I don't see any other possibility other than Google has taken the domain name and upper cased the first letter.

I don't have this brand name any where - not on the site, in the HTML or in webmaster tools.

Hi,

Thanks for the input. My site is not a wordpress - it is hand built PHP with hundreds of thousands of lines. I took the long way.

I will try and search for this. But it seems they have just taken domain name and set first letter upper case. One of our competitors i see has the same tendency in SERPs.

Hi all,

I am experiencing that Google puts our domain name at the end of the titles in SERPs. So if ia have a title: "See our super cool website", Google would show "See our super cool website - Betxpert.com" in the SERPs

Well. This is okay. Apart from the fact that i myself often put the brand name in the title AND the fact that Google mispells the site name. The brand is BetXpert with a upper case X...so when i get a SERP with "See our super cool website - BetXpert - Betxpert.com" I am annoyed

Any one out the know how to tell Google the EXACT brand name, such that they do not set a value the site owner does not want to have?

A quick google on "visual sitemap" gave the following URL:

Seems to be what you are looking for? I do not have any experience with it I must admit.

The votes you need to take care of on your end. Facilitate voting for your users and use the result to set a meaningful value in the following meta:
<meta < span="">itemprop="reviewRating" content="5.0" /></meta <>

Users are not able to vote from the SERPS. The SERPS only display results, and the stars/votes is a rather good way of showing google searchers that you have some valuable information. Also, graphically, SERPS with stars catches the eye.

I would say, if used properly, the stars can have a positive effect on clicks from Google SERPS.

We have these stars for some reviews we have made. Using the following three metas we have stars in our SERPS, which really helps us distunguish from some of our competitors.

itemprop="reviewRating" content="5.0" />

itemprop="datePublished" content="2012-01-07" />

itemprop="itemReviewed" content="TEXT" />

Hope this can be helpful.

Thanks for the replies in this thread. I've reduced the homepage to about 300-350 links now. That should give me some affect one should think.

Hi Atul,

You go to analytics, and go to "Content". There you find "In-Page Analysis". I just tried it today. Really cool

You can check for several types of users, and see how many of your links have been clicked by over 0%, 0,01% and so on. In this way you can locate the links which are not clicked at all.

So can i conclude, that the high number of links in my menu and footer actually dilutes the link juice for all link (on all pages). If i trim the number of links I should see a better passing of rank value throughout my website?

But our link count has been this high for a long time.

So you are telling me, that if i decrease the link count my page will have a higher authority?

The trimming of links is most important on the homepage or should this be done on each and every page?
