There is a common misconception that having duplicate content on a website can negatively affect search results. However, Google’s John Mueller has confirmed this is not the case.
Google have confirmed that from March 2021 they will be using ‘mobile-first indexing’. This blog post will tell you all the key things you need to know about this change and how to ensure your website doesn’t suffer!
Google confirmed on the 3rd of December that the third core algorithm update of the calendar year has begun rolling out. A fair amount of time has passed since the last core update, compared to the average time between these types of updates. The last core update rolled out on May 4th.
Google shared the advice that website owners should be “using permanent URLs for Black Friday pages rather than creating new URLs for each annual sale”
Back in 2017, Google’s John Mueller said, according to SEO Roundtable, that all guest posts on blogs, no matter how often you contribute, should have all links set to “nofollow”. This past week he added, even if those links are not paid for – as long as those links can potential pass signals – they should also be nofollowed.
Last week along with others, we noticed that recent broad core algorithm updates had resulted in a slow down in Google Search Console data and wanted to explain the possible reasons for this and why it might affect SEO monitoring for a short period of time.
