Daily Search Forum Recap: November 8, 2022

Published

on

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 said AI content isn’t necessarily bad but generally it is not content by the people, for the people and thus not what Google would consider helpful content. Google rewriting your titles is not a sign of a quality issue. Google is testing a new Google Merchant Center user interface. Google has new pre-owned labels on product results. PPC does get more marketing budget than SEO does.

Search Engine Roundtable Stories:

  • More From Google On AI Content – It’s About If The Content Is Helpful

    Since the October Spam update and the helpful content update, many SEOs are saying AI-generated content is being targeted by Google. The answer, as I said previously, is not really. Danny Sullivan from Google said again, it is not about if a human or a machine wrote it but rather if the content is helpful.
  • New Google Merchant Center User Interface Being Tested

    I am hearing some reports that Google is testing a new user interface for the Google Merchant Center. The new interface is not just some design changes but an overhaul of the way you use Merchant Center.
  • Google Search Shopping Pre-Owned Green Leaf Labels

    Google is showing a green leaf label that says “pre-owned” on Google Shopping results, which I guess are pre-owned. This shows both in the desktop and mobile Google Search shopping results.

  • More Spend On PPC Than SEO, Twitter Poll

    This should come as no surprise – but more people and companies spend more on PPC than on SEO. A Twitter poll from Lily Ray shows that but so does every other spending survey done in this industry.
  • Google Rewriting Your Titles Is Not A Sign Of A Quality Issue, Said Google

    Google’s John Mueller said on Twitter that Google rewriting your page titles is not a sign of a quality issue with your page or site. He said, some pages have good titles, some have bad – that is just the web. I am sure my title here could be better, so Google have at it.

  • Google Deck Of Cards Wall

    Here is an interesting wall that is at the Google NYC office. It is made up of I assume several decks of cards with the Google logo, made up of the reverse side of the cards.

Google Ranking Volatility Record, Forbes Advisor Slapped, Bing Generative Search Experience & More

We had more of the same Google ranking volatility but this time, we broke a record of the longest period of heated search ranking volatility ever. Google may have slapped Forbes Advisor with some sort of penalty. Bing generative search experience is now rolling out. I posted the big Google October 2024 webmaster report. Google Search Console released sticky performance filters. Google Search Console recommendations is now fully rolled out but more people see it. Danny Sullivan, Google’s Search Liaison, was interviewed again, this time by Aledya Solis. Google warned about using JavaScript generated product markup. Google spoke again about noindex versus canonical tags. Google said don’t use a generic coming soon page for new pages. Bing Search can get dates and times wrong for search snippets. Microsoft Advertising has a new ad console experience, and new diagnostics and performance snapshot. Bing is testing replacing the ad label with a sponsored label. Google Shopping is testing a new updated interface with expandable refinements. Google Local Service Ads has a new bidding option for target cost per lead. BingBot celebrated its 14th birthday. Google didn’t celebrate its 26th birthday for some reason. I am offline today and yesterday for Rosh Hashanah, so this video and post was pre-recorded and scheduled. The Google AI Overview news did not make it into the video, as I recorded it before I was given a heads-up on this news. That was the search news this week at the Search Engine Roundtable.

Honey Ser

This is a programming note that Thursday and Wednesday are Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year and I will be offline the next two days. I will be offline on Thursday and Wednesday, October 3rd and October 4th.

There will be stories posted each day, all of them were pre-written before the holiday and scheduled to be posted. I will be completely offline, so any social media posts or anything coming from this site, or my social channels are all scheduled beforehand.

I apologize for any spammy comments that slip through while should note while I am offline, I will do my best to catch up late Saturday night after nightfall.

If there are any Google algorithm updates or big news that I miss, I will catch up on them in the coming days.

Thank you all for reading, commenting, and sharing every day – I appreciate it.

Feel free to check out the archives or catch up with the weekly videos or just browse the search pics. Oh, and if you have nothing to do, feel free to subscribe to my YouTube channel.

I wanted to wish all my Jewish readers a happy, healthy, successful, and sweet new year! I wish all my readers a happy, healthy, and successful remainder of the year.

There will be a lot of days this month when I am offline for Jewish holidays – so brace yourself.
