So, today I got one of those stupid SEO solicitations explaining why my site isn’t on page 1 of google. Well it is, and they didn’t make that happen. So if you are getting email from smitngel@gmail.com, mark it as SPAM.

So, if you have one of the above issues, it is related to the way in which Mage is trying to process a preg_match_all,. the flag they are using is incorrect.
So, if you want your magento store to stop giving the “No date part in ‘xxxx-xx-xx xx:xx:xx'” error, then do the following,.
Open /lib/Zend/Locale/Format.php and change the line
preg_match_all(‘/\d+/u’, $number, $splitted);
to
preg_match_all(‘/\d+/’, $number, $splitted);
And all should be fixed,.

So, if you are like me, you are in a rush to add Micro Data to your html5 websites.
The most important for us, it seems, is the automotive websites we’ve built. First I integrated into a used car dealership but have seen that it is incorrect. So here are the proper steps,.
1) There is a schema for AutoDealer http://schema.org/AutoDealer
in your document establish the container
2) Establish the important information,
itemprop=”name” (Make/Model/Trim Year)
itemprop=”image” (url to primary image)
itemprop=”url” (url to the product page)
itemprop=”description” (text description of product)
3) Establish an offer so you can list the price
From there verify what is being listed,. http://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/richsnippets
Well, I’m testing it on several sites, the first is for Kid Recliners and since we’ve added it, their serps have risen.
Next I’ve added it to the Nice Car Company,. http://www.nicecarcompany.com/ they are a great used car dealer specializing in low mileage one-owner used cars. Their micro data will list the year, make, model, sale price, image and url.
We shall see what happens with the Microdata car information.
