Our latest "how-to" article is live and kicking on @sejournal. 🚀 twitter.com/sejournal/stat…

@JohnMu @dawnieando @dejanseo I don't understand how Google can be so sure what is and isn't a guest post to automatically nofollow, legitimate natural links. Please see my comments on this post for the examples: linkedin.com/feed/update/ur…)

Just putting this on my blog as a record. You don't even need to read the post as we already knew that majority of people in our industry guest blog for links: dejanmarketing.com/guest-blogging/

@methode @aminedahimene @rustybrick @dannysullivan @RyanJones @ajkohn @lilyraynyc That sounds like it could translate to "If a webmaster has made a link nofollow for nonsensical reasons that don't support the web ecosystem (e.g. media sites nofolllowing natural links), Google ignores the directive and treats nofollow as follow?

@aminedahimene @rustybrick @dannysullivan @RyanJones @ajkohn @lilyraynyc Can you suggest a better word? The idea behind it is that we generally use/don't use something a webmaster provided, unless we have a good reason not to/to. For example, if all rel-canonicals on a site start pointing to the homepage, it's likely a mistake, so we may ignore them.

@JohnMu On the mobile-first indexing best practices, it talks about not using fragment URLs which make perfect sense, but is there any issue with having anchors on a page so certain sections are navigated to using a fragment of the standard URL?

@GoogleAds Where has frequency capping gone? I can't find it in the new interface.

@JohnMu @p3sn @jdevalk I'd argue that if have a page about apples but unpublish it and 301 it to the homepage about fruit in general (if no more relevant subpages available), that's better UX than someone searching for apples and landing on a 404?! More likely to bounce with the latter scenario I feel.

@JohnMu what does Google do when a site redirects all its 404s to the homepage? Seeing more and more sites do this and it's such an anti-pattern.

@leptidigital @JohnMu Pretty crazy that one entity is saying "you must have a pop up about cookies etc or you'll get fined". Whilst another is saying "don't have a pop up or you'll lose visibility, traffic and business as a result". Rock | Hardplace.

@JohnMu Very clear, so there is no "GDPR interstitial exception", thanks a lot John!

@JohnMu If Google can identify a web page contains a video (say a YouTube video) are you going be more lenient with 'thin content' if there is very little text on the page because the video does all the talking and provides all the content the page needs?

@JohnMu How should we handle our site which has lots of external outbound dofollow links pointing to where we host our images (on another website/cloud). On that note, what about outbound links to social media profiles which are also dofollow. Any advice on that?

@instagram I can’t spend money with you on advertising!

@randfish Had a feeling you’d say that! #legend

@Web_Vibes It's not how I'd do things, but I hope it works well for them and for customers.

@randfish What's your thoughts on the Moz price increase?

@British_Airways You could do with a new website. UX isn't great!

@JohnMu @barapchev Maybe it should? A good quality business will spend time and money to make sure things are published to perfection. A poor quality business won't. Surely this should be a factor to help Google weed out the wheat from the chaff. Would you read a print magazine littered with typos?

@JohnMu , Google sees the grammatical errors in a given text, but I guess it shows Google that the text is with a lower quality, right? :) Thank you!

@JohnMu What's your thoughts on SEO agencies enforcing a notice period so that a client cannot leave (and has to keep paying) for say 3 or 6 months, even if they are not happy with the service being provided?

Look - an informative article from @neilpatel neilpatel.com/blog/algorithm… Then I remembered, I actually enjoyed it much more the 1st time when @glenngabe wrote it: gsqi.com/marketing-blog…

@buffer Thanks! Is it likely that will always remain that way? Also, will there ever be the possibility to add filters at your end? And to ReBuffer carousel posts?

@Web_Vibes Hey friends! Instagram have released an official API for direct posting, which is really exciting! So far they're not supporting multiple images, the only option we have is if we create the post with an iOS device and use Buffer's Reminders feature to share the images -Dave

.@Buffer plans to add the ability to add multiple photos for Buffered Instagram posts! 🤞 twitter.com/buffer/status/…
