@JohnMu Thanks John

@JohnMu Hey John, are there any advantages or disadvantages to organizing XML site maps based on date vs category for large media sites with 100’s of thousands pages. Does G have a preference?

[John Carcutt @JohnCarcutt]

@JohnMu @JohnMu Now while the stories are still in the news cycle it’s typically not an issue to see them recrawled, however, if they are older the only way we can make this happen in a timely manner is to request indexing through that tool. Hope this helps. (2/2)

@JohnMu @JohnMu I looked at your form and it did not give me enough leeway to explain my usage. I’m at a media company that that has over 25 large Newspapers. We routinely get legal requests or have retractions that we need updated in your index ASAP. (1/2)

Have you ever done a search and gotten many listings all from the same site in the top results? We've heard your feedback about this and wanting more variety. A new change now launching in Google Search is designed to provide more site diversity in our results….

@prodentite @seo101radio I actually love the new features, but you’ll have to pry the “Webmaster Tools” name from my cold dead hands. :)

New Michigan OC Josh Gattis was 1-3 against Ohio State as a Penn State coach from 2014-2017, which is one more win than anyone on the team over the last 7 years.

@JohnMu I explained it to my mom as;

Assuming its Google’s job to find the best answer to a question, it’s an SEO’s job to try and undertand how Google determines what the best answers are and help our clients create them.

Even she got it. :)

@Steve_Goble I'm thinks they are just applying them backwards.

At what point do Isaac Asimov's "Three Laws of Robotics" apply to Google and Facebook?

Are you in need of 14 case studies to back up the assertion that:
Moving subdomain -> subfolder (almost always) increases search traffic
Moving subfolder -> subdomain (almost always) decreases search traffic
I got your back. Thread /1

I've been pushing the idea that "Content is Not King" for a while now, didn't realize how long till i found my "Content is Not King" deck from WordCamp Miami in 2014. LOL

[John Carcutt @JohnCarcutt]

Seeming like the 1st thing I need to do is a good cleansing.

[John Carcutt @JohnCarcutt]

Well it's been a few years since I was active on Twitter. Today I'm coming back to see what's been going on.

What did I miss?

[John Carcutt @JohnCarcutt]

Do you remember when you joined Twitter? I do! #MyTwitterAnniversary
