Google operates different types of unnatural links unequally. This information was reported by the search representative Gary Illyes on Twitter.
Thus, if violations are identified as "rough manipulation of links," the website is likely to be sanctioned. The rest unnatural links are mostly ignored by Google.
That depends on the purpose of that link really, but it's not likely to be ignored
- Gary Illyes ᕕ (ᐛ) ᕗ (@methode) June 2
It should be recalled that the Penguin algorithm stopped lowering websites for spammed links. Instead, the service began to devalue the spam itself.

Google updated the interface of the local knowledge bar, which appears when searching for local companies, shops and institutions and provides detailed information about the business enterprise you are looking for. Now it includes two sections: "Review" and "Feedback".
The "Overview" section contains general information about the company: address, working hours, etc. The “Feedback" provides the overall rating of the company on a five-point scale and get you acquainted with what customers think about this or that company.
It has the following appearance:
The testing of the new design started in May. It seems that now it is launched for all users, although no official confirmation from Google has been received so far. This is to remind you that the search engine added a link to the knowledge bar for goods and services of the company this April.
Google tested the new "Highlights" section on the local Knowledge Grid panel for cafes, bars and other places in May. It contained icons with signatures, displaying the features of the institution. For instance, "recommended by critics", "restful spot", "places to visit with children", "free style clothing", etc.

Facebook is planning to launch about two dozen different shows and TV series in mid June, created specifically for the social network. This information was reported by Business Insider with reference to its sources. The company also gave the go-ahead for another TV programs production.
According to the publication, Facebook is interested in the content in two main formats: long-term large-budget projects and 5-10 minutes episode programs, which will be released daily.
It is assumed that the series of the first category will take the level of "Card House" and "Scandal". Short videos will be focused primarily on young audience.
Social network considers high-quality video content as a significant aspect of user retention. Besides this, Facebook shows will allow to offer advertisers an alternative to traditional TV and will give the company another source of revenue.
Facebook began negotiations with television studios in December. At that time it was reported that the social network does not plan to invest in expensive movies and series. However, according to the Business Insider, the plans for the company have changed.

Google reported that the Street View service is now able to extract textual information from photos to update Maps. This was achieved with the help of machine learning algorithms.
From now on Street View can not only collect images of the real world, but also extract names and street numbers from them. This innovation will automatically add new addresses to Maps and update the data in real time.
Google used photos taken in different countries to test the new technology. It was possible to automate the process of "reading" the contents of images with an accuracy reaching 84% with the help of neural networks in France. The developers noticed that this indicator significantly exceeds those opportunities that were previously available for them.
Algorithms can even recognize abbreviations and convert them into words. For example, "Av" converts into "Avenue".
Automated system simplifies the process of adding new streets and buildings to Maps. It is also able to "read" the names of companies, which allows you to quickly update the data.
The source code for the model is available to everyone on GitHub

Google spokesman, Gary Illyes, said on Twitter the other day that adding a video to the page does not help get the ranking higher.
"Having a video on the page does not help to get higher position in search results. Nevertheless, you have the right to your own opinion,"wrote Illyes.
Adding a video to the page does not harm the website. However, it can slow down the page loading from a technical point of view.
Google employee John Mueller admitted that embedded YouTube videos can slow the pages down. At the same time, he noted that the search engine does not distinguish between built-in elements from its own services and competitors' websites. He also added that YouTube players should not reduce the download speed too much as they are well optimized

Google agreed to pay € 306 million to settle the tax dispute down in Italy. This information was reported by Reuters.
Last year Italian tax police office said that Google earned 1 billion euros in the country, but the taxes were not paid in full.
Google and the regulator states that the agreement covers the period from to.
"Besides the taxes already paid in Italy over these years, Google will pay additional 306 million euros," - reports the Press service of one of the Internet companies.
Google has repeatedly been accused of tax evasion in Europe. The claims are related to a scheme that allowed the company not to pay taxes at high rates in individual countries by the registration of the revenue received in Ireland.
It should be recalled that Google settled a tax dispute in the UK in January. The company agreed to pay $ 185 million for dept redemption in the period.
In, Google saved $ 3.6 billion to pay taxes through a financial scheme known as the "double Irish and Dutch sandwich."

