Warning @seranking.bsky.social is having problems with rank tracking today (just after the March Spam Update) that are causing some concerns - unecessarily because rankings are in fact fine. Rechecking, as shown in their tuto, seems to be correcting the problem

Updates for Google, ChatGPT and Bing, but is the web dead? - SEO News February 2026 Important news in February 2026: the web is not dead! Far from it. 2026 may even be the best year for small, authentic websites to get traffic compared to any previous year in the web’s short history.

Oh no! Now the web is dead too. www.seopress.org/newsroom/seo...

Its nice that you didn't throw @dannysullivan.bsky.social under the bus here. By my calculation, he talked so much in episode 102 that it became two episodes

But did you get the heads up about John's post from Mark or were you already on it ?

I'd be interested to know whether @rustybrick.com saw this before you or not. My experience is that he always gets there first (he says arriving 20 days late to the post)

I’ve long said this about Looker Studio dashboards vs manually compiled dashboards in Excel. I prefer the latter because, despite it‘s name, people tend not to looker at automatically generated ones

Second chance to catch my 2026 predictions for Google and SEO live. This time at #Pau #Béarn

Early signs are that OpenAI hasn’t enough about what advertisers want (control and reporting on subjects where ads are shown). I think that they should consider becoming Google Ad Search partners and save themselves a lot of hassle

By not launching it in France

Just to update on this, @johnmu.com very kindly looked into this and solved it for me. The French belgian pages were showing up on a URL without "www". As an example HREFLANG referenced www.mysite.be but the site also existed (and was indexed) as mysite.be
My faith in HREFLANG is restored ;-)

There's not a problem with 0 results. Pages from .fr domain are showing first, then pages from the .be domain. Ideally we don't want French users seeing the Belgian site in Google and HRFLANG has prevented this happening in the past. It may be specific to this one site. I'll check.

Hey @johnmu.com, is Google ignoring HREFLANG instructions? For an international client I am seeing links to French belgian pages showing up in searches from France with this explination. HREFLANG indicates that these pages are for fr-be audience only. Any similar experiences @aleyda.bsky.social ?

Google happy with AI results but studies show reasons not the be cheerful - Google News April 2025 Although Google is visibly proud of new AI features in search results, studies released in April 2025 are showing that the direct impact is less traffic for sites

It is worth noting that Google hasn’t identified as a search engine for a long time. It calls itself an answer engine.
