Happy New Years everyone, I prerecorded this video on New Years Eve to be released on New Years Day. This week we covered a possible small Google search update. Google says the No Country Redirect feature should come back working one day. Google won’t retroactively forward old reconsideration requests. Google said on-hover links that activated on hover are invisible to GoogleBot. Google said feel free to remove mass links from your disavow file. Google said you are welcome to cloak your XML Sitemap file. Search for Gay Fish in Google and Kayne West will show up. Google is looking for expert advisors. John Mueller was working on Christmas and I am sure will work on New Years. Bing has an awesome New Years home page and Google has an egg that hatches on New Years day. That was this past week in search at the Search Engine Roundtable - have a happy, healthy and successful 2016 everyone!
