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

Does Google Understand H2 As Subtitle?
I use some HTML 5 tags on my custom template. I implement <header class="entry-header-outer"> Flavour & Chidinma – 40 Yrs 40 Yrs by Flavour & Chidinma </header> html code. h1 tag serves as the title, while h2 tag servers as the subtitle of the post. Take a look at it here: https://xclusiveloaded.com/flavour-chidinma-40-yrs/ I want to know if it's ok or should I remove the h2 tag. Guys, what is your thoughts?

SEO Optimization for Sales Page
Hi, I am new to eCommerce. Traditionally I have run a couple of semi-successful websites relying largely on Adsense revenue and affiliate income. So I have a bit of experience with on page and off page SEO. This time around I am creating a membership site and also sell eBooks as bundles that non members can buy. My question is, should I SEO optimize the sales page for my eBook or use another content page that links to the sales page. For example, if I am selling an ebook on Dog Training and targeting the main KW "Dog Training Tips", should my sales page be optimized for "Dog Training Tips"? The reason I ask is because typically Sales pages do not provide a lot of useful information but are more geared around selling the product. The other option would be to create a helpful information page targeted for "Dog Training Tips" and lead users to my sales page through contextual links, banners, popups (I hate popups), etc. This would be the approach for the other LSI keywords anyways. Any thought would be appreciated.

Blocking Subdomain from Google Crawl and Index
Hey everybody, how is it going? I have a simple question, that i need answered. I have a main domain, lets call it domain.com. Recently our company will launch a series of promotions for which we will use cname subdomains, i.e try.domain.com, or buy.domain.com. They will serve a commercial objective, nothing more. What is the best way to block such domains from being indexed in Google, also from counting as a subdomain from the domain.com. Robots.txt, No-follow, etc? Hope to hear from you, Best Regards,

Best SEO Extension/Plugin for NOPCommerce Site?
Hi I am working for a client who is using NOPCommerce. It doesn't look like they have a SEO Plugin in - although you can add meta descriptions to Products - which works fine, the Product categories have SEO components too but do not seem to work and all 'other' content /CMS pages have no SEO components whatsoever. Does anyone know of a plugin which would resolve this? (PS never used NOPCommerce before!)

Does css float affect SEO?
It is generally believed that the closer the content is to the top of the page, the better it is for SEO. If that's incorrect, please let me know. I have a 2 column site where the left menu is navigation and right side is content. Obviously, the left menu appears in the code before the content does, but I can flip them around via css float. If I do that, the content will appear on the left visually, even though in the code it still comes after the left side navigation. Do either positions affect seo?

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!
