1. Google: don't confuse search engines

Google's John Mueller said on Twitter that the job of an SEO is not to confuse search engines. If you want something to happen, ensure that Google can understand your web pages. Fortunately, the website audit tool helps you to do that as efficiently as possible.

How to remove errors and confusing elements

Eliminating website errors leads to higher rankings in search engines. An improved UX (user experience) leads to more sales.

  • Remove technical errors that keep search engines away.
  • Improve web page elements that can perform better.
  • Eliminate spelling mistakes.
  • Discover technical problems that only search engines see.

The website audit tool in SEOprofiler checks your web pages quickly and easily. Just enter your website URL and the website audit tool will immediately create a report for you:

The website audit tool also checks other things such as spelling mistakes, the security settings of your site, duplicate content, click depth, and much more.

SEO website audits for mobile web pages

The majority of online searches are carried out on mobile devices. It is important that your web pages can be accessed from these mobile devices.

The website audit tool enables you to check your web pages as if they were accessed from a mobile phone.

Ensure that your web pages work on smartphones, tablets, desktop computers and all other devices.

Optimize the performance of your web pages

Google and other search engines prefer fast web pages. The website audit tool checks how quickly your web pages load.

Fix duplicate content problems

Although there is no penalty for duplicate content, it is more difficult to get high rankings with duplicate content.

The reason for that is that search engines have to decide which version of the pages with the same content they pick for the results. More often than not, they pick the wrong pages.

The website audit tool helps you to identify and delete duplicate content on your website.

Analyze the indexability of your web pages

Can search engines index all of your web pages? You might block search engine bots without knowing it.

The website audit tool checks the indexability of your web pages and the response codes that your web pages send to visitors.

If your pages send the wrong HTTP status response codes, search engines won't visit your pages. The website audit tool makes sure that search engines can visit all pages.

How does your website look on different devices?

A website that looks great on desktop computers might look horrible on tablets or smartphones.

As many people access the Internet from tablet computers and smartphones, it is very important that your website looks good on these devices.

Check the security settings of your server

Your website should be secure and it should be protected against attacks. The website audit tool checks the security settings of your website.

Google prefers secure HTTPS pages. Although it is only a minor ranking signal, secure web pages get better rankings.

Your website has errors that need to be fixed

Even if you're thing that your website is error-free, it's probably not.

The more pages your website has, the more likely it is that there are many errors that have to be corrected.

Even if your web pages were error free when you published them, there can be several things that you have to fix: links can get broken, servers can have problems, there might be duplicate content issues, etc.

All of these errors can have a negative impact on the search engine rankings of your web pages. The website audit tool helps you to make sure that your web pages do not contain errors that can cause problems with search engines.

2. Internet marketing news of the week

Google concludes FLoC origin trial

"At the conclusion of its origin trial, FLoC seems far from ready for adoption, having failed to gain a foothold in the industry. The concern is that Google may ram FLoC through anyway using the weight of Chrome’s market share, despite the web community’s chilly reception.

Although these proposed changes to ad tech will impact the entire industry, as well as regular internet users, Google does not intend to disclose any of the private feedback the company received during FLoC’s origin trial."

Answers to some common questions about appearing in Google News

"News content can appear on several different Google products, including Google News, Google Search, Google Assistant, YouTube, and Discover. For the purposes of this post, we'll focus on Google News and the News surfaces within Google Search, since most publisher questions pertain to these products."
