Content consolidation among winning SEO strategies, award winners say - 0 views

  • something that I see really frequently with sites that are negatively impacted by recent core updates is that they have produced so much content for so long–and maybe way back when the content did really well for SEO–but the rules of the game, kind of changed. 
  • you have great product pages, service pages, brand pages, but there’s this blog that has so much content on it. And in many cases that content was not up to par with what we would expect nowadays with good quality content. So it’s really chipping away at that and just making sure that whatever is being indexed by search engines is truly high-quality content.
  • if you see that there’s really no organic traffic going to the page, not a lot of page views, not a lot of engagement, maybe it hasn’t ranked for anything in a few years, that makes it a lot easier to recommend what to do with it. And it’s not always just delete it. In many cases, it’s consolidated into this one, redirect it, and update that existing article.

e-Commerce SEO Case Study: The short and long-term ranking impact of removing long and ... - 0 views

  • I’m not saying every site should nuke or replace their long descriptions and I’ll cover the various nuances in this post. But, I do think every site owner should review their category page content, understand what real users want to see, provide the best experience possible
  • removing 30% of the description content from the original implementation clearly didn’t hurt those pages long-term. Actually, the description content was better for users with more relevant information.
  • the site’s search visibility surge with the July 2021 core update. So, clearly those new, shorter category descriptions aren’t hurting the site or rankings for those pages.
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • Run some short-term testing of category description changes (just keep in mind this will only show the immediate impact rankings-wise
  • Do what’s best for your users and your site long-term based on the user study, your understanding of your niche, the short-term testing, etc.

  • There isn't a defined order of priority for rich results types, and in many cases we don't show multiple types for the same page. If you have a preference on a page, I'd recommend focusing just on that

Google Says Don't Blindly Replace Your HTML Title Tags With Google's Titles - 0 views

  • maybe there are cases where Google's algorithms have selected a better title and where it makes sense to kind of go in that direction. But there are certainly also situations where maybe Google's algorithms select the a worse title and where you want to keep the one that you had there or maybe you even want to improve the one that you had previously. So I wouldn't just blindly use what we show in search

Google Title Tag Update: A Highlight for Extraction Methods & Approaches to SEO - Brodi... - 0 views

  • Google made a change to how title tags are shown for sites sometime around August 17th/18th in 2021
  • Overall, there has been a decline in the length of title tags (according to Rank Ranger) within Google’s search results on both mobile and desktop. This however doesn’t appear to be a result of a pixel limit change.
  • In some instances, the new title has been taken from header tags, internal links, image alt text, or even made up completely by Google.
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • Google really wants to make sure that the brand name is visible within the title tag, so it can be re-written to become well-suited to having the brand name on the end of the snippet.
  • Google has confirmed that when they show a different title in search results compared to what has been specified, this will not impact your rankings for that page

Google Shares How 301 Redirects Pass PageRank - Search Engine Journal - 0 views

  • A redirect from one page to an entirely different page will result in no PageRank being passed and will be considered a soft 404.
  • the 301 redirect will pass 100% PageRank only if the redirect was a redirect to a new page that closely matched the topic of the old page.
  • Is there any link equity loss from redirect chains?
  • ...1 more annotation...
