10 Things I Learnt This Week About Google SEO

[Honeybadger]

1. Google Search Central YouTube has 479,000 subscribers --> but this weeks SEO Office Hours Hangout has only 334 views meaning only 0.06% of subscribers bothered to watch the latest video which tells me a great amount about the average SEO "guru"
2. HTML sitemaps linked in the global footer are still relevant for SEO in 2022 because they help Google easily access all content from a website
3. I launched 2 brand new affiliate websites on Saturday and they are both indexed by Google on Sunday so I can confirm you are able to have a totally new website indexed within 24 hours --> both sites are completed and I manually added ALL the XML site maps to Google Search Console
4. Adding up to date information about the brand entity of a website on many external directories and websites including Google My Business helps Google to build a good idea of a website brand and can influence inclusion within the Google Knowledge Graph
5. You can sign up to the Neil Patel SEO blog by accessing your Google Alerts and adding a new entry for https://neilpatel.com/blog/
6. Unicode emojis ☏ are accepted in Google search results and do not cause an SEO disadvantage but they are not always shown in Google search results
7. Start creating and optimizing content for seasonal events such as Black Friday far ahead of time
8. Be aware of external media resources such as images and video which load on your website from external websites and affect your page loading speed
9. You can view a list of the latest thread questions and answers posted to the Google Search Community forum
10. Create a People Card for Google Search results if you want to build your online profile

Honeybadger always shares great information. The rest of us are lucky that he delves so deeply into his SEO research, it saves us all so much time trying to root it out ourselves.

All that's left is for us to put in the time and effort to put the information to good use.
