Google: how to write your meta
descriptionsAlthough the maximum length has been increased, Google still decides whether or not they show the text from the meta description. Google also decides how long the displayed description is."
Google: check your log files to find out if your site moved to the mobile-first index
According to John Mueller, 80% of Googlebot crawling is done by their desktop crawler, and 20% are done by the mobile crawler. If your website is in the mobile-first index, you will see an 80% crawl rate by the mobile version of Googlebot in your log files and a 20% crawl rate by the desktop version."
Google
does not recommend generic disavow files
John Mueller said that this was unnecessary work and that it’s not recommended by Google."
Google’s
definition of doorway pages
Doorways are sites or pages created to rank highly for specific search queries. They are bad for users because they can lead to multiple similar pages in user search results, where each result ends up taking the user to essentially the same destination."
