Here is a recap of what happened in the search forums today...

Google Featured Snippets Tests Also Covered On This Page Links

Posted:

Google is testing or rolling out a new feature for its featured snippets section named "also covered on this page." Google is adding below the main featured snippet, other topics the page covers, that hyperlink, anchor you down and then highlight that content.

Google Sent 2.9 Million Manual Webspam Actions In 2020; Less Than Previous Years

Posted:

While Google already published its annual web spam report for 2020, yesterday Google also published a bit more details on how the company tackled webspam in 2020. Specifically, Google said it sent out less manual webspam actions than previous years, 2.9 million in 2020, due to its algorithms tackling the spam automatically.

Google: SEO Does Not Cause Visible Problems On Websites

Posted:

Google's John Mueller said on Twitter that he has "never seen a site where that was an issue which caused visible problems with SEO." I wonder if any of you have. I suspect where SEOs stuff up the pages with content where it causes the page flow to be weird? Maybe some hacked spam SEO causing issues (but that is hacking, not SEO really).

Google Tests Expandable More Specific Searches

Posted:

In April we saw Google testing a new related search box named more specific searches. Now, we are seeing Google test an expandable version of the more specific searches.
