An incredible and impressive #supercell over #lausanne just now. Crazy strong winds and (much needed) heavy rain!

Back 3-4 years ago AMP was part of 'must-do' SEO strategies across SEO conferences. Always treat 'expert' blanket recommendations with a pinch of salt , since nobody understands your business needs better than you #BrightonSEO

The "nail in the coffin for AMP"... Google removed AMP recommendations from its Article structured data recommendations 🤯

@Maria_Amelie @lqtang This reminds me of a music event I wanted to attend back long time ago in Corfu, which as I found out when tried to purchase a ticket was only accessible to everyone except locals. But to see this happening for an SEO event is out of this world. What has happened in our industry?

Google says that personalization in Google Search is still an "extremely light" ranking signal and "actually rare" for ranking https://t.co/oBBbxNXDlW

We loved @rjonesx, our friend and longtime Mozzer. He was brilliant, bold, and courageous. His quick wit and charm never failed to make us laugh.

Losing him feels unimaginable, and we're holding his loved ones close to our hearts.

[Modestos Siotos @Modestos_]

@JohnMu @gfiorelli1 Thank you very much both. So, even though ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 covers' countries, dependent territories, and special areas of geographical interest' you're saying that hreflang only works for countries and no other type of geographic locale excluding all 'exceptional reservations'.

[Modestos Siotos @Modestos_]

Hey @JohnMu . Would Google really treat Spain and Canary islands as different locales if we keep them on separate sites and supported with the country-specific hreflang tags es and ic as mentioned at https://t.co/8wsOyO6xyc ?

[Modestos Siotos @Modestos_]

@JohnMu I mean do hreflang="es-es" for Spain's site and hreflang="es-ic" for another site dedicated to the Canary islands. This is needed due to different pricing. Should we be concerned about the websites content not showing up to the expected users in each one of the two locales?

[Lily Ray 😏 @lilyraynyc]

Took 2 days off from the computer and came back to find that Chrome is apparently now hiding all URL paths and just showing the domain name for all URLs, unless you hover over your address bar.

Is this a thing now?

Can it not be?

[Barry Schwartz @rustybrick]

Google now showing multiple "referring pages" in the URL Inspection tool https://t.co/zyrkshM09U via @amy91485 and @glenngabe

Google Search Console is sending notifications for if a site is being crawled over HTTP/2 https://t.co/BZtPVuG00r

[Modestos Siotos @Modestos_]

@JohnMu Thank you @JohnMu .I've definitely seen FAQs being surfaced in rich results just for one question but seems inconsistent. There are valid cases IMO to keep FAQs with very lengthy answers and rich media on separate pages, so maybe worth revisiting this?

[Modestos Siotos @Modestos_]

@JohnMu Google recommends FAQPage schema on a page that lists several questions. What about pages that only list one question/answer per page and do not qualify for QAPage because users cannot submit answers? Wouldn't it be a valid case of using FAQPage schema if no alternative?

[Modestos Siotos @Modestos_]

@JohnMu I'm trying to understand the difference between noimageindex and max-image-preview:none . Would you say that both are equivalent?

[Modestos Siotos @Modestos_]

Hi @JohnMu . If I do max-image-preview:none on a number of images my understanding is that these won't appear in the web & image search results but Google will not disregard them completely from an indexation and relevance standpoint. Is this assumption correct? Tnx!
