Daily Search Forum Recap: August 7, 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:

• Google Search Algorithm Tweaked To Show Less Porn For Lesbian, Teen & Other Queries
  Google has apparently updated its search algorithm to show less pornographic content and search results for queries around lesbian, teen, school girl, and other related queries. Pandu Nayak from Google told The Next Web “We have taken measures in cases where, when there is a reason for the word to be interpreted in a non-pornographic way, that interpretation is put forward.”
• New Evergreen GoogleBot Support For Google Testing Tools
  We knew it was coming soon and now it is here, Google just announced that most of the testing tools now support the new evergreen GoogleBot. We have been waiting for this for a couple months since Google launched the evergreen GoogleBot for crawling and indexing and now the tools support it as well.
• Google Drops Magnifying Glass In Search Bar For Text Search Button
  Google has dropped the magnifying glass in the search bar and substituted it for a text based search button. We saw Google testing this out a couple months ago and it now seems to be almost fully live.
• Google Search Console Sending Monthly Performance Reports
  Google is now sending some Google Search Console profiles a monthly performance report via email. The email shares the clicks, impressions and pages with first impressions for your site. It also dives into more details like your best content pages, and a lot more.
• Vlog #8: Mary Bowling Ignitor Digital On Local SEO & Google My Business Data
  In episode #8 of the vlog series at the Search Engine Roundtable I interviewed Mary Bowling (@marybowling) of Ignitor Digital Marketing. Mary and I and I started off talking about her work…
• Take The New Search Ranking Factors Survey
  As some of you may have heard in my interview with Rand Fishkin, he was planning on relaunching the search ranking factors survey. Well, he did it and you can participate in the survey over here.
• Google Launches New Image Search Preview Box, Upsetting Some Searchers
  As expected, Google has launched a redesign to the Google Image Search preview image box. Google has gone with the sticky interface, where the image preview box sticks to the right side and you can independently scroll through other images or the image preview box.
• New In Google My Business: Messaging Insights, Site Manager Sign-Up & Status Changes
  Google launched three new features or changes to Google My Business including messaging insights, a site manager sign-up link on a business profile and changes to status names.
• The 80’s Visits Google
  I found this image on Instagram of an Instagram profile named PinkBeast16 who visited Google and took a photo with Peter The Greeter. You can see, she is all decked out in the 80’s look.
