Google’s Gary Illyes has stated that a substantial number of sites will migrate to mobile first index in the next month & half. He also announced Google’s upcoming plans for mobile-first index.

The last official announcement from Google about mobile-first indexing was during last summer, when Google’s John Mueller stated it was rolled out for individual sites which were ready. They initially planned to ensure that all sites migrated to mobile-first index by the start of 2018. However, the goal hasn’t been met.

Google has also stated that it won’t announce when migration to mobile-first index is complete. But after Illyes’s keynote at Pubcoin, it has become clear that the new index might never be rolled out for all sites.

Google has discontinued its support for news meta keywords tag. They introduced the new meta keywords tag particularly for news publishers in 2012 and discontinued supporting it a few months ago. Since Google didn’t announce about this change, publishers have continued using it. Usage of news meta keywords tag won’t help Google to understand the content of your news. This is because Google ignores it in the same way they ignore normal meta keywords tag. Though keeping them on pages is fine, Google doesn’t use it for Google News as it used to.

Yet another innovative approach that was updated months ago by Google to provide an incredible means of learning for people who want to dig deep into the information about a particular name or subject but at present it still belongs to the very new category. Moreover google brings out the very new ‘Google Trending Panel’ that helps in setting a different standard for the quick knowledge grabbing.Well, if you ask me what else is there with this topic,have a look at the below points.

You will be amazed to know how google brings in the most fresh way of recording the recrawl limits.

With this note lets see what is the defi nation and the other benefits of this brand new updation.

SEO professionals, web developers, and webmasters now have access to a new feature in the well-known website auditing tool Lighthouse.

Google has released a new Google Search Console beta which is live for everyone, including those who haven’t received the email notifications.You just need to go to https://search.google.com/search-console and click on the top right where “search properties” is mentioned. You will come across a few verified sites here.

However, you may not see the link from the old Google Search Console to the new one as of now. This is because Google is attempting to limit the traffic to the new one in order to acquire a handle on it.

Google has announced that July 2018 onwards PageSpeed tool will be used as a factor to rank pages in mobile search. Since 2010, speed is a factor that determines page rankings for desktop searches.

However, now it will be extended to mobile searches, as well.

This “Speed Update” will only target the pages that render the slowest loading experience to the users, as of now. This means, whether the page is affected by this algorithm update or not, wouldn’t be easy to determine.

Recently, in a Google Webmaster Hangout, John Mueller answered a query that would using the same content for product and category pages demote or affect any one or both the pages. He threw light on how Google handles duplication of content among product and category pages, the consequences of repeating snippets, and puts forward his opinion on how publishers should handle this.

Category pages consist product listings, which users can browse through and click on a specific product. They will be then redirected to the product page. The problem arises when these two contain the same content.

Google has recently released an important AMP testing tool update. Users can now access the tool in two ways. One, at its usual destination, and second, by entering AMP directly in the Google search bar.
