      THS has this situation. According to John Mueller, it's nothing to worry about!
  • We already ignore links from sites like that, where there are unlikely to be natural links. No need to disavow :)

  • The last-modification date is useful if you want those pages recrawled / reprocessed, so if something significant changed, that sounds like a good fit. If you're just changing sidebar, styling, dynamic items, etc - then probably not.

  • If it's loaded in the HTML and can be made visible to users, that's fine. It's problematic if the tab content only loads when you click on the tab

The Bedlam Update [November 5-10, 2019]: What You Need To Know - Sterling Sky Inc - 0 views

  • November 5, 2019We started seeing huge changes in the local results (map packs) on this date.  Every client I checked had shifted and most of them were major.
  • I notice this every time there is a major shift in local rankings.  You’ll start seeing spam that wasn’t showing before.  If you work in an industry that has a lot of spam, I would almost expect this to happen.
  • I am hearing a lot of stories over at the Local Search Forum about listings vanishing.  If this is the case, it’s a strong possibility that your listing is filtered.  Listings that are near the same location of another business or share a website/phone number can have their ranking suppressed or missing altogether from the local results.

Google My Business discontinues toll free phone support - Search Engine Land - 0 views

  • You can no longer dial into a phone number and immediately get someone from Google to listen to your problem.
  • Instead, you can fill out a form and ask someone at Google to call you back from this form. “You’ll still be able to request a toll free call from a support specialist under the ‘Contact Us’ options in the Google My Business Help Center,” Google said.

  • Don't use robots.txt to block indexing of URLs with parameters. If you do that, we can't canonicalize the URLs, and you lose all of the value from links to those pages. Use rel-canonical, link cleanly internally, etc.

What is your strategy to keep your xml sitemap up-to-date on a large ever changing webs... - 0 views

  • Automate it on your backend (generate the files based on your local database). That way you can ping sitemap files immediately when something changes, and you have an exact last-modification date. Don't crawl your own site, Google already does that.
  • Wordpress sitemaps generators tend to do this across the board, since they have access to the site's database directly. There are various of those out there, some of them are integrated into more general plugins too

  • It depends on the site & how often we usually recrawl it (and sometimes we're limited by the server too). If there are critical URLs in there, you can also just submit them manually.
