\"Happy-New-Year_2020\"<\/a><\/p>\n

2019 has been full of wins and losses for us SEOs. Multiple announced and some unconfirmed algorithm updates have kept us on our toes and made us adapt accordingly. These updates steadily shape how Google will process search in the years to come and we want you, our readers, to be ready and stay ahead of the game this 2020. SEO is an ever-changing industry and we should be in-the-know about the most recent updates and we should also possess a mastery of the past updates that happened.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

SEO in 2019\u2019s defining trait is the continuous shift of importance to intent-focused, query-answering content. It\u2019s not all about word count, meta tags, and links anymore. So, without further ado, and in no particular order, these are the articles that will help you stay ahead of the SEO game in 2020! Happy New Year, SEO Hackers!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

How BERT Affects SEO and How You Can Optimize For It<\/span><\/a><\/h2>\n

\"Cover<\/p>\n

BERT or otherwise known as Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers is one of the most recent updates by Google. However, we have to note that this isn\u2019t an update to their ranking algorithm. This update is solely to improve their understanding of the content found in the millions of websites on the world wide web.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Through BERT, Google\u2019s understanding of words and their context & meaning deepens. They\u2019ll be able to correctly ascertain what your content is all about. This means that most of us content creators will not be limited to using simple and easily understood words.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

2020 won\u2019t be different from the latter part of 2019 since most of the major updates happened during this time. I believe that the start of 2020 is when they\u2019ll finalize and smoothen out all the updates they\u2019ve released this year. So, it would be great for you to learn and understand how BERT affects Google\u2019s search processes.<\/span><\/p>\n

Google Chrome Will Start Blocking HTTP Resources in HTTPS Pages<\/span><\/a><\/h2>\n

\"Cover<\/p>\n

This wasn\u2019t a major update but this does affect how users interact with your website. Google has been pushing for a safer and more secure search experience for all the users. This wasn\u2019t unexpected but a good number of webmasters have been affected by this update since this is more a gray area with regards to our websites. Since most of us, as long as the image or resource does the job, we put it in our pages. This is why I\u2019ve made it a practice to produce my own images and upload them to my site for them to automatically be regarded as from an https source.<\/span><\/p>\n

Make sure to adapt to this update since you\u2019ll not only look good to your visitors but you\u2019ll also be sending positive signals to Google and other search engines.<\/span><\/p>\n

Blog SEO: Guide Questions to Writing Your Blog Posts<\/span><\/a><\/h2>\n

\"Cover-Photo-Questions-to-Ask-Before-Writing-A-Search-Engine-Optimized-Blog-Post-Recovered-1024x768\"<\/p>\n

Content is still king. That hasn\u2019t changed since the year the phrase has been introduced. As Google improves its content learning process, blogging for SEO is more important than ever. Having optimized technical factors and backlinks won\u2019t cut it. You\u2019ll need content to be successful in search.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Through the guide questions, you\u2019ll have a checklist that will not only ensure that you have a perfectly optimized content but you\u2019ll also be able to perfectly answer the user\u2019s query you\u2019re targeting.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Official Google Advice on Core Update Recovery<\/span><\/a><\/h2>\n

\"Cover<\/p>\n

This year has been full of core algorithm updates. SEOs and webmasters have been clamoring to find out the \u201csolution\u201d to these updates. Finally, Google has released its official \u201cadvice\u201d to recovering from being hit by these continuous core updates.<\/span><\/p>\n

One thing we have to understand is that core updates are never about a single search factor. It\u2019s a holistic update to their core algorithm. This means that you can\u2019t optimize a single technical factor inside your website. You have to improve your website as a whole.<\/span><\/p>\n

Everything You Should Know About E-A-T<\/span><\/a><\/h2>\n

\"What<\/p>\n

Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness, otherwise known as E-A-T has been a buzzword in the SEO industry for some time now. It all started in 2018 and through numerous updates that hit numerous sites, E-A-T started gaining traction as one of the most important factors a site should have.<\/span><\/p>\n

This 2020, I believe it won\u2019t be any different. E-A-T is still a problem many websites are dealing with up to today and the best way, through numerous experiments and tests on my side and through Google\u2019s official advice, improving your content to better fit your user\u2019s needs is the best way to mitigate this problem.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Happy New Year, SEO Hackers!<\/span><\/h2>\n

2020 is just around the corner. Are you ready for what\u2019s coming? 2019 has been a year full of opportunities and adversities and I doubt 2020 would be any different. It\u2019s our job and responsibility as SEOs and webmasters<\/a> to always be on the top of our game and bring about a great search experience for all the users in the search market.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
