Daily Search Forum Recap: August 26, 2019

• Google Confirms Featured Snippets Anchors & Highlights Feature On Desktop

• Google: Web Site Traffic Is Not A Ranking Factor
  Want some pure myth busting from Google? Well, here it is. Google’s official Google Webmaster Twitter account said “traffic to a website isn’t a ranking factor.” This is in response to an SEO asking if it is.
• Moving To A New Domain To Escape A Google Penalty Might Not Work Says Google
  This isn’t exactly new, news – I covered this in 2014, but with the news around Dejan getting hit badly by a manual action, his plan is to move to a new domain and not redirect the old domain to the new. But John Mueller from Google rained on his parade, if you can call it a parade, by saying Google will find you.
• Google Wizard of Oz Easter Egg
  When you do a search for [wizard of oz] in Google on desktop or mobile and then click on the the red shoes to make them click three times, a barrel roll happens in the search results and much more.
• Martin Splitt Laptop Headbang
  Here is a GIF I made from the latest Google webmaster hangout of Google’s Martin Splitt taking his laptop and soften doing a headbang with it. It was a question around link juice of course.
