Daily Search Forum Recap: March 3, 2020

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:

  • March 2020 Google Webmaster Report

    This was one busy month, filled with numerous unconfirmed Google search ranking updates both in web search and local. It is also after March 1st, and the nofollow link change for crawling and indexing is now just a hint but Google said no change. A Google patent application was published that may explain the Medic update.


  • Google Algorithms Do Not Give Shopify Preferential Treatment

    John Mueller from Google was asked if Google does anything special for Shopify, since it is such a popular e-commerce platform.

  • Some Google & Bing Employees Can Work From Home Due To The Coronavirus

Two Google offices, one in Zurich and one in Dublin, have had cases of employees being confirmed with the virus. While some Google and Bing employees are being allowed to work from home, not all are.
