TripAdvisor multiple listings
-
Why do certain sites for example TripAdvisor rank for their multiple international sites e.g TripAdvisor.co.uk, TripAdvisor.com, TripAdvisor.fr, TripAdvisor.de etc for a English search phrase ?
From my view point they are just spamming the index with the same content. These searches are performed on google.co.uk

I find the whole tripadvisor SERP thing highly annoying as an SEO and a search engine user, I don't know what Google are thinking of with their allowing Tripadvisor to be 1,2,3 and even sometimes 4 and more on the SERPS like this, it is NOT what the user wants, nor the hotel. They need to spend time simply on a Tripadvisor update! How much of online search is travel/hotel/restaurant/attraction related? Must be immense.
I want to see Panda,Venice, Pengiun, Tripadvisor....

Indeed...
- The Page 1 position 2 page is http://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Hotel_Review-g186338-d224752-Reviews-Mina_House_Hotel-London_England.html
- On Page 2 (Malaysia) http://www.tripadvisor.com.my/Hotel_Review-g186338-d224752-Reviews-Mina_House_Hotel-London_England.html
- And on page 3 (France) http://www.tripadvisor.fr/Hotel_Review-g186338-d224752-Reviews-Mina_House_Hotel-London_England.html
...which is of course frustrating...same content/page but different TLD's.
You may find this YouTube video from Matt Cutts helpful in explaining why they treat similar content of different TLD's as not being duplicate content (in the case of teh Page 2 listing)...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ets7nHOV1Yo&feature=youtu.be
...and the Page 3 one is because Google has not yet been able to figure cross-language duplicate content...
Not an answer but perhaps the explanation you were seeking...

Search on google.co.uk for "mina house hotel". First page 1 Tripadvisor listing, look page 3 there are TripAdvisor.fr, TripAdvisor.com and TripAdvisor.de. Surely they shouldn't be showing for .co.uk and a english search phrase

Hi Aspirant
Couple of quick questions first before I can tailor a reply...
- can you provide an example of a keyword phrase that generates this (and copy the Google search results URL)
- is it the same content turning up or different pages
Let me know and we can maybe shine some light on your query...

Huge ranking flux that we cannot explain
Hello, SEO experts from around the world. We need your help; we have seen massive ranking flux across our website and others. We cannot explain what is causing this ranking flux. The content marketing is top quality, so we don’t know why we are moving from 25 to 50th on Google and sometimes even beyond that. Can any SEO experts explain why our agency is moving so much within Google’s rankings? We don’t know whether to make changes or possibly wait. Any help would be fantastic; thank you all.

Hi
Algorithm Updates | | rayabahadur
My website is not configured in AMP pages, but it is mobile-friendly.
Last month, my website was ranked to 10 positions for this keyword (Magento Development Company).
Sometimes it's showing on 25 positions but not in the top 5 positions. Here is my URL (for analysis):
https://www.nevinainfotech.com/magento-development-service/
Would you please explain why my keyword rankings are often not showing in the search listings?
Would you mind letting me know is there anything I need to change?

Our Sites Organic Traffic Went Down Significantly After The June Core Algorithm Update, What Can I Do?
After the June Core Algorithim Update, the site suffered a loss of about 30-35% of traffic. My suggestions to try to get traffic back up have been to add metadata (since the majority of our content is lacking it), as well ask linking if possible, adding keywords to alt images, expanding and adding content as it's thin content wise. I know that from a technical standpoint there are a lot of fixes we can implement, but I do not want to suggest anything as we are onboarding an SEO agency soon. Last week, I saw that traffic for the site went back to "normal" for one day and then saw a dip of 30% the next day. Despite my efforts, traffic has been up and down, but the majority of organic traffic has dipped overall this month. I have been told by my company that I am not doing a good job of getting numbers back up, and have been given a warning stating that I need to increase traffic by 25% by the end of the month and keep it steady, or else. Does anyone have any suggestions? Is it realistic and/or possible to reach that goal?

Schema Markup for property list
My Client has a Real Estate directory with many landing pages for specific properties and locations, example: https://www.laguiainmobiliaria.com.mx/casas-en-venta-queretaro/ This landing page is a list of New Houses in Queretaro. The properties appear dynamically, because this landing pages works trough a WP Query. So the list changes every week. We are preparing each listing to have a Product Markup as trulia. But what would be the appropiate markup for the list of properties? An itemlist markup seems imposible because the list is dynamical, so maybe Markup as an article? in the description: List of houses in Queretaro?
