How to submit website to the Google Search Console correctly?

Submitting your new website to Google Search Console is an important step in getting your website indexed by Google. Here are the steps to submit your new website to Google Search Console:

1. First, go to the Google Search Console website (https://search.google.com/search-console/welcome) and sign in with your Google account.

2. Click on the "Add a Property" button and enter your website URL.

3. You will be asked to verify that you own the website. There are several methods of verification, such as adding an HTML tag to your website, uploading a HTML file, or adding a DNS record. Follow the instructions for your preferred verification method.

4. Once your website is verified, you can access the Google Search Console dashboard. Here, you can see information about your website's performance, index status, and more.

5. To submit your website to Google, click on the "URL Inspection" option in the left-hand menu. Enter the URL of the page you want to index in the search bar and click "Enter."

6. If the page has not already been indexed by Google, you will see an option to "Request Indexing." Click on this button to submit your page to Google.

7. Google will review your page and add it to the index if it meets its guidelines. This process can take a few hours or several days, depending on various factors such as the size of your website and how frequently it is updated.

That's it! Your website should now be submitted to Google Search Console and ready for indexing. It's a good idea to regularly check the Search Console dashboard to monitor your website's performance and make any necessary adjustments to improve its visibility in Google search results.

Twitter starts testing ‘Edit Tweet’ feature: how it works, eligible users and more

The feature will be limited to Twitter Blue subscribers initially.

HIGHLIGHTS

• Twitter has finally started internally testing the ‘Edit Tweet’ feature with limited users.
• Tweets can be edited a few times in the 30 minutes following their publication.
• Edit Tweet feature will be initially expanded to Twitter Blue subscribers in the coming weeks.

Microblogging site Twitter has finally started testing the most asked feature – the ability to edit tweets, named ‘Edit Tweet’. The feature will allow users to make changes to the tweets on the platform. The social media giant says that the feature is currently being tested internally and will be made available in the coming weeks. “If you see an edited Tweet it’s because we’re testing the edit button. This is happening and you’ll be okay,” said the company in a tweet announcing the new feature.

In a blog post, Twitter said the edit featyre is being tested internally and will be initially expanded to Twitter Blue subscribers, at least in the first few weeks. It says the feature will be localised to a single country at first and expand as it learns and observes how people use the Edit Tweet feature.

The Edit feature on Twitter has to be the most requested feature in a while and is a major addition since the character count for a tweet was increased to 280 from 140 in 2017. Prior to the edit feature, a tweet once made cannot be edited. One has to delete the entire tweet and repost it again.

Twitter edit button coming very soon

As said, the feature is currently under testing and probably only a limited section of users will have access to it. The edit tweet feature will join Twitter Blue’s undo button function that allows users to cancel sending a tweet for up to 30 seconds after hitting the send button. Furthermore, everyone on Twitter will be able to see if a tweet has been edited. There will be an ‘edited tweet’ indication that will appear with an icon, timestamp and label to make it clear to readers that the original tweet has been modified.

“We’re hoping that, with the availability of Edit Tweet, Tweeting will feel more approachable and less stressful. You should be able to participate in the conversation in a way that makes sense to you, and we’ll keep working on ways that make it feel effortless to do just that,” said Twitter in a blog post.

In the current state, Twitter doesn’t allow users to edit a tweet. Content once posted cannot be modified. Instead, users have to delete the entire tweet and post it again in case of any corrections. With the edit feature, this will change and will be easy for users to modify the content even after posting. Tweets can be edited a few times in the 30 minutes following their publication.”Think of it as a short period of time to do things like fix typos, add missed tags, and more,” the company explains.

Google Launching May 2022 Broad Core Algorithm Update

 Google is releasing a broad core algorithm update on May 25, 2022. It will take roughly two weeks to fully roll out.

 Google confirms a broad core algorithm update, called the May 2022 core update, is rolling out today.

Core updates are designed to make search results more relevant for users. Though the update is launching today, it will take 1-2 weeks for this update to fully roll out.

Danny Sullivan, Google’s Public Liaison for Search, notes that changes to site performance in search results are to be expected.

“Core updates are changes we make to improve Search overall and keep pace with the changing nature of the web. While nothing in a core update is specific to any particular site, these updates may produce some noticeable changes to how sites perform…”

When a core update rolls out, Google is known for pointing to the same guidance it published in 2019.

Nothing has changed there, as Google references the same document with respect to this update.

To sum it up, Google’s general advice regarding core updates is as follows:

• Expect widely noticeable effects, such as spikes or drops in search rankings.
• Core updates are “broad” in the sense that they don’t target anything specific. Rather, they’re designed to improve Google’s systems overall.
• Pages that drop in rankings aren’t being penalized; they’re being reassessed against other web content that has been published since the last update.
• Focusing on providing the best possible content is the top recommended way to deal with the impact of a core algorithm update.
• Broad core updates happen every few months. Sites might not recover from one update until the next one rolls out.
• Improvements do not guarantee recovery. However, choosing not to implement any improvements will virtually guarantee no recovery.

It has been six months since the last Google core update, which rolled out in November 2021.

Those who have been working hard on their site during that time may start to see some noticeable improvements to search rankings.

On the other hand, those who have left their site sit idle may begin to see themselves outranked by sites with more relevant content.

It’s too early to start assessing the impact, however, as this update will take a week or longer to roll out.

Your rankings may fluctuate during that time, so don’t be alarmed if you notice changes right away.

Google will confirm when the update is finished rolling out, then it will be time to start doing your analysis.
