone suggest how to teach Google these term are irrelevant or any other suggestions as to how to remove them?

Google Will Penalize Sites Repeatedly Accused Of Copyright Infringement
Has someone filed a large number of DMCA “takedown” requests against your site? If so, look out. That’s the latest penalty that may cause you to rank lower in Google’s search results. It joins other penalties such as “Panda” and “Penguin.” We’re dubbing it the “Emanuel Update” in honor of Hollywood mogul Ari Emanuel, who helped prompt it.

Anyone drawn a Google Penguin?
Just a bit of light relief in the world of SEO. Hey SEO people are funny and can laugh as well 🙂 Our SEO team has had a go at drawing some penguins and the results are funny to us as they are so childlike. Anyone else fancy adding their drawing to the flicker group. This is just a bit of fun for us all! http://www.flickr.com/groups/googlepenguincartoons/

Google Panda 2.5 Update?
On Sunday 18th Sept I noticed a huge drop in our rankings for keywords that we were doing extremely well. Majority of the keyword SERP positions for our main targetted keywords were #1 and #2. These have all drop the bottom part of first page. Other new keywords we were targetting had climbed very well (some hovering just below top 10 and some in top 10 of Google UK SERP. These have all completely dropped off. Although analysing the site thouroughly (both on-page and link profile) it doesnt appear to have any issue significant enough to cause a penalty. From Monday 20th Sept (everybody back to work) the threads here http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Webmasters/thread?tid=76830633df82fd8e&hl=en&start=5760 and http://www.webmasterworld.com/google/4364389.htm seem to be buzzing over unexpected SERP drops and increases. By that I assume Panda 2.5 or at least some form of update taken/taking place? If anybody know of the reent heavy fluctuations which seem to have started in the weeken or have experienced unexpected positions increaes/drops, I would be very interested to hear/read from you. Cheers, Mo Raja
