Hi guys,

I have tested the theme on Google’s Webmaster site https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/richsnippets and it is filled full of errors. I mentioned in a previous post about H1 H2 headings that 2014 is bad example of what Google (the world’s largest search engine) expects for structure. If you run http://twentyfourteendemo.wordpress.com/ through the testing you will see what I mean.

Unfortunately Google is the king of search engines by a landslide. Therefore, what is good for Google is good for us. So if Google “suggests” a theme to have certain elements within it, then we can assume it has at the very least some small influence on page ranking for websites…which of course means it affects the amount of traffic we receive.

Aside from using 2014 as a guideline of the theme’s structure, is there a particular reason Themehorse has for not wanting to fix these errors? Does not fixing them have any benefit that outweighs fixing them to comply with what Google expects websites to have?

I hope you reconsider your decision.

Thanks,

Trevor
