How do you check if your cookie banner is doing its job?

We have a cookie banner on our site and I always assumed that meant we were pretty much covered from a compliance perspective. Lately I have been wondering how much that actually proves, especially when it comes to third party trackers firing before someone makes a choice or different rules applying depending on where the visitor is located. For those of you managing websites or working in marketing, how do you usually check this? Do you rely on the built in reports from your CMP or do you run separate scans to see what is actually happening on the site. I am also curious whether anyone has switched cookie banner providers because their original setup looked fine but was not enforcing consent properly. submitted by /u/Comrade-Kiwi [link] [comments] from The SEO Authority https://ift.tt/VMzQ2Ka

My sitemap has been showing "Couldn't fetch" for five days now.

So, before I start, I have two domains. The first one is an expired domain that I recently bought. Its sitemap has been showing "Couldn't fetch" in GSC for the past five days. The second one is a brand-new domain. I submitted its sitemap, and within just 10 seconds, the status changed to "Success." Both websites are hosted on the same server. I've checked pretty much everything, but I still can't figure out what's wrong or why the first domain's sitemap keeps showing "Couldn't fetch." So here's my question: Could this be happening because I bought an expired domain? Is it possible that Google has flagged it as spam or something? I've already checked its history, including the Wayback Machine, and found nothing suspicious. Does anyone know what might be causing this or how to fix it? I also tried submitting the same sitemap to Bing Webmaster Tools, and it worked perfectly fine. submitted by /u/irmemon225 ...

How do I know if what I am doing is working vs randomness

I have been working on growing a website for a product I am selling. I am writing blogs and doing a bunch of things I learned from this sub. I can see some general "line go up" type signals but I am trying to figure out if I am seeing noise or actual progress. info about the website: it is less than two months old. as of today my impressions went up to 150/day, clicks are at about 4 and average position is 18.8. I have 5 or 6 pages that rank on the first page the rest are scattered and I have no back links yet. submitted by /u/Fun_Importance_4970 [link] [comments] from The SEO Authority https://ift.tt/kVYZd07

Google Image Search & Google Discover Do Not Support JPEG XL Image Format

Thanks to the best News Analyst in the SEO community - the one and only u/rustybrick John Mueller at Google recently confirmed that Google Image Search and Google Discover don't yet support the JPEG XL image format. He said this on Bluesky recently, "FWIW if you're hoping to get images shown in Google Images & as previews in Discover, etc - JPEG-XL is currently not supported." He then linked to the official help documentation that lists out which image formats Google Search supports, it says: Google Search supports images referenced in the src attribute of img in the following file formats: BMP, GIF, JPEG, PNG, WebP, SVG, and AVIF. It's also a good idea to have the extension of your filename match with the file type. submitted by /u/WebLinkr [link] [comments] from The SEO Authority https://ift.tt/pUPcgaq
