Daily Search Forum Recap: June 22, 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:

• Google Search & Discover Algorithm Ranking Update Over Weekend

• Google: We Don’t Explicitly Measure EAT In Search
  
  Google’s John Mueller said on Twitter that Google Search does not explicitly measure E-A-T in search. John was asked about which signals does Google use to measure E-A-T and John said “that’s not something we’d explicitly measure for Search — it’s a concept we wrote about in our Quality Rater’s guidelines.”




• Google How To Schema On Desktop, Now With Images
  
  In May, Google began testing how to schema rich results on desktop after only showing them on mobile. That test went away on June 5th and then came back on June 16th. Well, now that it is back, Google is also showing image thumbnails next to these results on desktop.

• Test your Auto ads settings with new Auto ads experiments, Google AdSense Help
• There’s nothing special about these kinds of pages, no need to do anything fancy with HTTP result codes. Keep things simple & so that they don’t need interpretation., John Mueller on Twitter
• I’m not aware of anything special there. (also giving you a critical glance –> -_- <– for scraping these things), John Mueller on Twitter

• Reviewing some site that ranks prominently for a “top…” query. Top product is a 100% argan oil hair treatment something something. AND!!! It’s 100% lactose and gluten free! The hell you need to say that for?, Gary Illyes on Twitter
