I tried doing this video four times, so the last time I rushed through it, so I apologize. I first discuss the app install interstitial penalty that went live this week. I then cover how the next Google Penguin update should be the continuous and real time version. Google’s Michael Fink said do not build apps just for the ranking boost. Google has launched a new tablet search results interface. Google said if you want featured snippets, try using schema markup. Moz has some SEO issues but it turns out Google is trying to be smart with redirects and failed at it. Google issued a PSA around content within JavaScript. Google said crawl rates do not always reflect ranking success. Google said GoogleBot should support HTTP2 very soon. Google may be working on a Set feature to consolidate Search Console profiles. Google also may be working on extending Search Analytics data in the Search Console from 90 days to a year, I hope. Google launched the ability to set special hours for holidays and events for your local business. Google is testing a split view in the search results for English and Hindi results in the same page. That was this past week in search at the Search Engine Roundtable.
