Google’s Mobile First Index Live For a Few Sites I’m kind of enjoying this approach from Google, of slowly rolling out the Mobile First Index. Don’t scare the horses springs to mind. I think we’ll see it gather pace in the next few months, once teething issues are ironed out, but it will still take a very long time for the Mobile First Index to roll out fully, if it ever does.

Google Still Says Fred Wasn’t a Major Algorithm Update I think Google confuses itself, but it really doesn’t like admitting it. Apparently, the Fred Update wasn’t really an update, or at least not a specific enough update to really give it a name and worry about it. It was just an every day BAU update, if you believe Google. Or something more, if you were hit by it. Read the full story at the link beneath, including making your site effectively algorithm proof. #SEO #SEONews #GoogleUpdates #SERP … Read More Like this:Like Loading...

Google Says Search Algorithm Monitoring Tools Get It Right I like how one week Google is dissing the algo monitoring tools as scrapers, and the next…. Well, they kind of begrudgingly admit the tools are often right. Regrettably, though, Google declined to say when the tools are wrong, and by how much, or the updates the tools miss. Read the insights and recommended actions as a result of this revelation from Google. #SEO #SEONews #GoogleUpdates #SERP … Read More Like this:Like Loading...
Google SEO Update Possum Rolled Back I love it when a Google update rolls back and people get re-listed.
