My website is all about things that people can only do on PC. It makes no sense for my website to have a mobile version and my users agree: The site is getting 97% desktop traffic. Yet, I still have to make sure that the website works on mobile, just because of Google. I would much prefer to opt out of mobile-first indexing. Just because the majority of websites make sense on mobile doesn't mean that all of them do.
What will happen to desktop traffic?
Any negative effects?
Hi, If I put my "affiliate Disclosure" in the very beginning of my blog post, will Google consider that as the 1st paragraph, even its a single line?
Thanks
Do this search on Google without the quotes "blood carpet cleaning deagon" If you search, you will find at least 7 out of the ten listings are owned by one business. Back 2 New Cleaning and all their websites are entirely full of duplicate content. What I mean by duplicate content is, they take an article they then change only the suburb for .e.g.carpet cleaning Brisbane then they change the next article to carpet cleaning Ipswich and so on.
This breaks Google's guidelines, Back 2 New Cleaning is ranking very well, so it is not like Google is not aware of them and their other websites.
The interesting thing is if duplicate content is so bad why is Google not kicking Back 2 New Cleaning and their other websites off the Google cliff. Which most people in the SEO world were told would happen if you use duplicate content the way Back 2 New Cleaning is.
Back 2 New Cleaning is not unique there are other niches like the carpet cleaning niche I'm talking about above, for example, the pool safety inspections niche, my niche SEO and websites, to be honest, any service niche is riddled with the same duplicate content issues.
Google seems powerless to stop this content it is like a virus or maybe Google has stopped caring and only cares about the AdWords side of the business.
hasn't the horse left the barn on this already?
The Twitter hyperlink doesn't work.
thanks but indexing nowadays so stressful. New search console was really a bad idea!
