I am introducing rich snippets on my site and have some questions I can't find solution:
Do I need to put main company snippet only on mainpage or all pages (contacts, social networks, etc) - I mean copy the code on all links?
How do I do the beauty two columns snippets with the main site links, and how do I define what these main links are? - Example when we search Facebook we see: Facebook Login, Facebook Register, Facebook Profile, etc... all with a brief description below. Are there the separate pages that contain snippet and google identifies the most relevant? What code to put on each page?
If you are trying to add knowledge graph items you just need to markup your homepage only. For individual rich snippet items like star ratings, breadcrumbs etc you'll have to mark each page for them to show up for all of your search results.
Contact and Social profiles as you mentioned are knowledge graph items.
In the second part I am assuming you are referring to the links below the branded search result. The are not rich snippets but are rather called sitelinks and are generated if you have good on-site structure and internal linking. Sitelinks are picked by Google itself and you have little control over them.

I have duplicate content from my home page.
In Google Webmasters they tell me that I have a problem with duplicate content:
For example:
www.example.com/page1/ www.example.com/page2/ www.example.com/page2/
How can I remove it?
What that page says is not that you have duplicate pages but that you have several pages with the same meta description:
Meta descriptions are HTML attributes that provide concise summaries of webpages. They commonly appear underneath the blue clickable links in a search engine results page.
Usually each page should have their own meta description that describes its content (that is the reason why Google warns you about duplicates), but sometimes it's OK that several pages share the same description.
For example, based in your screen shot your site appears to be about mobile phones, let's say that the duplicates with 2 pages are one for the summary of the phone and the other for the technical specifications (I'm supposing as I don't understand Arabic), the meta description of both pages could be similar but not exact because it should reflect that they cover different aspects of the phone (summary vs technical spec).
On the other hand the duplicate with 14 pages appears to be several pages from a product list, maybe phones with same tag, if this is correct then it's OK that all those pages have the same meta description, as they are just parts of the same topic split into several pages.
I have coded my ASP.NET MVC application in a way that allows stored entities to be retrieved via a friendly name in the URL, for example:
www.mysite.com/artists/james-brown/songs
Where james-brown is a URL friendly string stored on my Artist entity.
Now imagine I add an artist that no one has heard of before, and no one ever navigated to that artist's songs page.
How would Google/Yahoo/Other Search Engines know that my site does indeed have songs for that unknown artist.
Do I create a sitemap and maintain it through code as I add / remove artists?
There are few defined known ways to make the new links visible to search engine world.
XML and HTML Sitemap:
Add it to sitemap and submit it through webmaster tools.
HTML sitemaps are another way to achieve it. If your site has footer sitemap, you can add it to them.
Internal Links
Create internal links from your high ranking pages or highly crawled pages to the new pages. Google and other search engines tend to crawl pages where the content changes frequently. So if you have a refreshed content pages, try adding it to those pages and chances are high for those pages to be discovered quickly.
External Links
Create links from external blogs, company blogs and sites like pagetube.org which can help it to be discovered.
Yeah just add them to either sitemap, internal or even external links
I'm trying to determine the best way to "merge" my orchard blog into my existing website. Currently the blog accessed outside the site.
I threw together a quick view in my MVC site that just loads the blog into an iframe. Any other ideas?
The blog is tuned up with a great theme and tons of mods & styling that matches my main site design to a T.
On the home page of my site, I'm using the RSS feed to output a list of the last 3 blog posts. My idea is that the user will click on a blog post link and go directly the view that hosts the blog in the inline frame.
I guess the only variable that I haven't handled yet is how to load up the correct page in the blog based on the link that the user clicked on my main site home page.
I've read other posts on this subject and it seems like the solution that is always offered is to merge all the code from the main website into Orchard which seems insane...I have a very large auction based website, taking all that logic & content and putting into Orchard is not an option.
Hope all that makes sense, thanks for the input. I can't think it would be a huge issue to "seamless" integrate my blog with my MVC site.
Orchard was never designed to be integrated into an existing application, so something like what you've done is what you have to do. The iframe however has a number of problems, such as its fixed size, and awkward navigation. It's better to integrate data than markup. It's now easy to build WebAPI controllers to expose Orchard data. You could consume that data in your application and render it there. That enables you to manipulate the data before rendering, which is of course easier than manipulating rendered HTML. For example, you can build your own link URLs so that clicking on a post's title goes to an action on your site that fetches the post contents rather than the Orchard post URL.
One final comment: It is a little weird that an auction website would need to integrate a blog in the middle of its own rendering. Shouldn't the blog be a separate section of the site?
I have over 10,000 pages on my website. I just created a php script to automatically integrate the facebook comments widget into each pages.
However, i was wondering if there is a way to monitor the latest comments added to my website so i don't have to browse through 10,000 pages to see the latest comments.
I am also wondering if i will be able to delete comments by other users ? How can facebook tell that i am the webmaster of the page ? If some user leave nasty comments on one of the pages i want to be able to delete them
Facebook's Graph API allows you to query for Facebook data, including comments. It's pretty easy to use but does require a bit of code to make web requests, parse JSON, etc. You can pass in filters, such as only wanting comments after a certain date, which makes querying for "new comments" simple.
The API will return all comments (even those deleted by you; afaik there is no way to tell whether a particular comment has been deleted). The results are returned in pages, so importing a lot of comments can take a bit (as you need multiple round-trips). Also, there is no way to use the API to delete posts - this has to go through the Facebook web pages (or some other means I don't know about).
The documentation pages are pretty exhaustive and will explain how to get started.
Hello if you want to add face book comment box in your website . then just go to face book plugin's and copy the comment box (CODE) .
now open your website admin penal . if your website created in blogger then go to layout . if in other setup. then go to plugin's . you see some layout hear add your code in (top down ) bar .
if you doesn't understand then 2nd way.
go to website and open your dashboard now go to website template . now edit the template .
now you see some codes in new tab . scroll down and put your cods in HTML Body place .

