    I know optimisation is now considered 'old hat' but like many old hats not only is it comfortable but it is (in my experience) still functional and working in ranking websites.

    Yes there are plenty of other drivers, but I still consider optimisation to be important, hence the question

    Google Reviews Plugin - Does This Impact Negatively On SEO By Diluting Optimisation?

    From my (limited in many ways) understanding this puts hundreds if not thousands of extra words on a page - so this must surely be reducing the amount of optimisation?  And then could it actually lead to a decline in rankings?

    Has anyone had any experience in this, I would love to use the Google Reviews plugin but just wanted to be sure first...

    Many thanks

    KT

      @Kijeu745 Exactly I fully agree with you, that's why I have never used any nulled themes on my website. I personally believe that once you paly for something means that the cost is for the original product. I am highly against buying the nulled themes specially when you are having a money website like for example mine one is
      ukskys.com. This is my bread and butter. If I use Nulled theme on it, it can get hacked. Saving few bucks will result in loss of entire business.

        @sabirasifseo999 said in Google Reviews Plugin - Does This Impact Negatively On SEO By Diluting Optimisation:

        I don't think so it is badly impact for SEO. It is an external script loading async on your website but there is a thing which might be considered as bad.  Sometime users who reviewed on google has private profiles which makes their profile picture 404 not found in google reviews plugin. I have googled it but didn't find any solution. So, i have come up with the lazy load solution but that's not permalink. It is just delayed loading the images which render the page quickly. Without using the lazy load the 404 not found links might take extra seconds for requests.  I used this plugin on my website  https://aeroshield.me/ to show the reviews on my event but removed it because of 404 images errors. Other than this i think it is ok.

        a. Go to source of website (right mouse click)

        b. Use Chrome Ctrl+f to search "plugins" and you will find all the plugins installed.

          Showing reviews on your website is a good idea to have social proof. But make sure to keep it watch regularly for broken links.  You can use the broken link monitor plugin to keep things automated. for more info you view this boxing site which has borken link checker installed.

          1- goto source of website

          2- use chrome ctrl+f to search "plugins" and you will find all the plugins installed.

          Thanks

                    Hello, Smart People!
                    We need help solving the problem with Google indexing.
                    All pages of our website are crawled and indexed. All pages, including those mentioned, meet Google requirements and can be indexed. However, only this page is still not indexed.
                    Robots.txt is not blocking it.
                    We do not have a tag "nofollow"
                    We have it in the sitemap file.
                    We have internal links for this page from indexed pages.
                    We requested indexing many times, and it is still grey.
                    The page was established one year ago.
                    We are open to any suggestions or guidance you may have. What else can we do to expedite the indexing process?

                    Is Wix still terrible for SEO?

                    In Australia, I hear it over and over again that Wix is literally the worst site builder you can use due to it's poor site build for SEO. Has anyone here got some tangible reasons for why this is? As I am constantly getting asked this by clients who are using Wix and want me to help with their SEO.

                    Phone number for SEO

                    We have had an interesting question from a client. They have asked if removing their phone number from their website would have an affect on their rankings. Our immediate answer was 'No' but it may affect the Brand, Usability and Customer experience by restricting the methods of contact. This then made us think that perhaps then it could have an effect in the long term. This situation is also complicated by the fact that they do not have a Google Local Plus account for operational, sensitivity reasons (they don't want to openly publicise their address) We believe that there shouldn't be any negative affect but thought we would open a discussion. Thanks in advance for any comments/ideas.

                    Disappearing and reappearing in google index

                    Hello. I made a lot of car accident lawyer city pages.  They probably weren't as unique as they should have been. Suddenly, they all disappeared from the rankings and I freaked out.  Then, two days later, they all returned. Is this a bad sign?  Should I be worried? Why would they drop out of the rankings and come back in? Let me know, thanks.

                    HTML Site SEO (NO CMS)

                    I have got a client site, which is dated (2007) and has not been shifted to any recognised CMS yet. It is HTML based. Is it possible to SEO on such a site? Is it even worth it? If it is possible to do SEO on this, any suggestions will be highly appreciated. Thank you.

                    Is content aggregation good SEO?

                    I didn't see this topic specifically addressed here: what's the current thinking on using content aggregation for SEO purposes? I'll use flavors.me as an example. Flavors.me lets you set up a domain that pulls in content from a variety of services (Twitter, YouTube, Flickr, RSS, etc.). There's also a limited ability to publish unique content as well. So let's say that we've got MyDomain.com set up, and most of the content is being drawn in from other services. So there's blog posts from WordPress.com, videos from YouTube, a photo gallery from Flickr, etc. How would Google look at this scenario? Is MyDomain.com simply scraped content from the other (more authoritative) sources? Is the aggregated content perceived to "belong" to MyDomain.com or not? And most importantly, if you're aggregating a lot of content related to Topic X, will this content aggregation help MyDomain.com rank for Topic X? Looking forward to the community's thoughts. Thanks!
