This week I covered how I was a bit disappointed in the explanation Google posted about the indexing bugs it has had over the past few months. Google also warned us about leasing out your subdomains to third-parties to host their content on. Google said they may notify webmasters when featured snippets are removed. Google said they try to recognize the author details, reviewer details and overall site quality. Google has new issue types in the Google Search Console rich results report. Google said the native lazy loading feature in Chrome 76 will be in the evergreen GoogleBot as well. Google said nofollow links for any monetary reason. Yes, removing links from your disavow file will no longer disavow that link. Stop spamming Google with your link spam lists. Google said Instagram embeds don’t work too well for SEO. Google News has a bug with its location operator. Google My Business can’t transfer reviews but now it can let hotels edit hotel amenities and services. Google My Business now lets you review your reviews in bulk across multiple listings. Google is testing new user interface features including more results button, infinite scroll, larger fonts and much more. Google Ads is cutting off some headlines and descriptions for some reason. That was this past week in search at the Search Engine Roundtable and don’t forget to subscribe!
