Does Schema.org markup create a conflict with Power Reviews' standard microformat markup for e-commerce product pages?
-
Does anyone have experience implementing Schema.org markup on e-commerce websites that are already using Power Reviews (now Bazaar)? In Google's documentation they say that it's generally not a good idea to use two types of semantic markup for the same item (reviews in this case), but I wouldn't think that there would be a problem marking up other items on the page with Schema such as price, stock status, etc...
Anyone care to provide some insight?
Also in a related topic, have you all noticed that Google has really dialed back the frequency in which they display rich snippets for product searches? A few weeks ago the site that I'm referring to had hundreds of products that were displaying snippets, now it seems that only about 10% (roughly) of them are still showing.
Thanks everybody.

I actually meant the new one- not the option that was in Labs. You can access it through:
Optimization>structured data , in the case of the domain I was referring to ( large ecommerce site). It does show the data and the URL that it is on.

Thanks for the response.
The rich snippet testing tool has actually been available for a long time, but they've recently made improvements and created a menu category for it (it was previously in the labs/beta section). However, the tool doesn't actually predict the snippets you get in search results, it just verifies the semantic markup and shows an example of what your snippet might look like. At least that's been my experience with it, and I've heard the same from other people around the industry.
Ideally Power Reviews/Bazaar should just update their markup to Schema.org format. Since that's the preferred format agreed upon by the powers that be, I don't understand why they wouldn't, unless their framework is just extremely rigid.
I appreciate your feedback about your client sites running PR. If I understand the (limited) documentation correctly, this shouldn't be a problem unless I was marking up the exact same data with two different formats. Just wanted to see if anyone else had direct experience. So thanks

You can use the tool in Webmaster tools ( it's new), that will show you the markup on the page. I haven't noticed that the power reviews interfere with the proper structure of product schema.org on my clients.
The tool will show you the mark up and the results.

Why has my homepage been replaced in Google by my Facebook page?
Hi. I was wondering if others have had this happen to them. Lately, I've noticed that on a couple of my sites the homepage no longer appears in the Google SERP. Instead, a Facebook page I've created appears in the position the homepage used to get. My subpages still get listed in Google--just not the homepage. Obviously, I'd prefer that both the homepage and Facebook page appear. Any thoughts on what's going on? Thanks for your help!

Which website? It's hard to get enough resources to develop both
I started my Whitby cottage website for years ago www.endeavourcottages.co.uk not knowing anything about SEO, but I now have very good rankings for the keywords on Google. I'm ranking quite well for Whitby holiday cottages on Google and I now list to other cottages in the area for my friends. The point is that I'm now starting a small letting agency and hoping to expand it now so I bought the domain http://www.whitby-holiday-cottages.co.uk/ and set up a WordPress site but it's not ranking are getting anywhere near the same amount of traffic. This domain name and website structure would be much more applicable now that there are more than one cottage to let. Whenever I get some free time I spend it doing SEO on my first website to improve its rankings and so which is the best strategy from here on. One try and develop the new cottages letting website at the expense of my main website, or forget about the new website are together and continue with my first website which was designed initially for just one cottage. It's hard to have enough resources to get both websites ranking high. Thank you very useful tips Alan Davidson
