Google Webmaster Report for September

The webmaster report for August/September, which includes the latest updates issued by Google during the past month. Last month, we did not have any official update, but something made Google’s results fluctuate slightly at the end of August. After reviewing several specialized sites, I found many comments that reached hundreds of comments in this regard, which confirms the theory that there are updates coming soon in Google’s algorithms. We are still waiting for the official confirmation from Google if there is actually an upcoming update or if it is just speculation. Earlier last month, Google's annoying search director, Matt Cutts, published a video explaining the importance of using the "NoFollow" tag on the side menus on the site, in a move to prevent advertisers' links from exceeding the page rankings on Google. This video was accompanied by Google introducing manual procedures, which made requesting reconsideration a purely manual matter for webmasters.

One of the things that has strengthened doubt among search engine optimization experts and webmasters about the existence of an upcoming update to the algorithms is the failure to make any update to the “Page Rank” in Google for more than six months, as the last update was in late February 2013. This article is subject to update, and here are some of the most important topics and updates from the past month: 

  Matt Cutts: It is best to use the NoFollow tag for side menus Matt Cutts: Don’t worry about annoying links, just disavow them Matt Cutts: We fight spam and annoying content in more than 40 countries Matt Cutts: Website loading speed on smart phones What are the manual procedures in Google “manual site blocking” Cutts: Does your small site deserve a better ranking in Google #GoogleUpdates #WebmastersMonthlyReport