Google is adding new functions related to AMP Search Console, and invites webmasters to take part in the beta testing.
On May 4, John Mueller, the QA manager, sent out a message to the service testers. The letter was entitled as "New beta opportunity for AMP-site-masters".
Search Console users who have implemented AMP on their websites can also be involved in the testing. For this, you need to fill out the form in Google Doc.
Mueller confirmed that the newsletter was indeed sent and the link source is safe and protected (comments on Twitter):
Those who wish to participate in the testing, but have not received the newsletter, you can try to contact John Müeller on Twitter for details.

Google does not lower sites for having pages with 404 error links. This information was reported by TheSemPost referring to the search representative Gary Illyes.
Some webmasters believe the pages with 404 error on the websites are lowered in the search results ranking. However, Gary Illyes denies this opinion.
The 404 errors can be caused by various reasons: website redesign and incorrect redirection, permanent or temporary unavailability of the resource. At the same time, many webmasters do not track outgoing links on an ongoing basis in order to quickly identify and fix these errors. However, it would be unfair to punish webmasters for the problems of another resource, says TheSemPost founder, Jennifer Slagg.
As for UX, 404 pages can worsen the user's experience, so it makes sense to periodically scan the website and fix the links that are no longer running.

Low download speed of the website can significantly affect the performance of the online store. This is evidenced by the results of a study conducted by Akamai.
According to the data presented, the delay in loading the page in 100 milliseconds reduces the level of dextop conversion by 2.4%, while the mobile version by 7.1%.
1 second delay reduces the conversion from desktops by 21.8%, for smartphones by 20.5%, and from tablets by 17.8%. With two seconds delay, the figures fall even lower: by 36.5%, 26.2% and 25.1%, respectively.
The maximum conversion level was observed if the loading time was:
1.8 seconds (conversion rate 12.8%) for desktop devices;
2.7 seconds (3.3%) for smartphones devices;
1.9 seconds (7.2%) for tablets and gadgets.
Basically, the pages that are converted are loaded 26% faster.
As for the average conversion rate, on desktops it was ranked at 4.1%, on 1.4% on smartphones and 2.7% on tablets.
According to Akamai, almost half of all buyers (47%) are viewing products on smartphones, but only 1 out of 5 transactions ends on a mobile device.
Despite the fact that only 22% of mobile websites ends up in a conversion, this figure should be growing with the upcoming months and years.
The study also showed that the highest failure rate is among the mobile users. At the same, the minimum failure rate was observed on the tablets.
The optimum load time at which the failure rate is kept at the lowest level is from 700 msec to 1.2 sec for all devices. The delay in loading in 2 seconds raises this indicator up to 103%, and also reduces the duration of the session by 51%.

Hackers from the OurMine group got access to hundreds of YouTube channels and called this event the biggest hacking in the history of video service. This information is reported by The Sydney Morning Herald.
The following message was displayed in the hacked accounts: "Hello, this is OurMine. Do not worry, we're just checking your safety. Contact us for more information."
The attack was set down. Leaks from user data were avoided.
OurMine hacking group hacks the accounts of authoritative users of social networks to draw the attention of their developers to security issues.
"We have no bad intentions. We are just worried about the security and privacy of your accounts and the network," the group's website says.
We should recall that in summer, OurMine hacked accounts of Google's CEO Sundar Pichai, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey.

Google does not have sanctions for using Caps Lock in the Title. This was stated by the search representative Gary Illyes in response to a question from one of the webmasters on Twitter.
The question was: "Are there sanctions for using Caps Lock for certain words in the title tag?" Illyes answered shortly: "No, there aren’t any".
It should be recalled that the capital letters in the URL also do not affect the ranking of the website in Google.

Soon, Google AdWords can start providing advertisers with more information on the Quality Score. This information was reported by Search Engine Land with a link to the post in the Israeli version of the blog Inside AdWords.
The publication described a number of new Quality Score metrics that are launched in the AdWords interface. The post was published on March 10, but, unfortunately, received little attention. For unknown reasons, it was removed March 12. We do not for sure whether Google announced about the upcoming changes in other countries, but this infomation is still kept a secret.
Judging by the date on one of the images in the post, the innovation is tested at least since December. A new section dedicated to Quality Score will include seven additional columns for analysis.
Advertisers will also be able to view data on the quality score for a particular day. The new metrics for the Quality Score will also be available at the manager account level. If this change is triggered, advertisers will be able to analyze trends in Quality Score.
Google's press service on the request for comments has not yet responded.
The enhanced Quality Score statistics became available through the AdWords API in last March.

