Is Google the next Yahoo?

Few years ago when you tried searching for something on Yahoo search, it showed up search results to answers that were both confusing as well as vague.

You would not use Yahoo again.

Today Google has become the same.

Ask any question that's one layer deep on any given topic and it shows up answers that are generic and vague like Yahoo search is.

You would come out being more confused than you did before the search.

Google knows it has this issue. It's doing nothing about it.

We all know, two months ago Google launched a "Helpful Content Update" where it warned and made assuraces that this update would make everthing 'Ok'. It would be like the Panda or any of those updates that kept SEO junkies sweating all day! They said the update would solve the issues of unhelpful content being found on most search queries.

Crickets!

Nothing happened. All it did was remove content made by bots!

It seems Google has no intention of improving content any more. Its only interested in helping first timers. Ones who have no idea about a given topic and searching for it the first time. Ones who are ok with a Wikipedia search.

Google has now become the Status Quo.

It's open to being disrupted by another company or a bunch of entrepreneurs who are ready to help consumers answer the deeper questions on any topic. Disrupted by the ones who want to serve audiences that search beyond Wikipedia and want to go deep.

Google is in the same position as once Yahoo was two decades ago.

Google is the next Yahoo!

HTTP-HTTPS redirects: domain level or each URL?

Googling for answers seems to give conflicting answers here. We have a domain that has been HTTP but some individual URLs have been HTTPS (like form pages). We are about to deploy HTTPS redirect on the server to get everything going to https://www.domain.com . Do we have to go to the effort of a big 301 redirect list of all page-level URLs without Google dropping our earned page rank? Thanks all! submitted by /u/runtmc2 [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News https://ift.tt/31dJ82b

One website, two properties (domains)

I wasn't sure how to frame that title so let me explain; Due to error on my part, I have ended up with, a www.xyz.com , version of my website, and one that's just xyz.com. Now I'm tracking my traffic differently on GSC and GA. I'm not sure how to feel about this. Is there anyone with a similar situation? Should I just go on like usual or are there things I need to start doing differently? Kindly advise. submitted by /u/Blessed_Dude_101010 [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News https://ift.tt/87Z2MRA
