Daily Search Forum Recap: December 18, 2018

Here is a recap of what happened in the search forums today, through the eyes of the Search Engine Roundtable and other search forums on the web.

Search Engine Roundtable Stories:

  • Google Feature Snippet: Pyramids Are 85 Years Old
    Every now and then I like to highlight when Google gets it wrong with their featured snippets. It is really a daily occurrence but here is a funny one. If you ask Google how old are the pyramids, Google will tell you they are 85 years old.
  • Google Tests Black URL/Breadcrumbs At Top Of Search Result Snippets
    Google is always testing new search results user interfaces, here is yet another test I’ve been noticing being reported over the past few days. Google is using a black URL or breadcrumb above the title in the search results snippet.
  • Google: If A Random Tool Can Find Bad Links Then Google Probably Ignores Those Links Already
    It looks like Google is taking a jab now at third-party link audit tools now. John Mueller from Google said on Twitter that if a random tool can figure out if a link is a bad link, then Google’s own algorithms can probably detect these bad links and thus ignore them without you having to disavow them.
  • Google: Linking To Your Media Mentions Is Fine
    There is so much paranoia around linking in the SEO community that some questions seems a bit overboard to me. For example, someone asked if it is okay to create a page showing the company’s media mentions and link to them or will Google frown on that.
  • Google “Red Bridge” Logo For Paul Klee 139th Birthday
    Today on Google’s home page is a special logo for the 139th birthday of Paul Klee. Paul Klee is a Swiss German artist who was known for his painting, drawing, watercolor, and printmaking. He was born on December 18, 1879 in Switzerland and passed on June 29, 1940 also in Switzerland.
  • Googlebot Caffeine Fan Art From Alexis Sanders @AlexisKSanders
    Alexis Sanders, an SEO at Merkle has another talent outside of SEO, she can do some art. She put together what she is calling Googlebot caffeine fan art and shared it on Twitter. It is super detaile
