John Mueller to me seems like a real genuine person and someone who is in a tough position every day trying to balance the line of defending the Google search results while helping some people who try to manipulate those same results. Each Christmas eve for over 12 years, John Mueller has been helping webmasters with their problems.
Time he should be with his family, he takes out a chunk of that time, to delve into the webmaster forums and find issues he can help with. Maybe a webmaster is really depressed or anxious over the holidays - if he can help just one of those webmasters over Christmas, it is such a special thing.
Like I said, he's been doing this for over 12 years including today and 2017, 2016, 2015, 2014, 2013, 2012, 2011, 2010, 2009, 2008, and 2007. Every single year, without a question, he is there, looking to help webmasters.
Today is no difference, he posted in at least three different threads thus far, as far as I know including:
- Google-selected canonical completely irrelevant
- 11,000 Pages With Failed: Crawl anomaly - Test Live Site Fine - No Server Log Errors
- warning from robot file
- Sitemap xml for images
- Images not Index in Google ?
- Webpages removed, but their images are still in Google search
As I say every year, Thanks John and the whole webmaster analyst team for everything you guys do to support the SEO community. I know we often act like we don't appreciate it - but we really do. Thank you so much.
