Images being ranked
-
I have a client who is concerned about the performance of his images ranking on Google Images. I have taken a look at the obvious things like - alt tags, title tags , file names.
I am not sure why he is struggling quite so much to get his images ranked well as the sites he is competing against and who are already ranking are a very poor quality.
This is his site - http://www.ukweddingfavours.co.uk
Would really appreciate your feedback and I can dish out some good answers.

They support them all as all major search engines have agreed on http://schema.org/
They may not display them all at this moment, but i would mark up the best fit using http://schema.org/ for the future.
Remeber Bing and Yahoo also use them.

The required properties to be listed are found here:
http://support.google.com/webmasters/bin/topic.py?hl=en&topic=21997My website has many profiles of aged care facilities with photos and so I'm looking for a way to display these photos on Google.
Trouble is I can't seem to find the right rich snippet type that Google supports.
The organizations snippet looks fitting however it doesn't include an image within it's property types.

They don’t always display them, I think that some industries have more of a chance of getting displayed then others, but as time goes on I believe more and more will be used. But it is not just being displayed that is the advantage. Imagine someone searching for a phone, you may have a page with the word phone on it, you may have a image of the phone, a description of the phone and its features. The search engine does not understand what all these things are, it does not understand that altogether they are a product. But if you mark them up using rich snippets it can see them as a product with a image, description and the rest. When some one searches for a phone what would the search engine rather display to them.

Interesting stuff. Just a few questions:
How many itemprops are needed in order to be listed by Google? I counted 10 one one of the pages.
In your experience how long would it take before Google picks up on the changes and displays them?
-
If you want to see an example on how to mark it up, see bottom of page http://schema.org/ImageObject
if you want to see it in action, see results with images and ratings
-
Ok great do you know of any examples sites using this method already ?
-
i must say they are nice images.
I would mark them up as rich snippits.
eaither as a image object
or a image belonging to a product object
Its a fair bit of work, but worth it, you can test them with google rich snippits tool

Why my keyword rank fell down while I didn't do anything wrong?
Hi! I just got ranking results for the past week, and I am a little bit confused about what I saw. Two weeks ago, I optimized one of my website's page for the keyword "viking appliance repair in Los Angeles" (was #43 before), and one week later I found it on the second page of Google (ranked #21). I continued working on other pages thinking that all I need to do for "viking appliance repair in Los Angeles" to get it ranked even higher is to gain high quality inbound links. But for some reason updated ranking results I got today show this keyword fell down and now ranked #51. Could you please tell me why that might happened? What affected this keyword performance while I didn't do anything with it in between that much?

Do pages with fewer headings rank higher?
I've found several good quality, high ranking pages with excellent content, 500 to 1000 words. These pages are made by people who obviously know what they're doing. These pages only have one headline the h1 at the top of the page. Some of the sites use CSS div boxes and other things to make text look like a heading but do not have h2 or h3 tags or bigger font size. Could it be that a single headline tells Google that this page is about a single topic and that several sub headings muddy the water and so reduce page rank. Do multiple headings or subheadings affect page rank or is it just a personal style choice?

Finished On Page optimization and slipping in rankings
Just finished on page optimization for a client that was on page 2 for the keyword. Went from an on page score of D to an A. But we are still slipping down the rankings. We were towards to top of page 2 now we are towards the bottom. Is there a time that it takes to change or does the on page not really make a big impact?

Seo'ing Sub domains for images
We are currently adding some performance improvement to our websites, to improve user experience. One of the things we are looking at is splitting of images over several sub-domains, to increase the number of images that can be downloaded at the same. We have seen that using key phrases within image names has an improvement in rankings. So, the question is should we create sub-domains as key-phrase.example.co.uk or as i1.example.co.uk? K

Meta Description Tags and Rankings
Hi there, I have a lot of pages set up on my site but most have no content. If I add the correct meta description tags to those pages, will that help rank for the root domain? I am slowly getting the content added for each page but wanted to see if I could boost rankings in the meantime. http://www.petmedicalcenter.com Example: most of pages under "Services" are blank. Thanks for the help!
