      I am trying to get my content in the Google Knowledge graph. Everything I've read thus far about Knowledge Graph tells us how to get in for branded terms (e.g. company name or your own name). But I am looking for ways to have my content be indexed and shown in Google graph.

      For example, if you search for "mayonnaise for hair" you will see Knowledge graph show us a snippet from an article on RealSimple.com. **How do you get your content to show here? **

      I've been reading a lot about SameAs markup, but it seems to only help for branded terms, so companies can have a knowledge box for their brand. But does it help for non-branded keywords?

      I appreciate any advice. Thanks.

        Thank you, Everett! I didn't know that Answers box and Knowledge Graph are two different things. I'll take a look at the blog post you linked to.

          Hello Texture Media Inc,

          It's tough to keep up on what the various parts of different SERPs are these days. They're constantly expanding and changing. The only person I know who can keep up is Dr. Pete, and that's just barely. 😉

          I think what you're wanting to do is get content in the Answers Box, as opposed to the Knowledge Graph. This should answer your questions: http://cognitiveseo.com/blog/6121/total-serp-domination-using-the-new-google-answer-box-technique/

          SameAs should be used for connecting various pages about the entity, including social but also Wikipedia pages and other official "About" pages. It's a good idea to use this tag, but isn't going to help with what you're trying to do, specifically.

            Thank you for your response, Martijn. I was thinking the same thing. Everything I've read thus far about SameAs speaks to connecting bios and social profiles.

              SameAs markup probably won't be enough as for now it's really meant to be used for identifying social network accounts for a specific Web site. What I would also look into is marking up your actual content via Schema.org because Google probably will need the data for it's knowledge graph in some structured way at least.

                  Hi there

                  I think it can help indirectly. Especially as Google associates your brand and website to particular topics (if you are optimizing properly and writing great content). If you are killing it from a topic association level, I can see having "SameAs" markup possibly benefiting your brand on a non-branded level as those topics are associated with your site and Google (and other search engines) notice those SameAs connections to your other platforms or areas, and possibly return your site or other channels in non-branded search.

                  That's my take. Excited to see what everyone else says - great question! Good luck!

                    Google indexing pages from chrome history ?

                    We have pages that are not linked from site yet they are indexed in Google. It could be possible if Google got these pages from browser. Does Google takes data from chrome?

                    How do you check the google cache for hashbang pages?

                    So we use http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:x.com/#!/hashbangpage to check what googlebot has cached but when we try to use this method for hashbang pages, we get the x.com's cache... not x.com/#!/hashbangpage That actually makes sense because the hashbang is part of the homepage in that case so I get why the cache returns back the homepage. My question is - how can you actually look up the cache for hashbang page?

                    Page position dropped on Google

                    Hey Guys, My web designer has recommended this forum to use, the reason being: my google position has been dropped from page 1 to page 10 in the last week. The site is weloveschoolsigns.co.uk, but our main business site is textstyles.co.uk the school signs are a product of text styles. I have been told off my SEO company, that because I have changed the school logo to the text styles logo, Google have penalised me for it, and dropped us from page 1 for numerous keywords, to page 10 or more. They have also said that duplicate content within the school site  http://www.weloveschoolsigns.co.uk/school-signs-made-easy/ has also a contributed to the drop in positions. (this content is not on the textstyles site) Lastly they said, that having the same telephone number is a definate no no. They said that I have been penalised, because google see the above as trying to monopolise on the market. I don’t know if all this is true, as the SEO is way above my head, but they have quoted me £1250 to repair all the errors, when the site only cost £750. They have also mentioned that because of the above changes, the main text styles site will also be punished. Any thoughts on this matter would be much appreciated as I don't know whether to pay them to crack on, or accept the new positions. Either way I'm very confused. Thanks Thomas

                    Google and Product Description Tabs

                    How does Google process a product page with description tabs?  For example, lets say the product page has a tab for Overview, Specifications, What's In the Box and so on. Wouldn't that content be better served in one main product description tab with the tab names used as (htags) or highlighted paragraph separators? Or, does all that content get crawled as a single page regardless of the tabs?

                    Why am I not ranking in Google, but I am in Yahoo and Bing?

                    The website in question is: www.stbarthexclusives.com Our keywords are currently ranking for both Bing and Yahoo, but we're not appearing anywhere on Google. The website is being crawled successfully, but we still don't have any results. I hoping somebody can point me in the general right direction to fix/correct this problem. Additionally, there's a decent amount of "rel=canonical tags" on the website. If that helps your evaluation. Any advice would be greatly appreciated

                    Indexed Pages in Google, How do I find Out?

                    Is there a way to get a list of pages that google has indexed? Is there some software that can do this? I do not have access to webmaster tools, so hoping there is another way to do this. Would be great if I could also see if the indexed page is a 404 or other Thanks for your help, sorry if its  basic question 😞
