Has anyone added Structured Data Markup Server Side?
-
I want to add some structured data to our companies website via microdata through schema.org. I have been asked to gather all of the requirements so that it can be done server side and automated when things change. I honestly don't know where to begin as there are many areas where it can be added. Has anyone done this server side before?

Hey David thanks for your response. We are not using wordpress or joomla. We use currently IIS, ASP.net and MVC. This will be going on a software company website.

I have never seen it implemented on the server side, but I have seen cms components that allow you to mark up information with rich snippet and micro data.
Are you using joomla or WordPress for the site(s) in question? What types of sites will this be going on?
For e-commerce, there are plug-ins that markup the products and reviews.
For static data there are plug-ins that Mark up single and aggregate reviews.
Company and organizational markup I would just create one and copy/paste then change out the info. These are really simple to do, and I'm not sure automating the process for this type would achieve the time savings you have been asked to provide.
Keep in mind that sometimes quality is lost through automation. Other than product info, we manually add all our markup data.
Hope this helps! Let me know if you need some links to components.

How long should an old site redirecting to a new site remain activated on a server?
Once I switch a site to a new domain (with links to corresponding/relative pages), will I have to keep the old site live forever for those links to work, or how long should I wait before I inactivate the old site on our server?

URL Structure
Hello, Within the last few months, my company launched a brand new website for our clients. Unfortunately, the web developers we went through aren't very knowledgeable on SEO practices and as a result, our URL structure is a total mess. I'm looking for some advice on the best way to go about a possible restructure of the URL's or what you suggest I should do from here. Any advice helps. Thanks! Lauren McLaughlin

Increasing content, adding rich snippets... and losing tremendous amounts of organic traffic. Help!
I know dramatic losses in organic traffic is a common occurrence, but having looked through the archives I'm not sure that there's a recent case that replicates my situation. I've been working to increase the content on my company's website and to advise it on online marketing practices. To that end, in the past four months, I've created about 20% more pages — most of which are very high quality blog posts; adopted some rich snippets (though not all that I would like to see at this point); improved and increased internal links within the site; removed some "suspicious" pages as id'd by Moz that had a lot of links on it (although the content was actually genuine navigation); and I've also begun to guest blog. All of the blog content I've written has been connected to my G+ account, including most of the guest blogging. And... our organic traffic is preciptiously declining. Across the board. I'm befuddled. I can see no warnings (redirects &c) that would explain this. We haven't changed the site structure much — I think the most invasive thing we did was optimize our title tags! So no URL changes, nothing. Obviously, we're all questioning all the work I've done. It just seems like we've sunk SO much energy into "doing the right thing" to no effect (this site was slammed before for its shady backlink buying — though not from any direct penalty, just as a result of the Penguin update). We noticed traffic taking a particular plunge at the beginning of June. Can anyone offer insights? Very much appreciated.

Has anyone had luck doing SEO with a wordpress website built with Parallax?
Has anyone worked with Parallax before? Is it possible and worth it to do SEO on a wordpress site that uses Parallax? I have a friend that is asking. Currently when you navigate their site there is only one URL (home page) and one title tag.

Crawl Diagnostics, 57 5XX (Server Error)'s
Hi guys, My name is Rob, and I work at Burst! Creative Group in Vancouver BC. We are having issues with the 5XX(server Error)'s. We have 57 of them, and can't figure out why! We have never had this problem before, but have recently added a blog to our website, and figure that this addition may have caused some problems. I'm hoping that I can get some helpful information from you MOZers to eliminate these crawl errors. You can take a look at our website at www.burstcreativegroup.com . Thank you in advance for all of your input! Rob

Does anyone use Ultimento for Magento?
We're working on a re-design and want to start with SEO rather than leave it until the end. Of course, saving time and money on a custom template would be great. Ultimento found at www.ultimento.com boasts great SEO features. Has anybody used it? Please comment. Thanks in advance! Kevin
