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

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

SEO For Replacement Site
I have a client with a website that has gotten a bit outdated. We've already built his new website and optimized it, but I'm trying to figure out the best way to replace the site while doing the least amount of damage to his current Google rankings. He's ranking #1 for some very competitive keywords that are responsible for the bulk of his revenue, so we want to jeopardize that. We've already built a new site and written all new content, although the homepage page title, h1 header and meta descriptions will all remain what they currently are. I'm also trying to keep the keyword density as close to the current site as possible. I am aware of transferring all existing site URLS using 301 redirects. Can anyone provide any tips that I should use when replacing the site? Should I expect a slight rankings drop or am I worrying about nothing?

What's better for SEO a page per review or a page with all reviews?
Was wondering what's better for SEO. We have a platform where consumers can read and write reviews. But the question is: is it better to give one page per company with all the reviews on it? Or should we have different pages for the specific company? Example: Itunes has a company page with all reviews on the page, but not the whole review. You have to click further to view the whole review (new page), at the moment this the current situation. What if we place the whole reviews on the company page, so you don't have specific pages for the reviews? Hopefully can someone help us out. Contact me if it's not clear or you want more extended information. Kind regards

Google vs. Bing
We are having some really good results with our SEO strategies for local search and long tail searches for our clients on Google; however, Bing is a completely different story in a couple of cases. What is Bing looking for that Google is not? We have even noticed that something may rank well in Bing then not show up at all in Google? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Canonical URLs and SEO
After publishing my new wordpress website my on page analysis shows two canonical urls on my homepage. In checking the source code the Yoast SEO plugin states my canoncial url is www.homepage.ca/ This is the only one showing. Having said this I do not add the trailing slash to anything on my url structure. Could this be why the on page analysis tool says there are 2? If so is there any way to resolve this?

Do Schema.org changes impact local SEO
I've reviewed the various presentation and blog posts from SMX advanced regarding local SEO and I didn't see any mention of Schema.org and microformats. Has any research or case studies been presented supporting that implementation of Schema.org microformats will improve local results? Here is one example where I've implemented the basics in the address info of the footer. http://bit.ly/lZQYeg Any tips on how to further optimize with schema.org markup?

Has anyone noticed a big delta between Google and Bing rankings? For example, we rank favorably in Google, but not so favorably in Bing. Are there different tactics I should use to rank better in Bing?
An example is in Google, we currently rank #1 & #2 for "yoga pants" for Athleta and Old Navy. In Bing, I'm on page 2. Any thoughts here?
