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

The SEO Impact Of The Google May 2022 Broad Core Update

Posted:

Last week, on May 26th, Google released the long awaited Google May 2022 core update. The update really kicked into high gear quickly, with a ton of volatility noticed within 24-hours after it was formally launched.

Google News Performance Report Reporting Issue (May 12 - May 26)

Posted:

Google Search Console has yet another reporting bug, this one is with the Google News performance report. The data between May 12, 2022 and May 26, 2022 may show a drop due to a logging error. Google said there was no real drop in Google Search even if the reports showed one.

Google Business Profiles Bug Temporarily Drops Product Management Features For Merchant Center

Posted:

The folks at WhiteSpark showed screenshots of Google Business Profile limiting the control you have over your product listings within your local panel. They showed how "businesses can no longer edit existing Products on their Google Business Profiles and can only add new Products through Merchant Center." Google later on in the day reverted this change.

Google Tests Knowledge Panel Without A Box Border

Posted:

Google is testing a user interface where it does not surround a knowledge panel completely with a box. Instead, there is just this vertical divider line in the desktop results.

Google Suspends Job Training Rich Results

Posted:

Google has officially suspended (pun intended) the job training rich results, this is something Google did by accident in January 2021 but now it is official. Google said they "ultimately found that it wasn't useful for the ecosystem at scale."

Here is a recap of what happened in the search forums today, through the eyes of the Search Engine Roundtable and other search forums on the web...

Google Core Updates Uses Data Before Launch But May Update Data Between Launches

Posted:

Google's John Mueller was asked what are the timeframes for the data used when calculating quality metrics for the Google broad core updates. John said that there is a lot of "work that's done well in advance" and "usually with data collected until then," then being just before it rolls out.

Rumor: Apple To Announce New Search Engine Next Week

Posted:

Robert Scoble posted a bunch of items around what to expect from the Apple World Wide Developer Conference (WWDC) that is happening Monday, June 6th. Robert said a bunch of things but specific to search he said "and a new search engine is coming too."

Google Featured Snippet With Question Header

Posted:

I am honestly not sure if this is new, but I tried to replicate this and it took a few tries on various mobile browsers to trigger it. Google is showing a featured snippet that leads with a question in the header of the snippet.

Google SEO Question: How Much Plagiarism Percentage-wise Is Allowed?

Posted:

I spotted a weird question that was asked of Google's John Mueller around plagiarism. The question was, what percentage level of plagiarism does Google allow so a site can rank in Google. Is it 5%, 10%, etc? The question is weird but I guess there are some myths out there around it being okay to plagiarize content for SEO purposes?

Google AdWords API Error Rates Begins June 1st

Posted:

As you know, Google has sunset the AdWords API on April 27th. But Google let it work over the past month or so. Well, starting June 1st, Google will increase the rates of errors you get when trying to use the old AdWords API from 50% error rate on June 1st to 100% error rate on July 31, 2022.
