The "August 2023 SEO Core Update" by Google revamped ranking algorithms, emphasizing content quality, user experience, and mobile-friendliness. It led to ranking shifts across industries. Adapting with high-quality content, mobile optimization, and diverse backlinks is key to sustaining online presence.

[tanadrin]

so if i am understanding this correctly, the argument is that round about 2019 somebody decided the best way to measure how well google search was doing was by absolute number of queries, and a lot of subsequent changes were made to google that were aimed at increasing that number. which had the effect of making google search suck more, because that meant people had to work harder to find stuff, which increased the amount of absolute searches people were doing. because, you know. it was harder to find stuff.

A day later, Gomes emailed Fox and Thakur an email he intended to send to Raghavan. He led by saying he was “annoyed both personally and on behalf of the search team.” in a long email, he explained how one might increase engagement with Google Search, but specifically added that they could “increase queries quite easily in the short term in user negative ways,” like turning off spell correction, turning off ranking improvements, or placing refinements — effectively labels — all over the page, adding that it was “possible that there are trade offs here between different kinds of user negativity caused by engagement hacking,” and that he was “deeply deeply uncomfortable with this.” He also added that this was the reason he didn’t believe that queries were a good metric to measure search and that the best defense about the weakness of queries was to create “compelling user experiences that make users want to come back.” In the March 2019 core update to search, which happened about a week before the end of the code yellow, was expected to be “one of the largest updates to search in a very long time. Yet when it launched, many found that the update mostly rolled back changes, and traffic was increasing to sites that had previously been suppressed by Google Search’s “Penguin” update from 2012 that specifically targeted spammy search results, as well as those hit by an update from an August 1, 2018, a few months after Gomes became Head of Search. While I’m guessing, the timing of the March 2019 core update, along with the traffic increases to previously-suppressed sites, heavily suggests that Google’s response to the Code Yellow was to roll back changes that were made to maintain the quality of search results.

which seems like a pretty plausible, if stupid, way to fuck up your product!

UPDATED: Casting call

Hello Gonchers! We're looking for actors.

Instructions below the cut. If you would not like to act but would like to spread the word, please reblog!

Overview:

You will need to complete a survey (so we have your contact info and know which roles you would like) and then add a video to gonchmovie's acting auditions Google Drive folder or send it to the casting email. This video will be your audition. For the main cast, we will do callbacks. This will require you to schedule a meeting with our casting directors to make a video call. More details on each step are in its section.

Survey instructions:

Complete this survey. We will cross-reference it with your performance, so we know who you are, your contact info, and what role(s) you want.

Selecting roles is required. There is a check all that apply list in the form with the names, but in case you are not well versed in the gonchlore, we have this list here with a brief description of each.

Video instructions:

Choose any piece of script either from our in-progress script doc, other script docs, or Tumblr. (Whatever source, basically.)

Record yourself performing it.

Upload the video (with your preferred name and Tumblr handle in the title) to this Google Drive or send it to casting@gonchmovie.com.

About callbacks:

This only applies to the main cast. For callbacks, we're defining this as Goncharov, Katya, Andrei, Sofia, Ice Pick Joe, and Mario.

We will not ask everyone who auditions for these parts to schedule a video call (sorry). Only the top 3-5 possibilities.

We want to see how actors perform with each other, so we are doing the video calls in sets of characters. The sets are as follows: 1. Goncharov, Katya, Andrei, and Sofia. 2. Goncharov and Andrei. 3. Kayta and Sofia. 4. Ice Pick Joe and Mario. 5. Mario, Goncharov, Andrei, and Ice Pick Joe. If we really like your performance but you didn't fit with the other character(s) we may ask you to do another call with different candidates for those character(s). It is likely to be a bit of a process to find the best set of core characters.

An important note about schedules: We aim to film during summer 2026 (tentatively June 25 - August 10, dates subject to change). However, if we are not fully funded in time with locations booked etc., then we might have to postpone the filming to winter 2026. It is ideal that you are available summer 2026, but if not, you may still be able to act if the project is postponed. Similarly, if you are only available summer 2026, that is fine, but we may have to go with a different actor if the project is postponed. We changed the survey question to reflect the dates, but you do not need to resubmit the form if you have already taken it. We will double-check with everyone about their schedules once we get closer.

The filming is planned to take place in Naples, and travel and accommodation will be included in our budget (so you do not need to pay for your trip yourself). For information on pay, see this google doc.

Our most common casting comment/question is along the lines of: "I would really like [role] but I'm trans and don't pass."

We are blindly casting all demographics unless otherwise specified. Also, this production is aggressively trans-positive and inclusive (hi there I'm trans and so is easily half of the discord).

