Spammy Markup Schema resulted in Manua Action from Google

[Kiza Design]

Hi there!

Last month, I noticed that Google Webmaster Tools has given my website a manual action and says that the website’s markup schema is in violation of Google’s Webmaster Guidelines. Because of this, my website is not displaying the way that it should in Google, due to the violation status.

When I look at the errors in Webmaster Tools, it’s showing that 14 product URLs have duplicate product markups for the same URL BUT the second version is missing the item name. For regular blog posts, it’s showing that there are 41 hentry errors for missing author markup, entry title markup, and missing updated markup.

I’ve attached some screenshots so you can see what I’m referring to.

Help! 🙂

Thanks!!

Just checked one of those products and showing as fine on the product page for me – https://www.dropbox.com/s/b43h7e4j4s99adu/Screenshot%202016-02-23%2019.16.52.png?dl=0 – can you confirm if you still get these issues, and if so where to see them?

The blog posts seem to have a few issues, looks like the schema structure requirements may have changed – we’ll get this sorted for the next update.
