Is my knowledge graph code wrong?
-
I inserted the Knowledge Graph code on our site last week and am still not seeing the knowledge graph in our search results. Is something incorrect with my code?
<script type="<a class="attribute-value">application/ld+json</a>"> { "@context" : "http://schema.org", "@type" : "Organization", "name" : "IssueTrak", "url" : "http://www.issuetrak.com/", "sameAs" : [ "http://www.facebook.com/issuetrak", "http://www.twitter.com/issuetrak", "http://plus.google.com/google.com/+Issuetrak"] } script>head> I suspect it is the alignment of the "{" and "}" but others in the company say that doesn't matter. Any other explanations for why the KG isn't showing in the results? Thanks I did test it with Google's Structured Data Testing Tool and got the "all's good."

Thank you IssueTrak,
Although we have been a member for a long time we just started being more active on the Q&A, more stars will come. Let us know how it works out.

Great information! Thanks VERB. How do I get you more stars for your rating?

Hi IssueTrak,
I do agree with Dr. Pete, anything done is merely a suggestion, I like to think of it as farming, you create the most ideal situation for your organic search results to grow but unexpected influences will cause you to change your approach and some of these unexpected influences will be beyond your control.
One thing I would mention that is a bit of a red flag for me is that your structured data offers no additional organizational info on the home page. So when the google bot crawls the home page they see you are trying to push the Name, Url and the social accounts, this could be considered a bit scammy. I would suggest expanding on the content and add a description, mailing address, etc anything to make it your info more robust. In addition explore the adding the schema for https://schema.org/SoftwareApplication since you folks seem to be a software application company.
The Knowledge Graph info is pulled from multiple avenues, if these suggestions for Schema changes don't start producing better results, start looking outside of the Schema, for an example submit a request for a Wikipedia entry to be written (see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requested_articles/Business_and_economics/Companies)
I hope this helps,

Keep in mind that well-formatted structured data is only step one of (X), where Google defines X and X is always changing. Ok, I exaggerate a little, but the frustrating key point is that structured data is no guarantee that you will get enhanced results or any kind of Knowledge Graph entity. It's just a suggestion, and Google has to factor in a lot of other things. If the testing tool is giving you the green light, that's usually about the best you can hope for.
What kind of KG entity are you trying to produce, exactly (do you have a sample query with a competitor who has it)?

Hey
If it looks good to Google, and all markup is matched up, then you're set!
I double checked and got All Good!
Hope this helps - good luck!

Handling Pages with query codes
In Moz my client's site is getting loads of error messages for no follow tags on pages. This is down to the query codes on the E-commerce site so the URLs can look like this https://www.lovebombcushions.co.uk/?bskt=31d49bd1-c21a-4efa-a9d6-08322bf195af Clearly I just want the URL before the ? to be crawled but what can I do in the site to ensure that these errors for nofollow are removed? Is there something I should do in the site to fix this? In the back of my mind I'm thinking rel-conanical tag but I'm not sure. Can you help please?

Wrong Hotel Amenity Being Pulled Into Meta Description
Hey Mozzers, Have a quick question for you hospitality folks. We have a hotel property that has amenities being pulled into the meta description that aren't correct. We do have a custom meta description in the CMS but it is only pulling a portion of our meta description and is then including what appears to be a dynamic list of hotel amenities: "free covered parking; full service catering; complimentary airport shuttle". The airport shuttle is no longer free and the property is charging a small fee. All copy on the page (and across the site) has been updated to reflect this change. My main questions are: 1.) Are these amenities just pulled by Google? Do we have any control over this? 2.) Is there anything we can do to correct this error? Or do we just need to wait for it to hopefully update automatically? Thanks for the help!

What are we doing wrong with Rich Snippets?
So, a client webstore has rich snippets on all products, and it seems they are working fine, and are showing up, the only problem is, that the price for an article is not showing up. The part of the code, that shows the price is this: Redna cena:
Technical SEO | | Red_Orbit
29,99 € Is the problem that we have the itemprop="price" in a meta tag? I've read around the internet that if you have a lot of meta, this can be a problem.... Can we change it into: Redna cena: Would this work, or is there another thing that we can try? The URL for this article is http://www.bigbang.si/igre/sleeping-dogs-le-x360-4989980 -
Using alt-codes such as ? in META title / description
Noticed a search result recently that really caught my eye and certainly stood out among the other 10 results on the page, the META description contained the following snippet: "Learn more about our ★★★★★ rated service..." Any opinions on how using such alt-chars might effect search positioning when used in either the title or description META tags? The starts certainly looked very different to anything else on the page... The claim of 5 star rated service was pretty much accurate so it was genuine and fair to use it...

2000 pages indexed in Yahoo, 0 in Google. NO PR, What is wrong?
Hello Everyone, I have a friend with a blog site that has over 2000 pages indexed in Yahoo but none in Google and no page rank. The web site is http://www.livingorganicnews.com/ I know it is not the best site but I am guessing something is wrong and I don't see it. Can you spot it? Does he have some settings wrong? What should he do? Thank you.
