This weekend there may have been yet another Google Search algorithm ranking update. This one is a bit different in that the chatter was pretty low, maybe that is because of the Labor Day weekend? But the tools, almost all of them, spiked higher than the September 1st update that had a lot more chatter than this September 4th update.

This is the second time I interviewed Dan Shure, the first time was in vlog #20, where I went to his office. This time…

Google has announced yesterday afternoon that the Google page experience update is now done rolling out, this includes being fully live in Google Search and Top Stories. Google said in a week, it will also be fully live in the Google News App.

Google’s John Mueller said that when you change your sites IP address, maybe because you are moving to a new server, it would be mostly a “non-issue” for ranking and SEO purposes. But it can have a temporary impact on your crawl rate as Google learns how much it can crawl the new server.

Here is a recap of what happened in the search forums today…

“In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes” — Benjamin Franklin Wise words from a wise man. Ben did harness electricity (cool!), as well as invent the bifocals (helpful!) and the folding catheter (gross!) after all. And while taxes, deductions and reportable earnings aren’t the most exciting topics, they’re all important for you to know. One HUGE caveat before we get started: none of us at CD Baby are tax professionals. While we will be incorporating advice from a few experts along the way, the purpose of this article is to impart some basic […]

Martin Splitt from Google said it is not necessary to have all your site’s functionality operate like it would for a user, when you are prerendering for GoogleBot. He said you don’t have to worry about this for Google Search purposes.

This week, I posted the monthly Google webmaster report – catch up there on search topics you may have missed. Google may have done a search ranking algorithm update on September 1st. Google did say the page experience update is done rolling out…

With Google’s plans to drop support for expanded text ads for responsive search ads, some paid search experts are asking if the Google Ads quality scores will change. Ginny Marvin from Google said on Twitter no, “Quality score isn’t changing.”

Microsoft Bing is testing a feature to let searchers skip down to the web results, past the ads, past the knowledge panels and direct answers and people also ask boxes and just see those web results. The link is attached to the left side bar of the page and anchors you down to the proper portion of the search results.

Part of the latest version of the Chrome beta, not out to the masses yet, is a feature named “continuous search.” Continuous search basically will show you search results along the top of the page when you are browsing web sites. Essentially, it can show your competitors sites when people are looking at your site.

There are some signs of the start of a Google search ranking algorithm update that kicked off on September 1, 2021. The truth is, it seemed like an update touched down for a short period of time and then slowed down. There are not a huge number of complaints, but the tools are picking up on the fluctuations in the Google search results.

Well, I got to say, the last month was an interesting one for webmasters, marketers and SEOs in the Google organic space.

Oh and that update might be bigger than just a tiebreaker but it is still pretty small.
