Now that 2013 is almost over, we’d love to take a quick look back, and venture a glimpse into the
future. Some of the important topics on our blog from 2013 were around mobile,
internationalization, and search quality in general. Here are some of the most popular new posts
from this year:
- Changes in rankings of smartphone search results
- A faster image search
- Introducing “
x-default hreflang” for international landing pages - 5 common mistakes with
rel=canonical - A reminder about selling links that pass PageRank
- View manual webspam actions in Webmaster Tools
- The Webmaster Academy goes international
- We created a first steps cheat sheet for friends and family
- In-depth articles in search results
- Make the most of Search Queries in Webmaster Tools
rel="author"frequently asked (advanced) questions- Getting started with structured data
- Backlinks and reconsideration requests
- Making smartphone sites load fast
- Easier recovery for hacked sites
- So long, 2013, and thanks for all the fish
It’s been a busy year here on the blog. We hope that our posts here have helped to make these –
sometimes complex – topics a bit easier to understand. Is there anything you would have wanted
more information about? Let us know in the comments!
Our
Help Forum and
office hours hangouts
have also been a place for helpful, insightful, and sometimes controversial discussions. It’s not
always easy to find ways to improve websites, or to solve technical and usability issues that
users post about, so we’re extremely thankful to have such a fantastic group of
Top Contributors
that give advice and provide feedback there.
Where are we headed in 2014? Only time will tell, but I’m sure we’ll see more information for the
general webmaster, hard-core technical advice, ways to make mobile sites even better, rockin’
Webmaster Tools updates, tips on securing your site and its connections, and more. Are you ready?
Don’t forget your towel and let’s go!
On behalf of all the webmaster help forum guides, we wish you happy holidays and a great 2014.
Comment nous l'appliquons
We archive Search Central announcements because client questions often trace back to a change that was announced years ago. Reading the original is faster than reconstructing it from second-hand summaries.
