Happy New Years all! This week I covered a possible Bing search update. I also discussed why my site may have been hit by the Google Panda 4.1 algorithm. Google’s quality algorithms do not trigger deeper GoogleBot crawls. Google says be careful not to do a 301 redirect from http to https and then leave canonicals going back to http. Google said no need to worry about the site command anymore. Google’s rich snippets for reviews are not for testimonials. Yahoo closed down the Yahoo Directory. Webmasters and SEOs talk about what 2015 will bring to SEO. I shared many of the New Years Eve and New Years Day logos from the search industry. That was this past week in search at the Search Engine Roundtable.
