I will be discussion predictive search at SMX Israel, it will be fun. Google is now telling webmasters they need to wait a few weeks between reconsideration requests. Google might not index your sitemap URLs if they have a canonical issue with your site. Google says don’t charge URLs for SEO purposes. Google can’t crawl your robots.txt file, the you got an issue. Should you use UserInteractions schema on your site? Googles were working on New Years and we have the New Years search engine logos for you.
