SEO Bits & Pieces 24th November 2017

SEO Bits Pieces 24th November 2017

  • Booo! Google has no plans for an API to access the Structured Data Testing Tool – despite this being one of the most useful tools known to man. Sometimes, it feels like Google only goes halfway with being helpful to webmasters. Note he says *public* plans. Makes you wonder if there are some private APIs floating around…
  • Bye bye “site’s robots.txt” description in SERPs and hello “No information is available for this page”, which is possibly true, but completely anodyne and thoroughly un-useful.  It’s as if Google us hell-bent on removing anything technical from their results.
  • In a bizarre turn of events, Danny Sullivan, recently appointed to Google’s Sinecure program, was to be found answering an enraged (okay, mildly miffed) Matt Cutts query over FUBAR search results. Yes, the world does move in mysterious ways.
  • This is a good piece about the industry struggles over Fake Reviews, and how they are now the bleeding edge of wild west behaviour and spam. Don’t do it kids, it not worth the risk.
