Usual stuff. Positions haven't changed for any important (top10) keywords, but traffic halved yesterday. Fed up with analysing - if Google wants to fill the results with dog-shit sites, so be it.

No, have not. We haven't noticed changes, but some things seem a little bit weird.

I'm finding some fluctuation. Got any idea, what update made by Google. Its really frustrating to work as an SEO because of regular google updates.

This is sick and a total disrespect to creator or copyright if Google still cares of course.

Oh it's coming back. They'll just make it in a way that doesn't show the URL. Google <i>will be the content</i>. Soon.

Zanet commented on Google Adds Messaging Button To Google Posts

Looks like a great idea , though I can only believe that this is part of a big effort from Google wanting a live interaction from users and businesses - If only Google led the way, they are barely a shining example in quick interaction!

I saw a TON of volatility in the monitoring tools and saw some dips for a few client's competitors, but nothing terribly dramatic.

Alex commented on Google Says Others Copying Your Content Wouldn't Make You Rank Lower

publish any of your main website article (with internal links) on any free hosting website. Give google to find this article on free hosting and watch how main website tanks.

Alex commented on Google Says Others Copying Your Content Wouldn't Make You Rank Lower

It happens because these scraper websites copying also your internal links (with url to your website without nofollow) with keywords in anchor (exact copies of your pages). And publishing it on their zero backlinks or spammy backlinks domains. This problem totally ignored by google. Your only way to find these scraper websites using ahrefs/seomoz/gwt and disavow these sites. But find such websites is extremely extremely hard task without help of google (google love to hide important backlinks to your website in gwt and indexing extremely bad-quality spam links).

Alex commented on Google Says Others Copying Your Content Wouldn't Make You Rank Lower

But if scrappers copy your webpages with your internal links - than google will tank your site. It was confirmed many times with my site and only disavow can help. Since on your website you using keywords in anchor internally - any scrapper which not deleting your links - will kill your website (until disavow). Here may be some exception for biggest sites like wikipedia or similar.

Google can be pretty adamant about their ability to give the original publisher a good ranking for their own content. In other words you think that Google must runk a bad sites because they are original publisher. It is bad idea. Every searcher needs to find an information, the answer that placed on a quality website. Many searchers not interested in who is original publisher. Also it is a big question how to identify "original publisher" for a lot of articles "What is SEO?". Also, your example doesn't confirm that Google make website rank lower because smb. copied content.

Would this have anything to do with people stuffing keywords into their business name and Google has decided to finally enforce it?

David Scarpitta commented on Google Says Others Copying Your Content Wouldn't Make You Rank Lower

I first hand have had "older and aged sites", outrank my own authentic listings on newer ecommerce sites because of scrapers and content re-purposed. In fact so much., that we have limited other affiliate companies using our brand terms, because they would compete directly with us, and skim commissions just for the referral. It's a big issue, don't let anyone tell you otherwise. If you have any questions about this, then you can contact me directly at: https://www.youtube.com/user/howtogetfoundonline OR You can ask me directly at https://www.davidscarpitta.com Just because a "news article" doesn't display this trend does not mean it isn't a MAJOR PROBLEM in other verticals.

Chandler Black commented on Google My Business Listings Disappear Within Console

Hey guys, I work for an agency and last week 3/5 listings for an account we manage just disappeared. Google support has been absolutely unhelpful - is there any action that can be taken here? I've tried linking through the original owner access invitation email but nothing

snuffy commented on Google Says Others Copying Your Content Wouldn't Make You Rank Lower

I don't agree. Here's an example: Berkeley News publishes an article about zebra finches on November 19 at this URL... https://news.berkeley.edu/2020/11/19/zebra-finches-are-amazing-at-unmasking-the-bird-behind-the-song/ Science Daily republished almost identical article on November 21 at this URL... https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2020/11/201121104309.htm Today if I go to the SERPs and query the article title in quotes, Science Daily outranks Berkeley News. Berkeley News and other members of the academic press are heavily republished. Some articles (including the example) are republished on dozens, hundreds or even thousand of other websites. The original publisher seems to me, to get lost in the index. And, sites like Science Daily, which are very powerful sites, and make their living by republishing, get an awful lot of traffic using verbatim content of others. There is nothing wrong with what Science Daily does. But I think that this shows it is very possbile that the republishers can outrank the original source. Google can be pretty adamant about their ability to give the original publisher a good ranking for their own content. But, I believe that if they look at a large number of articles on Science Daily, and many other academic republishers, and they will see that the original source often is not surfaced in the SERPs in a position that will be useful for bringing in traffic. This example is "Berkeley News" which, I think, should be given good rankings, just because they are on a great domain. So my little pissant site would be totally overrun if a lot of other domains grabbed my content and republished it. This stuff happens in image search too. Go to image search and query a random topic where you would expect to find pretty images, then count the number of images hosted on pinterest.com in the top 100 positions. There is usually a lot of them... and pinterest is getting the traffic instead of the the website of the creator. Remember the sandbox? I believe that happened because lots of scraper websites grabbed the new content of emergent blogs, republished it, and squeezed those little blogs right out of decent positions in the SERPs.

I had an affiliate GMB suspended last night with a notice around 10:30pm. I fixed the issues I knew where the problem, and submitted a review request, and they approved it 2:54am this morning. Wow, they are on top of these. Hope it works out for you.

Be better off suspending those with flakey positive reviews. How a local guide in Canada can have their carpets cleaned by a call-our service in Manchester, UK is anyone's guess.
