Google Trusted Stores
-
Hello,
So we sell millions of dollars a month in merchandise - most of that comes from eBay transactions. We do have a script that posts to eBay and we do download our transactions from eBay and process the orders from our admin.
Now I feel we will do a lot better in the SERPs if we have the trusted stores quality signal. However; it comes down to this. The conversion pixel. Since the don't pay through the site - do you think we can get away of sending a email to a second conversion page for eBay transactions?
Have any of you noticed a boost in SERPs once you were approved with the Trusted Stores? Any advise?

but how would google know if its a eBay transaction or not because when we import it - it gets it's own order id when we import. hmm.
We're not going PPC at the moment but we may want to in the near feature to be honest. We do have 200+ orders a month.. most months. Like everyone we do have a slow season. Do you know if you can have two conversion pages? Do they track the entire funnel i.e. cart/shipping/billing/confirm order/order complete or can I skip the funnel to email: "confirm shipping address" kind of thing -> order complete?
And maybe its worth it just for the badge that we're a trusted store. Maybe it will increase conversions..

I have experience with applying for the google Trusted Stores classification. You are not going to be able to achieve through eBay transactions. You are only going to be able to achieve it through your own storefront with your own brand.
That being said, would you do better in the SERPS with a Godle Trusted Stored icon? Yes as long as you are only looking at Paid Search Results. If You aren't bidding in Goole Adwords, then no, absolutely not, no boost.
The other thing to consider about Google Trusted Stores is their minimum transaction levels. If you don't have at least 200 transactions in a month, you won't qualify for the program.
Depending on your sales volume, I'd recommend looking elsewhere to get a "boost" in the SERPs.

How Google could quickly fix the whole Links problem...
A Thursday morning brainstorm that hopefully an important Google manager will see... Google could quickly end all the problems of link buying, spammy links, and negative SEO with one easy step: Only count the 100 best follow links to any domain. Ignore all the nofollows and everything beyond the 100 best. They can choose what "best" means. Suddenly links would be all about quality. Quantity would not matter. Fiverr links, comment links, and all the other mass-produced spam links would literally be ignored. Unless that's all a domain had, and then they would surely be stomped by any domain with 100 decent natural links. Would it be an improvement over today's situation?

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)?

If I have a Google+ Business page, do I need a Google Places page as well?
It seems like the two are redundant? Any official word on this? I'm fairly OCD about things being tidy and I dont want to split my reviews / shares / etc between two profiles. Are they not the same thing? I searched for my company, both my plus business page and my places page came up. I attached a SS of the situation. placesvplus.png

My site just dropped out of the rankings completely. But if you look at the Google search above you will notice 2 things:
1. First page: 75% of space above the fold is dedicated to Google making money
2. Subsequent pages: It is like you don't actually search "Google" If you flip through a few pages what you actually search is:
agoda.com
flipkey.com
tripadvisor.com
homeaway.com Do I have a point or am I simply having a cynical day?1 -

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.