About a month ago we implemented Rich Snippets on the product detail pages for our e-commerce site (example).
We used the http://schema.org/ syntax for the structured data, as it seems to be the route Google are taking moving forward.
The data appears to be correct in the Rich Snippet Testing Tool and the data has started to appear in Google Webmaster Tools.
However the data is still to be seen on the SERP.
We have followed the rich data guide on Google to the letter and still no results. Is this a case of just waiting?
Here is an additional piece of information that is making it all the more puzzling, we initially went with a Microformats implementation and within 24 hours the data started showing up on the SERP. However we moved away from this because the Schema.org approach seemed a better bet.
I suppose it is one of the reasons explained in my Wiki post at
http://wiki.goodrelations-vocabulary.org/FFAQ#Why_is_Google_not_showing_rich_snippets_for_my_pages.3F
While that one refers to GoodRelations markup, the situation should be the same for schema.org.

If you have added GoodRelations (manually or via a shop extension module) to your shop and still do not get rich snippets in Google search results, this can have one of the following reasons:
Google has not yet re-crawled your page or pages. Google dedicates just a limited amount of crawling time to a site, depending on its global relevance. It may be that Google has simply not yet re-indexed your page. Wait 2 - 8 weeks ;-)
The markup is invalid. Try the Google Validator. If that shows a rich snippet in the preview, you may just have to wait 4 - 12 weeks until Google will notice and white-list your pages. If it does not show a rich snippet, you either do not have valid GoodRelations markup in the page, you are missing properties that Google requires (e.g. gr:validThrough for prices), the price of the item has expired, or you use markup for which Google does not show rich snippets. Currently, Google shows snippets only for products and offers.
Google cannot see that your page changed. Your XML sitemap (http://example.com/sitemap.xml or similar) does not contain a lastmod attribute or the lastmod attribute was not updated after you added GoodRelations/schema.org. This attribute is important for crawlers to notice which pages need to be reindexed.
Low ranking of your item pages. Your item pages have a low ranking and what you see in your Google results are category pages or other pages summarizing multiple items. GoodRelations shop extensions add markup only to the "deep" item pages, because those are best for rich snippets. Use the title / product name of one of your products and restrict the Google search to your site with the additional statement site:www.example.com.
