3:29 Thank you for answering my question, but I still it didn't clear my confusion. BTW, why did you skip my name while reading my question? Is it too hard for you to pronounce 😭
John Mueller compared SEO to buying a book, asking if pretty cover photo, good topic, proper English, and short sentences, would do a better job of selling. But he fails to address the fact that no one will buy the book if Amazon doesn't display it in it's search results. Hence, rankings and promotion means everything.
Why is it necessary to register with URL prefix in the search console tool to reject backlinks? Why disavow tool does not authorize accounts opened with domain name?