Last Monday the notorious Platon Shchukin published another FAQ on the delicate transfer to the https protocol in his blog. He covered most of the questions that often arise by webmasters when running a protocol transfer, however, the question on the regional linking was not touched in no way.
The specialists of the company that holds 39 websites faced a difficulty when moving to the new protocol the regional data was not transferred for an unknown reason. They asked Platon to answer this question. He said that regional data should be specified manually:
The specialists of the company that work with 39 websites emphasize the importance of linking to a specific region, as it is critical for the successful ranking of most commercial websites:
"If suddenly when moving to https the optimizer or the website owner will forget about miss this point of specifying the region manually, as suggested by Yandex support, the website can easily lose all positions and go to the botton for all geo-dependent queries, in which it was previously ranked in the top before moving to https. The regionality in Yandex.Webmaster allows you to make search requests for associative goods or services geo-dependent”.
Platon Shchukin was also put a question to one of his comments made in the post regarding the need to indicate the region manually, as well as the request to highlight this point in the relocation guide. Platon promised to take this remark into account:
"Thanks for the comment, we'll take this point into account.
Indeed, at the moment the regional linking to the new main mirror needs to be done again. "
We hope that now the webmasters will not forget about this important moment. Good luck when transferring the protocol!

The "Conversions" column shows how many times users saw a graphic or display ad, but did not click on it, and after a while they made a conversion on the website. The data presented in this column is not reflected in the "Conversions" column.
From March 29, the "Conversions" column will only show those conversions that occurred within one day after the ad got on the screen.

In May Google introduced a new search feature by Emoji. From now on the requests data is displayed in the "search queries analysis" report in the Search Console.
The new feature was recognized by one of the service users in Germany. Below is the screenshot showing the website that got 50 results on the Emoji request in the cake chart:
Earlier this month, Google also returned Emoji back into the search results.
In, Google Search rep, John Mueller, said that Google would no longer show the Emoji icons in the title snippets, and advised webmasters not to waste time adding them to the website. It's been more than a year Emoji did not appear in the search results, but now they are back.

Google Panda algorithm analyzes all aspects of the quality of the website, including its architecture. This information was reported by a representative of the Google search, John Mueller, during the last meeting with webmasters.
He was asked the following:
"Does Panda consider the architecture of the website during the evaluation or the improvement of the categories does not really matter?".
He repsponsed:
"If we detect a problem on the website, which, in our opinion, could have had a significant impact on the quality of the resource, we would then consider them. Therefore, if you have problems with the categories on the website, and you can improve them, then do this."
We should also remind you that the Panda algorithm 1.0 was released on February 24,, which is six years ago. Its main function lies in fighting against websites containing low-quality content. This is one of the most significant search filters created by Google.
About a year ago Panda filter has become part of the prime Google algorithm.

English-speaking users have noticed that Google is testing a new format of the local search results considering mobile devices.
The interface test version carries the search results presented in the form of individual cards, which can be viewed by swiping the screen left or right.
In the current version of the interface presents the search results are displayed in a list.
We should recall that in December, Google added the filters into the local queries unit that goes both for the desktop and mobile devices.
January this year, Google tested a trade show for the local search results on mobile devices. Particularly, by some specific requests it was giving local ads assortment.

At his last meeting with webmasters John Mueller told the way to optimize images for search engines.
One of the participants asked how Google achievements in the field of image recognition affected SEO. Particularly, he wanted to clarify whether the image optimization is still valid or it is no longer necessary.
According to Mueller, the future optimization may not be needed. But now it is still applied.
"Using clear file names, alt attributes, tag titles that it all helps. The subtitles under the image, the text that that describes, all of this helps us to understand what was going on in the picture. All this is necessary. At least, at the moment,"- said Mueller.
According to the author of the TheSEMPost blog, Jennifer Slegg, Google needs another 5-10 years, in order to recognize the non-optimized images. It is unlikely that this situation is to get changed in the nearest future.
Therefore, SEO-experts still have to optimize the pictures so that Google can better understand them.

Google began launching a new version of advertising icons in AdWord. Now they will be appear in the green box:
Americans were the first to recognize the change. Google confirmed the launch and added that the new feature will be realized on a major scale.
"We regularly test the possible improvements in the design of the search results page. After testing the advertising icons, we decided to stop at this version. The new icon is more visible. As a result, the readability of the search results page is improved and advertising is clearly identified this way"- comments the company’s Search Engine Land spokesman.
It should be recalled that Google began testing the promotional icons in January. At the same time, the company also tested black and orange markings.
In the summer Google changed the color of advertising icons from yellow to green.

