Google is testing the ability to click on a word in a featured snippet within Google Search and define that word. You can also copy the word, if you want. I think this is a Google Search test and maybe not a Chrome test.

This was spotted by Punit who posted a video of this in action on Twitter, here is a screenshot of this video:

Here is the video embed:

Google added “define” option to know definition of selected Term (popup)

The reason I think this is a Google Search test and not a Chrome test is because he lost his Google session and was not able to trigger it again. I can be wrong and this might be a Chrome test and not a Google Search test.

Google is also testing this in other areas of the search results:

Google SERP is testing define options for the definition of limited search terms. Define options are shown in featured snippets, people also ask, Sponsored ads, organic results description & Local business. Have you seen this.

Google’s John Mueller said on Reddit, when it comes to SEO, do not pick a cheap domain on a TLD that is overrun with spam.

The question on Reddit was, “Does it matter for SEO if my site is .com / .site /or any other?” The individual added, “I still have the feeling that my site is not well indexed and wondering if the domain address can be the issue.”

John’s response makes it sound like the .site TLD is a spammy TLD that is a bit overrun by spammy sites.

So be careful which TLD you buy your new domain on, not all are equal.

How do you know which TLDs are spammy? Well, Spamhaus.org has a lot.

Google posted an update that it is currently working on linking your Google AdSense account with your Google Analytics 4 property as it offers with Universal Analytics 3.

The update was posted in this AdSense help document at the top and reads, “Google Analytics 4 update: We’re currently working on an update to allow you to link your AdSense account with Google Analytics 4. We’ll let you know when it’s ready. In the meantime, we encourage you to continue making the switch to GA4.”

This was spotted by Charles Farina on Friday who posted this screenshot of it on Twitter:

Well, we got less than 30 days Google…
