Google Local Update
Google changed the local results from a 7 pack to a 3 pack today. I noticed a difference between mobile and desktop versions of the same search phrase.
- Check out some posts on the New Google 3 Pack.
Content Marketing
Need some content marketing tools, check out this post on Search Engine Watch. Most I had heard of except for http://keywordtool.io/..I’ll have to give it a try.
SEO News Video for the Week
Here is a video from Barry Schwartz I found on SEORoundtable. I was going to put Rand Fishkins weekly white board on, but I quickly grew sick of looking at Rands really bad hair cut. Barry has a much better SEO review any way.
Highlights from Barry’s video.
- 3 pack announcement
- I think I am going to start using Bing, sounds like Bing is doing the responsible thing in regards to fake pharmacy sites.
- New Schema from Google now supporting movie and tv show reviews.
- People putting vacation pages up for websites???
- Google 3 Pack missing Google+ page links
- Google Adwords Bulk uploader
- Google Adwords reports now Publisher reports
Google Maps News
- Is the night mode on Google Maps new? I must be thinking of another site.
- Drop pins on to Gooogle maps while using your Android device and give them new names. Hmm, I wonder if you can make your map public?
- You can leave reviews right on Google map and keep track of your reviews. This might help me not to order the same thing every time, or to not order the same thing if I didn’t like the food.
Other Google Updates
- Sites that are not mobile friendly are now being dropped from the top search results. I thought that had already happened.
- A Search Engine Land Interview with Google about Panda 4.2 updates.
And because its Friday, why not watch a hilarious dog video.
Have a blessed weekend.