Even for some specified demographics [ex: age ranges], we can be flexible.

When in doubt, if you want to audition, audition! <3

Stay Gonching!

RECENT SEO & MARKETING NEWS FOR ECOMMERCE, AUGUST 2024

Hello, and welcome to my very last Marketing News update here on Tumblr.

After today, these reports will now be found at least twice a week on my Patreon, available to all paid members. See more about this change here on my website blog: https://www.cindylouwho2.com/blog/2024/8/12/a-new-way-to-get-ecommerce-news-and-help-welcome-to-my-patreon-page

Don't worry! I will still be posting some short pieces here on Tumblr (as well as some free pieces on my Patreon, plus longer posts on my website blog). However, the news updates and some other posts will be moving to Patreon permanently.

Please follow me there! https://www.patreon.com/CindyLouWho2

TOP NEWS & ARTICLES 

A US court ruled that Google is a monopoly, and has broken antitrust laws. This decision will be appealed, but in the meantime, could affect similar cases against large tech giants. 

Did you violate a Facebook policy? Meta is now offering a “training course” in lieu of having the page’s reach limited for Professional Mode users. 

Google Ads shown in Canada will have a 2.5% surcharge applied as of October 1, due to new Canadian tax laws.

SEO: GOOGLE & OTHER SEARCH ENGINES 

Search Engine Roundtable’s Google report for July is out; we’re still waiting for the next core update. 

SOCIAL MEDIA - All Aspects, By Site

Facebook (includes relevant general news from Meta)

Meta’s latest legal development: a $1.4 billion settlement with Texas over facial recognition and privacy.  

Instagram

Instagram is highlighting “Views” in its metrics in an attempt to get creators to focus on reach instead of follower numbers. 

Pinterest

Pinterest is testing outside ads on the site. The ad auction system would include revenue sharing. 

Reddit

Reddit confirmed that anyone who wants to use Reddit posts for AI training and other data collection will need to pay for them, just as Google and OpenAI did. 

Second quarter 2024 was great for Reddit, with revenue growth of 54%. Like almost every other platform, they are planning on using AI in their search results, perhaps to summarize content. 

Threads

Threads now claims over 200 million active users.

TikTok

TikTok is now adding group chats, which can include up to 32 people.

TikTok is being sued by the US Federal Trade Commission, for allowing children under 13 to sign up and have their data harvested. 

Twitter

Twitter seems to be working on the payments option Musk promised last year. Tweets by users in the EU will at least temporarily be pulled from the AI-training for “Grok”, in line with EU law.

CONTENT MARKETING (includes blogging, emails, and strategies) 

Email software Mad Mimi is shutting down as of August 30. Owner GoDaddy is hoping to move users to its GoDaddy Digital Marketing setup. 

Content ideas for September include National Dog Week. 

You can now post on Substack without having an actual newsletter, as the platform tries to become more like a social media site. 

As of November, Patreon memberships started in the iOS app will be subject to a 30% surcharge from Apple. Patreon is giving creators the ability to add that charge to the member's bill, or pay it themselves.

ONLINE ADVERTISING (EXCEPT INDIVIDUAL SOCIAL MEDIA AND ECOMMERCE SITES) 

Google worked with Meta to break the search engine’s rules on advertising to children through a loophole that showed ads for Instagram to YouTube viewers in the 13-17 year old demographic. Google says they have stopped the campaign, and that “We prohibit ads being personalized to people under-18, period”.

Google’s Performance Max ads now have new tools, including some with AI. 

Microsoft’s search and news advertising revenue was up 19% in the second quarter, a very good result for them. 

One of the interesting tidbits from the recent Google antitrust decision is that Amazon sells more advertising than either Google or Meta’s slice of retail ads. 

BUSINESS & CONSUMER TRENDS, STATS & REPORTS; SOCIOLOGY & PSYCHOLOGY, CUSTOMER SERVICE 

More than half of Gen Z claim to have bought items while spending time on social media in the past half year, higher than other generations. 

Shopify’s president claimed that Christmas shopping started in July on their millions of sites, with holiday decor and ornament sales doubling, and advent calendar sales going up a whopping 4,463%.

What Are Core Web Vitals? Why Is It Important For SEO?

There’s no denying that Google has always prioritised the needs of its users in SEO marketing in Abu Dhabi. They’ve always worked for a better user experience- from keyword stuffing to introducing website load time as a ranking criterion to mobile-first ranking. Another stride in that direction is Core Web Vitals.

