GoDaddy Rep Said AdSense & Analytics Improves Google Indexing, It Does Not

Google Says Using The Indexing API For Other Content Types Won't Hurt Or Help

An individual chat support representative at GoDaddy told a knowledgeable SEO that adding
Google AdSense and/or Google Analytics help with getting your content indexed by Google. John Mueller of Google said that was not true, and that someone should communicate that to the GoDaddy rep.

John Mueller responded to that statement saying “They’re wrong – neither AdSense nor Analytics affects indexing.”

Shameem Adhikarath posted about this on Twitter sharing this screenshot of this chat with GoDaddy:

Here is how John replied:

John also added that “You don’t have to fix everything everywhere” when the rep didn’t really take this SEOs advice.

Just be careful what SEO advice you listen to…

Microsoft Fills Data Gap In Bing Webmaster Tools API

Published

Bing Api Datas Bottle

Microsoft has fixed the missing data in the Bing Webmaster Tools API. As a reminder, there was a bug that caused the Bing Webmaster Tools API to stop working, then Microsoft fixed it but about a weeks of data was missing. Now, Microsoft has filled the data gap with the missing data.

Fabrice Canel from Microsoft confirmed the issue with the missing data was resolved late Sunday night, saying on Twitter, “And the API now reports on all missing days.” Glenn Gabe, who first spotted this data issue, confirmed the following day that the data was indeed backfilled:

Again, here is the previous issue:

So now, it is a good time to go back in and request the data from the API so you can fill any missing data gaps you have in your software.

Google Search Console Core Web Vitals Report May Report On More URLs

Published

on

Google Core Web Vitals Monitors

Google updated the Core Web Vitals report in Google Search Console on March 27, 2023. The update may have resulted in a change in the number of URLs in your Core Web Vitals report, the search company wrote.

Google wrote, “You may see a change in the number of URLs in your Core Web Vitals report. This is because more URLs are now being reported on due to a new origin group that contains data for URLs that previously fell below the data threshold.”

You should see a little marker notifying you of this update in the report, here is what it looks like:

Here is more about URL Groups from the Google help document:

URLs in the report are grouped into pages that have a similar user experience. The LCP, FID, and CLS status applies to the entire group. Some outlier URLs might have better or worse values on some visits, but 75% of visits to all URLs in the group experienced the group status shown. It is assumed that these groups have a common framework and the reasons for any poor behavior of the group will likely be caused by the same underlying reasons.

In order to respect user privacy, a URL group must have a minimum amount of data to be shown in the report. If a URL group doesn’t have enough information to display in the report, Search Console creates a higher-level origin group that should contain enough URLs and data to show in the report. This origin group contains data for all URLs in the same protocol://host:port group. For example, if the URL https://m.example.com/a/b/c.html is part of a group that doesn’t have enough data to show, then Search Console will create the origin group https://m.example.com. This origin group contains data for all URLs under https://m.example.com, whether or not the URL also belongs to a group with sufficient data.

Note, I don’t think Core Web Vitals are that vital to SEO, so I wouldn’t get bogged down in these reports for SEO or ranking reasons.

Google News Might Not Fully Render A Page Before Showing It In Search

Published

on

Google Robot Reading Newspaper On Bench

Gary Illyes from Google said that in some cases, Google may not fully render a page before showing it in Google Search or Google News. It depends on how timely that content is and how quickly Google needs to index and serve it in Google Search.

That does not mean Google won’t render the page fully, it will, eventually. But if a story is breaking and Google wants to show it in Google Search within minutes of the story being published, Google might have to come back later and fully render it later. Immediately, Google might process the HTML and then come back and render the page later to better understand the page.

Here are those tweets from Gary Illyes on this topic:

This is a small technicality, but yea, eventually Google will make an effort to render the page and Google is not slow at doing that.
