Just like last year and this past Christmas and the years before - Google's John Mueller spent some of his New Years holiday helping webmasters.
He did it both on New Years eve and New Years day.
Here are some of the posts from John over that two-day holiday period:
- Why does Google show meta descriptions much longer than 160 characters for certain key phrases?, Google Webmaster Help
- Geo-targeting a city - from an SEO perspective, Google Webmaster Help
- I'd focus on something else other than "seo value", Twitter
Thanks John for helping on a day off, consistently.
Forum discussion at the threads above.
