Google Passage Ranking, It Is Not Passage Indexing
In the slew of Google Search announcements from last week, one of the more interesting bits was a section on „passage indexing.“ As I wrote in my coverage, I asked Google for more information on that and I wrote it up in detail on Search Engine Land. But I think it is important I cover it in detail here as well, as there is still confusion around this upcoming Google Search launch.
An important thing that SEOs kind of need to understand while reading this is that while Google wrote it is called „passage indexing,“ it is not „indexing.“ Google told me it is a „ranking thing“ more than an indexing thing. In fact, Google said it has not changed how it indexes when it comes to this, it still indexes the full page.

4 Google My Business Fields That Impact Ranking (and 3 That Don’t) — Whiteboard Friday

In this brand new Whiteboard Friday, MozCon speaker and owner/founder of Sterling Sky, Joy Hawkins, takes us through the fields she and her team has found do (and do not) effect rankings.

Mike Blumenthal: The Importance Of Review Attributes & Content Generation
In part two (see part one here) with Mike Blumenthal we started off talking about reviews and review attributes. He doesn’t believe SEOs understand how important reviews are. It is not just about getting more good reviews. Reviews and those complaints can stay there forever and that is important.

GoogleBot To Help Chrome Detect & Block Abusive Notifications
Google announced on the Chrome blog that it will be adding an additional security feature to reduce notification content and is triggered by sites that have a history of sending messages containing abusive content. GoogleBot will be helping Chrome with this effort by occasionally subscribing to website push notifications if the push permission is requested.

Finde ich insofern wichtig, als dass Sites, die das übertreiben, wohl mit einer Blockade rechnen dürften.

YouTube Shopping?
A report from Bloomberg indicates Google is in the early stages of transforming YouTube into a shopping site.
This would enable consumers to directly purchase items they see in product review videos, unboxing videos, tutorials, and so on.

WordPress Sicherheitslücke schließen – WP-JSON-API!
Wenn der Kunde/die Kundin WordPress verwendet, unbedingt /wp-json hinten anhängen und checken, ob dort Daten kommen. Falls dem so ist, auch als Problem auflisten. Hieraus kann man Phishing- oder Hacking-Informationen beziehen und das sollte deaktiviert sein. Wie, einfach z. B. hierüber: https://de.wordpress.org/plugins/disable-json-api/
Die Ausgabe wie sie nicht sein soll sieht so oder so aus:
Genial einfacher Tipp:
WordPress: Ganz einfach automatisiert mitbekommen, wer fremd direkt auf Bilder innerhalb Deiner Site verlinkt
To do that, set up a new backlink alert in Ahrefs Alerts, then use the following settings:
Domain or URL: https://yourwebsite.com/wp-content/uploads/
Mode: Prefix
Score: New backlinks
Note that this will only work if your site runs on WordPress.
If you’re using another CMS, you’ll need to figure out where your images get uploaded then use that for the URL.
Or, if you’re using a CDN, you’ll need to monitor that domain.
Assuming everything is set up correctly, you’ll now receive email alerts whenever someone links directly to an image on your site.
