  1. Hey John….Please take some action on sites like LinkedIn Pulse…spammers are using authoritative sites to rank their content, and original publisher's traffic has gone down for many months….(site reputation abuse)

  2. I think just reverting it back to before the September core update would restore balance to the absolute chaos you've caused for millions of people across the globe. Google SERPS are the worst I've ever seen it whilst BING and others continue to show better more accurate results and people will slowly trickle over to those the more and more unreliable your results become. Let's hope the feedback goes someway towards fixing the most unhelpful update you've ever put on the table.

  3. Curious how Google Search is handling Products that are catalog only. Meaning they are not for sale and don't have price. Currently it shows the product is invalid Schema.