Core Web Vitals- The Definition

Google developed Core Web Vitals (CWV) as a set of quantitative performance measures. Their fundamental purpose remains to quantify qualitative user experiences on a web page. The loading experience (LCP), interactivity (FID), and visual stability (CLS) of web page content are all measured with these measures.

When Did Core Web Vitals Become Available?

To be exact, Core Web Vitals became a Google ranking consideration for top stories on Thursday, June 17th, 2021, and they were eventually implemented as part of a page experience improvement by the end of August 2021. On the other hand, Google has announced that page experience cues will be updated once a year. As a result, expect things to change over time.

Core Web Vitals- The Importance

As per any SEO agency in Abu Dhabi, the significance of Google Core Web Vitals is paramount- significantly since they assist web designers in providing an excellent user experience. On the other hand, users will be hesitant to return if pages are slow, unstable, or packed with popups.

To put it simply, Google Core Web Vitals are observable SEO performance metrics. You can analyse how visitors interact with your site with the newly-acquired data. They give you specific, quantitative data that you can utilise to improve the entire user experience of your website. For example, users are more inclined to return if they have had a positive experience.

In the end, CWV does more than merely increase your organic ranks; but that is a benefit, as per most SEO Services in Abu Dhabi. You’ll have more engaged customers, higher conversion rates, and maybe other benefits as a result. Despite the importance of Core Web Vitals, Google “continues to strive to rank pages with the best overall information, even if the page experience is mediocre,” as per any reliable SEO agency in Abu Dhabi.

Core Web Vitals- The Major Components

There are three parts of Google’s Core Web Vitals as per SEO Company. Here’s a comprehensive breakdown of the three Core Web Vitals elements, including thresholds and goal ranges.

1. Largest Concert Paint (LCP)

LCP is a Core Web Vitals metric that measures the time it takes for a page to load. It calculates the time it takes to render the most significant content element inside a user’s viewing region. It does not take into account the entire page.

A URL with an LCP of 2.5 seconds or less is considered “excellent” by Google (segmented by mobile and desktop). A time between 2.5 and 4 seconds has to be improved. A time of more than four seconds is considered harmful.

2. First Input Delay (FID)

FID is a Core Web Vitals metric that quantifies the time it takes for a user to engage with a website. It calculates the time between a user’s first interaction with a web page (clicking, tapping, swiping, etc.) and the page’s response.

Consider interactivity to be the responsiveness of a web page. Because the page appears unresponsive, the greater the delay, the more likely a user would become frustrated.

3. Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS)

CLS is a Core Web Vitals indicator that assesses a page’s visual consistency. For example, it considers the proportion of the screen that shifts and the distance that items move.

Few things are more aggravating than interacting with page elements that move around randomly. Unexpected layout adjustments are particularly troublesome when they have real-world effects, such as unintentionally ordering something or clicking on an ad redirecting you to a different website.

It’s critical as a site owner or developer to calculate your CLS using fundamental user interactions rather than lab data. Ads, for example, may not load on your staging site, causing your ratings to be inaccurate.

CLS is determined by multiplying the impact fraction (the percentage of the viewport that shifts) by the distance fraction (movement distance divided by the viewport height).

A burst of layout shifts occurs when several changes occur in rapid succession over five seconds or fewer, with less than a second between each transition. CLS is a metric that estimates the enormous burst of layout shifts that a page experiences during its lifetime.

What Effect Will Google’s Core Web Vitals Have On Your Search Engine Optimisation?

For some SEO Services in Abu Dhabi with horrible page experiences, the SEO impact of Core Web Vitals will be severe. Most websites with a solid user experience, on the other hand, will be unaffected. This is because Google still favours other search ranking factors that are more important, such as the quality of a page’s content.

Focus on developing high-quality content that aligns with search intent and comprehensively covers the topic of search engine optimisation (SEO) criteria. After that, concentrate on improving pages for Core Web Vitals metrics to get an even more organic lift.

Core Web Vitals- Quick Fact

Accelerated Mobile Pages (AMP) was removed as a requirement from the Top Stories feature on mobile to implement these additional metrics. However, because new articles will lack data on speed metrics, metrics from a more significant category of pages, or possibly the entire domain, will most likely be used.

Final Thoughts

As per any SEO Company, Core Web Vitals are speed measurements that are part of Google’s Page Experience signals, used to assess user satisfaction. For example, the visual load is measured by Largest Concertful Paint (LCP), visual stability is measured by Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS), and interactivity is measured by First Input Delay (FID).

The Core Web Vitals report in Google Search Console is the simplest way to see your site’s data. Using the report, you can immediately assess whether your pages are “poor URLs,” “URLs that need work,” or “good URLs.”
