Here is a recap of what happened in the search forums today, through the eyes of the Search Engine Roundtable and other search forums on the web.

  • Evergreen GoogleBot Now On Chrome 78
    GoogleBot is now running Chrome 78, this started as soon as this past Friday, on November 1st. The stable version of Chrome 78 was released on October 22nd...
  • Peter Greets The Charlotte Hornets At Google
