Given this, those looking for success with Discover<br \/>\n  should review our advice on <a href=\"https:\/\/alienroad.com\/google-bilgi-bankasi\/helpful-content\/\">creating helpful, reliable, people-first content<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n<p>To increase the likelihood of your content appearing in Discover, we recommend the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Avoid clickbait and similar tactics to artificially inflate engagement by using misleading or exaggerated<br \/>\n    details in preview content (title, snippets, or images) to increase appeal, or by withholding<br \/>\n    crucial information required to understand what the content is about.<\/li>\n<li>Use page titles and headlines that capture the essence of the content.<\/li>\n<li>Avoid sensationalism tactics that manipulate appeal by catering to morbid curiosity, titillation, or<br \/>\n    outrage.<\/li>\n<li>Provide content that&#8217;s timely for current interests, tells a story well, or provides unique<br \/>\n    insights.<\/li>\n<li id=\"images\">Include compelling, high-quality images in your content that are relevant, especially large images that<br \/>\n    are more likely to generate visits from Discover. We recommend using images that meet the<br \/>\n    following specifications:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>At least 1200 px wide<\/li>\n<li>High resolution of more than 300,000 total pixels (for example, a 16:9 image that&#8217;s 1280&#215;720<br \/>\n        pixels would have 921,600 total pixels and satisfies this specification)<\/li>\n<li>16&#215;9 aspect ratio<br \/>\n<aside class=\"note\">\n          Google tries to automatically crop the image for use in Discover. If you choose to<br \/>\n          crop your images yourself, be sure your images are well-cropped and positioned for<br \/>\n          landscape usage, and avoid automatically applying an aspect ratio. For example, if you<br \/>\n          crop a vertical image into 16&#215;9 aspect ratio, be sure the important details are included<br \/>\n          in the cropped version that you specify in the <code>og:image<\/code> <code>meta<\/code> tag).<br \/>\n        <\/aside>\n<\/li>\n<li>Enabled by the <a href=\"https:\/\/alienroad.com\/google-bilgi-bankasi\/robots-meta-tag\/#max-image-preview\"><code>max-image-preview:large<\/code> setting<\/a>,<br \/>\n        or by using <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ampproject.org\/\" class=\"external-link\">AMP<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Use either <a href=\"https:\/\/alienroad.com\/google-bilgi-bankasi\/images-best-practices\/#schema-primary-image-of-page\">schema.org markup<\/a><br \/>\n    or the <code>og:image<\/code> <code>meta<\/code> tag to specify a large image that&#8217;s<br \/>\n    relevant and representative of the web page, as this can influence which image is chosen as the<br \/>\n    thumbnail in Discover.

For example, Discover might not<br \/>\n  recommend job applications, petitions, forms, code repositories, or satirical<br \/>\n  content without any context. Discover makes use of<br \/>\n  <a href=\"https:\/\/alienroad.com\/google-bilgi-bankasi\/guidelines-for-sites-with-explicit-content\/\">SafeSearch<\/a> but beyond that filters<br \/>\n  out content that might be seen as shocking or unexpected.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"traffic-changes\" tabindex=\"-1\">Why Discover traffic might change over time<\/h2>\n<p>\n  Traffic from Discover is less predictable or dependable when compared to keyword-driven<br \/>\n  search visits. Given its serendipitous nature, you should consider traffic from Discover as<br \/>\n  supplemental to your keyword-driven search traffic. Here are some reasons why Discover traffic<br \/>\n  may fluctuate:\n<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n    <b>Changing interests<\/b>: Discover is designed and always improving to show content<br \/>\n    aligned with what someone is interested in, which in part can be based on their search<br \/>\n    activity. If someone is no longer as interested in a particular topic&mdash;perhaps reflected<br \/>\n    by a decline in searching for it&mdash;their Discover feed might show other content they&#8217;re<br \/>\n    more interested in. In turn, this may cause changes in traffic for publishers.\n  <\/li>\n<li>\n    <b>Content types<\/b>: Discover has and continues to adjust the types of content that might<br \/>\n    appear on the feed to better align with what people are looking for. Discover regularly<br \/>\n    shows content including but not limited to sports, health, entertainment, and lifestyle content<br \/>\n    from across the open web.\n  <\/li>\n<li>\n    <b>Updates to Google Search<\/b>: Periodically, we also make<br \/>\n    <a href=\"https:\/\/status.search.google.com\/products\/rGHU1u87FJnkP6W2GwMi\/history\" class=\"external-link\">updates to Search<\/a><br \/>\n    designed to better provide people with links to helpful content. Because Discover is an<br \/>\n    extension of Search, updates can sometimes produce traffic changes. If you notice changes to<br \/>\n    your website&#8217;s performance after an update, it may be useful to review our documentation on<br \/>\n    <a href=\"https:\/\/alienroad.com\/google-bilgi-bankasi\/google-searchs-core-updates-and-your-website\/\">Google Search&#8217;s core updates and your website<\/a>.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"important\">\n      However, it may be that there&#8217;s nothing you need to do after an update. Our<br \/>\n      ongoing work to improve Discover&#8217;s user experience means sites may see changes in their<br \/>\n      traffic that are unrelated to the quality or publishing frequency of their content.<br \/>\n    <\/aside>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"monitor-your-performance-on-discover\" tabindex=\"-1\">Monitor your performance on Discover<\/h2>\n<p>\n  If you have content on Discover, you can monitor your performance using the<br \/>\n  <a href=\"https:\/\/support.google.com\/webmasters\/answer\/9216516\" class=\"external-link\">Performance<br \/>\n  report for Discover<\/a>.
