  In the recent Google Search Central SEO hangout recorded on 19th February 2021, Google’s John Mueller has answered some questions about best  SEO  practices for news sites, especially since it relates to uploading short articles. According to Mueller, news websites need not worry too much about the length of their articles as sometimes short content is better for a given search query. During the latest Google Search Central SEO hangout, Mueller answered a question put forward by an SEO practitioner who manages a news website. She wanted to know the risks of having shorter articles regarded as thin content. Further adding to her statement, she said that she is even thinking about noindex-ing the shorter articles, which can be as short as a paragraph in length, in case this will help her website in search rankings. Now, these concerns are valid since Google is known to devaluate thin content. Moreover, Google’s Panda update is designed to minimize the prevalence of low-qu...

  John Mueller, the Senior Webmaster Trends Analyst at Google, said that the search engine giant might roll out Web Stories to SERPs in additional regions if more websites begin posting them. In a recent live stream on Google Search Central, John Mueller reveals that this applies to all search features. During the live stream, a website owner asked Mueller if there is any information about Web Stories being rolled out to the SERPs in more countries. Currently, Web Stories are available in the SERPs in India, Brazil, and the United States. The website owner here wants to lay the groundwork for when Google Web Stories will be supported in search results in their country. With John Mueller’s response to this question, what we discovered is website owners can themselves impact the search engine’s decision to launch search features (Google Web Stories in this case) in additional regions. They can do so by preparing ahead of time. Let’s discuss this in detail now. WEBSITE OWNERS CAN INFL...

All websites need to be secure, and when it comes to malicious attacks, there are no “too insignificant” or “too useless” sites. Every site is equally vulnerable to such threats and in need of apt security. Online businesses are entirely focused on higher SEO rankings for their online reputation as well as the bottom line. This is why they usually enforce the most practical SEO techniques, including content marketing, link building, mobile optimization, etc., to wind up on the first page of search results.

Therefore,  SEO  and cybersecurity go hand in hand towards creating a business’ online reputation. If t...

  Over the last couple of years, some  SEO  old hands have announced loud and clear that PageRank Sculpting does not exist anymore. But they got it all wrong. In reality, larger websites have more PageRank, and therefore PageRank Sculpting can be done more effectively. PageRank still matters in Google, and its algorithms are used to deliver high-quality results to the users. It might sound very conventional today but experimenting with PageRank is always fun as it is an on-site strategy that you can fully control. Indeed it is great to earn new links, but it is time-consuming. Instead of putting in so much time and effort to build new links, maximizing the utility of your already existing ones seems to be a smarter thing to do. Moreover, websites that have substantial existing backlink profiles can implement this tactic to see more instant results. If you are not leveraging PageRank, you are actually missing out on a golden opportunity, especially if you own a large websi...
