Google no longer highlighting keyword times in titles within rankings?
-
Anyone else seeing this? Or is it a test rather than full rollout?

LOL Ahh ok I see what you're saying. I think they did away with that a while ago. As of lately I've only seen them bold the searched KW's in the titles. Either way, they are certainly making changes!! Good stuff!

I was meaning bold.
I can go one further just so we can all reminisce, here's Google just over 10 years ago... http://imgur.com/ARW9BGS,GXdbYe7 and here's Google today ... http://imgur.com/ARW9BGS,GXdbYe7#1

Maybe I am misunderstanding...
I've never seen them highlighted, only bold. But can you provide a screenshot of what you are seeing in the SERPS? I'd love to see what you are talking about. Thank you!

Settings the same, tried incognito and searching as per usual via Chrome, just tried IE (can't believe I've had to use IE - oh well!) and the same, across two different IP addresses within our office too, no difference. We are UK based, there may be something in that - tried on Google.com though and no bold keywords!

Hi
No change for me, still have keywords highlighted in bold as always. Strange, have you changed any settings or that recently. Also have you tried on a few different browsers to compare?
Regards
Graeme

Hey Bryan thanks for the response, to me the titles aren't highlighted on your screenshot - maybe your screenshot is a bit to unclear either that or I need glasses? If so not actually a major change - just looks weird after having seen that emphasis for 10 years?

Length for ranking, is it keyword dependant ?
Is the time it takes to rank keyword dependant ? in other word does it take more time for a page to rank on a keyword that has 5000 request a month than for a page to rank on a keyword that has 50 requests a month ?

Is there an automated way to test what HREFLANG is ranking for in google and yandex?
Hi everyone, We implemented HREFLANG code for our international sites. We are wondering is there an automated way to test is HREFLANG is working vs. manually browsing in each international search engine? Also, we implemented this a few days ago, and google webmaster tools stlil hasn't picked up that we have it implemented. I've heard it taking anywhere from 2-8 days. At what point would we see results. our site is http://www.datacard.com Is there an order that the site listings have to follow, for example should x-default be the last item listed? Thanks, Laura

Confused with rankings for keywords that are not on the actual page?
Hey Guys, So I went to search a keyword, my competitor came up, when I looked for that keyword on their page i didn't see it at all, and the page is content thin, how is it they are ranking for the keyword at all? Bit confused at how this works. So having the keyword in your content is not necessary a ranking factor? Please advise and sorry if this question is really amateur, I'm sure based on this search there is more to it then that.... could you other ranking factors as to why they rank for a keyword that is not in their content? Does the whole exact keyword have to be in the content to rank? Thanks all

Switched to HTTPS, now Google ALWAYS changes Page Title & Meta in SERPs
Wordpress website using Yoast. Website switched over from HTTP to HTTPS successfully about 6 months ago. Noticed after the fact that Google almost never displays the Page Title or Meta Description I've created in Yoast. Yoast is the only SEO plug-in enabled. Yoast is set to Force Rewrite the Page TItles. The Page titles & Meta Descriptions are always within the character limit. They also contain either an exact or partial match the queries in which Google shows a different Page Title & Meta Description. For some Queries, Google will display the URL as the Page Title for certain queries. Concrete example, search for: public administration jobs Screenshot of results attached. First time working with HTTPS. The redirects appear to be have done correctly. I'm not sure what the issue is. uOnFjNt
