Bing: Mystified about mobile?
Here’s how we see the opportunity "Searches
from mobile devices make up approximately one third of search volume on
the Bing Network. [...] Consumers are constantly shifting between
devices, and to maintain relevancy, brands must meet consumers at the
right point/s on whichever device they chose for that particular
moment."
"If your site
was hit by a manual action, it may also be hit by an algorithmic
penalty and being released from a manual action might help but if your
site is also hit by an algorthmic penalty, then you will have to wait
for the algorithm to update. [...]
And all that's left is really that the rest of our algorithms how they interact with your website. And some of those algorithms might be looking at similar things that the manual action was looking at." Google displaying a featured snippet from
user generated comments "Bill Elward
spotted a featured snippet in Google that doesn't use the primary
content on the page but rather pulls from the comments section of the
page. [...]
This is interesting for many reasons: (1) Google should use primary content for their featured snippets, (2) Google should probably not use user generated comments for the snippets, (3) The comment they pulled is in an hidden click to expand area, which Google has said they don't index or rank well."
"Google is
adding a new AMP carousel and more AMP-enabled content to its mobile
News site and apps. The horizontally scrolling carousel will feature 14
AMP-powered stories. In addition, stories throughout the vertical
stream that use AMP will feature a lightning icon."
"The only way
page speed impacts a site's rankings in Google is if the site is
unbearably slow. If your site is a drop faster than the next, it won't
rank a drop higher than the next. But if your site is incredibly slow,
Google may demote the site. [...]
Yesterday, Gary Illyes from Google told a webmaster not to 'worry about it too much,' when it comes to page speed." Search engine newslets