Google is still considering the exact date for mobile-first index launch. This information was reported by Google Search rep, Garry Illyes at the Friends of Search Conference.
He also added that the preparations for the launch may take several months more than it was previously planned.
We should also remind that Google started testing mobile-first index in November. This means that the search algorithms will primarily assess the relevance of a mobile version of the page in the nearest future.
It is noteworthy that the mobile-first Google will not measure speed loading of the pages; neither will it consider this factor in the rankings. At least at the startup.
If the website faces a problem after the transition to a new type of indexing, Google will warn you via Search Console.

Google has updated report about scanning application errros in the Search Console. This was reported on Data Anomalies page in the Help Center section.
The updated report contains a more precise data on the number of pages with URI. As Google informs that from now on the owners of the application will receive correct information on the number of indexed pages.
The updated statistics became available from 23 January.
English-speaking webmasters noticed that after the update number of indexed URL in the report has been increased. This error pages also were pulled up in quantity.

The icons of your saved places will appear on the map.
You can easily send your places of interest via SMS, e-mail, social networks or popular instant messengers. Here's how it works:
All created collections, as well as subscribed ones will remain on Google Maps, no matter where it is. They can be viewed on both mobile and desktop devices and even offline.

We have put the whole world on a single map, and now it's time for you to point out your own world starting from fashion city outlets to the places of your dream", - reports Google blog.

Google Analytics launches new interface for all users. The information was reported by Search Engine Roundtable.

Initially it was reported that the new UI will be launched within a few weeks after the announcement. But at that moment only a certain group of people could access it.

Foreign webmasters noticed some signs of Google's search algorithm update last week. It is assumed that the update was released on the 7th of February.
Apparently, the was a major update. Many webmasters have seen significant changes in the positions of their resources: both bad and good sides.
According to Barry Schwartz from Search Engine Land, this update is unlikely to have something to do with updating algorithms to fight against link spamming. In this case it is likely that it has to do with Panda.
The SERP monitoring tools, such as Mozcast, RankRanger, Accuranker and others also make an indication that the update took place on February, 7.
Google did not confirm the update and declined to comment any webmasters' comments.

English-speaking users have noticed that Google SERP brought Emoji back.
The tests showed that the Russian-language search results also have Emoji
We should remind you that in, Search rep John Mueller said that Google will no longer show the Emoji characters within the snippet titles. He also said that soon the Emoji will completely disappear from search results, and webmasters advised not to waste time adding them to the website.

Google is not scanning the content of the page, if it sees that the server returns 404 error. This information was reported by John Mueller during the last video meeting with webmasters. Therefore, filling the content of the page in terms of search engine optimization (not UX) does not make much sense doing that.
"If we see a 404 error, we do not look at the content. We do explore what appears on pages with 404 error, "- explained Mueller.
Custom 404 pages are undoubtedly useful. They help to keep visitors by redirecting them to other pages on your website. However, some webmasters use them for search engine optimization.
According to Google's guide for assessors, assessing the quality of the search results users must see what the page 404 content is and how useful it may be. Therefore, some webmasters use page 404 to improve the quality of the source. Now, however, it became clear that this option is not so important for the search engine, as everybody thought previously.
Again, in terms of UX quality 404 pages are important because they allow keeping visitors on the website and helping them find useful information. But what it is in these pages, Google does not look into them at all.

Google shared some advices with its users regarding the personal data protection in the network. The company described the principles of operation of their systems that take care of the security services and other aspects.
How to outwit fraudsters and protect your Google Account?
Very often, users receive messages from their friends and family. However, such messages may appear to be part of phishing activity.
Google came up with a lot of high-tech methods on how to protect Gmail. The company secretly analyzes thousands of signs: who is the receiver, message content, how often this person texted to you and others.
However, if the scammers still got the user's login and password, do not despair since your account stays protected. Google not only checks the validity of the password, but also looks at a lot of small details. This makes it possible to detect suspicious behavior.
Security is not only provided by Google
With the function "Safe Browsing» Google warns users about the dangers of visiting these or those resources. Safe Browsing analyzes Internet resources almost the same way as the search engine, and find dangerous and inappropriate content. Google shows tens of millions of alerts every week for more than two billion devices in different browsers.
A special tool has been developed for Android devices on the basis of our Safe Browsing technology. It analyzes the applications on the network and alerts the user of the danger even before they have set themselves the service. An additional method of protection is by Application Testing that works directly on the Android device. It checks for more than 6 billion apps and 400 million devices every day.
