SE Ranking took 2nd place according to a post by Search Engine Journal. I disagree with the assessment in the snippet above that to track multiple websites you need the $39/month plan. On the Personal 50 plan, which I enrolled for $5/month with a coupon code, I can monitor up to 5 websites. It’s a great way to get a powerful suite of SEO tools and scale accordingly as your business grows.
While checking on my keyword positions for various search terms listed in the Performance tab of Google Search Console I noticed something new. Directly above the results was a snapshot of how that particular keyword performed for clicks, impressions, and average position. Essentially the same information that is reported from Search Console.
Another month, and another installment of Niche Dreams. A lot of effort went into my niche website this month. I feel confident that all of the hard work I’ve put in will pay off in the near future. What surprises me the most is the positive feedback I’ve received for this blog series. Honestly, I didn’t expect much awareness of these posts since I’m not really promoting them. I submit them to Google and fully understand that they will get buried in the search results for other case studies of Amazon affiliates. I owe many thanks to the Niche Pursuits […]
There was nothing out of the ordinary that I noticed this week for my own website rankings. I know that some website owners and administrators are still reeling from the medic update that occurred about a month ago. I would expect that Google wouldn’t roll out any more major changes for at least another month or so. They seem to be focused on cosmetic changes at the moment.
I have to say, the image search interface is very visually appealing. I appreciate the similar search terms directly below the query with related pictures. Notice the rounded borders encircling these terms? It fits the new style of the address bar in the latest version of Chrome.
How time flies. I’ve been browsing the internet since the mid-90’s, but I’m hard-pressed to recall what search engine I used before Google came into existence back in 1998. Yahoo? Or maybe Altavista? Whatever it was, it’s now a distant memory.
They aren’t exaggerating when saying thousands of websites are affected. ZDNet provided an example of a Google search query that contained malicious javascript code. The results of this query are now over 9,000. These websites range from law firms to non-profit organizations. Some of the websites I checked still had this garbage code sprawled all over their home page.
I should’ve realized a long time ago the referral traffic that can be gained from Quora. They’ve had a firm grip on question-form search queries for years now. Specifically, questions that begin with do or does. It’s quite common to find a result from Quora on the first page of Google when used in that context. I believe that in order to succeed in obtaining Quora referral traffic, your answers need to be deep and informative. Since the links are no-follow you won’t get any SEO juice, but if you target questions that pertain to your business or niche, that becomes irrelevant.
I must’ve missed the August 3rd outage. I don’t recall it affecting me. I do remember the September 3rd outage that lasted roughly 90 minutes. Perhaps Facebook will go for the trifecta with an October 3rd blackout?
I must’ve received over 50 of these emails this week for the various websites I manage. Back in April, I reported getting my first notice for mobile-first indexing. I do find it strange that Google feels the need to inform webmasters of this via email. Why not just have it pop up in Google Search.
