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.

Check out the new Google Ads Editor, version 2.1, with a snazzy overview screen. Google added its own timeline for confirmed Google updates. Google Ads improved its location targeting features. Google Merchant Center will no longer disapprove listings that have “website needs improvement.” Google said the ratio of follow to nofollow is not an SEO thing. And I posted my weekly video recap.

Google: Ratio Of Follow To Nofollow Links Never Causes SEO Issues

Google’s John Mueller said on Reddit that any SEO or search ranking issues your site has would not be related to any sort of ratio between follow to nofollow links on your site. John said it is just not a thing and not the cause of any ranking issues.

Mikhail Parakhin from Microsoft shared how often the different modes in Microsoft Copilot, formerly known as Bing Chat, are used. There is Balanced mode, creative mode and precise mode. Balanced mode gets 60-70% of the usages, whereas the other two modes get about 15% each.

Mikhail wrote on X, “Balanced is the most popular, maybe 60-70% of the people (it is the fastest and the default). Creative and Precise are 15%-ish each.”

Bing Chat Copilot Modes

Here are those posts:

I thought creative mode would get more usage than precise mode because of the image generation aspect but I guess I was wrong.

To learn more about these chat modes, read this story.

The Google November 2023 core update and Google November 2023 reviews update are still both rolling out, and we have no estimated time of when they will finish rolling out. Both are well past their estimated two-week rollout period. I ran a poll yesterday asking SEOs when they think it will be done, and most said in December and not in the next few days left of November.

The poll had just under 600 votes in 24-hours and 79% said the update will be completed in December and 21% said in the last days remaining in November. I posted the poll on X – here it is:

Will the Google core and reviews update finish in November or December?

— Barry Schwartz (@rustybrick) November 27, 2023

Personally, I thought it would be done by now and I still think it will be done in the next day or so – but I am wrong a lot. 🙂

I do hope it is done today so they can roll out the Christmas holiday update (kidding…).

Update: I’ll have a story tomorrow but at least one of the updates is done in November:

The roll-out of the November core update is now complete.https://t.co/geIJA2Bg8g

Google Search Console Was Down Today

Google Search Console seems to be down right now. If you try to access it, you will get a 500 server error. I suspect Search Console will be back up shortly but right now, if it is down for you, you are not alone.

Update: At 8:52 am ET Google Search Console is back, the tool was offline for about 50 minutes.

Google’s Daniel Waisberg is 100% aware of the issue. He responded to some posts about the issue, saying, “we’re working on it.” John Mueller from Google is also reposting Daniel’s posts on X.

Here is what it looked like when you tried to access it while it was down:

Search Console went down at about 8 am ET and returned at 8:52 am ET.

Here are the posts on X from Daniel Waisberg of Google on this issue:

I was looking for a plug to charge my phone, so I had to unplug the server 🤷‍♂️

— Daniel Waisberg (@danielwaisberg) November 27, 2023

Joking aside, we’re working on it! 👨‍💻

— Daniel Waisberg (@danielwaisberg) November 27, 2023

Who knows, maybe we will have a new Search Console feature when it returns?

Here are some of the complaints:

Search Console its down atm.
