Daily Search Forum Recap: September 18, 2019

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:

Vlog #16: Dr. Pete Meyers Of Moz On Mozcast & Google Algorithm Changes
In episode #16 of the vlog series at the Search Engine Roundtable I interviewed Dr. Pete Meyers (aka Dr. Pete) (@dr_pete) of Moz. Dr. Pete and I share a similar passion – the passion is a weird one – we love to track how Google changes its search results…
Google: Redirect Old AJAX Crawling Scheme URLs Using JavaScript Redirects
Google’s John Mueller said in an #AskGoogleWebmasters video that now that “you no longer need to do anything special for hashbang URLs,” if you still have those old URLs for the old AJAX crawling scheme, you should redirect those URLs.
New Report Offensive Images In Google Web Search Results

According to Moz and RankRanger’s tools there is a 4 to 5 point drop in the rate these review rich results show up in Google search.
Google Launches Video Key Moments For YouTube Videos In Search
The other day we reported that we spotted Google testing a cool feature in search that shows you a timeline that shows you what is in a video. Well, Google announced this as video key moments and it works for English videos posted to YouTube and Google will expand it to other providers soon.
Googlers Painting
Here is a photo of a bunch of Googlers showing off their artistic skills by painting a lighthouse. I wonder if they picked a lighthouse because of Google Lighthouse. Well, I hope they did but I doubt

No effect on rankings, but if the structured data isn’t valid, we wouldn’t be able to show it in search., John Mueller on Twitter
Rankings can always change, I just wouldn’t assume that it’s a matter of CTR. If you get a higher CTR, that’s pretty awesome regardless of the ranking anyway!, John Mueller on Twitter
Well, that sucks – at least it’s clear the noindex isn’t a hint :). I’d do manual submissions for the most critical URLs (max clicks from search) + use a sitemap with lastmod set (with all indexable URLs includ, John Mueller on Twitter
