2:50 - We've just bought a domain name, but the cache hasn't reset and it's not showing up in Google results. How do we fix this?

11:04 - Does Google penalize duplicate content for localized websites?

14:52 - Why would Google consider LinkedIn Pulse articles as an original publisher even though it was published on our website first?

    Google, why are you even posting ? Your recent GitHub leak shown that you constantly lie to webmasters and users. Page rank is still there even thou you lied to court about it, sandbox exists even thou you said it doesn't, incoming links are still a top factor even thou you keep lying that it isn't. Guys, look for Google GitHub leak.

    Hi Google, there are so many of us affected by the missing thumbnails in SERPs and despite our repeated efforts for clarity, you continue to ignore us. This is both a user issue and site owner issue - users aren't enticed to click on high-quality content (because there are no thumbnails) and site owners are losing rankings and traffic. Your failure to respond is cruel and displays a complete lack of empathy for us. We have worked so hard and you just ignore us as if we are nothing. Please, please fix this bug.

    Dear Google, quite a few of us submitted questions regarding the missing thumbnails in the SERPS. We're struggling to understand why, no matter which channel or platform we use, we are just completely ignored on this issue. Please, please can you help us get it fixed? You say that it doesn't have enough of a user impact if there are no images to show the user what to expect inside the post, but yet you increase the size of the favicons instead. From our perspective (when livelihoods are involved), it makes it really hard to understand how this is more important to users.

    Missing images DO affect user experience. Users are enticed by photos and when photos are missing, they are missing out on high-quality content because they won't click on it. Google purports to elevate the best-quality content for its users, but if it's not showing all thumbnails equally, it's not achieving that objective.

    Comme beaucoup ici toutes nos vignettes d'images ont disparu depuis des semaines (page d'accueil, pages produits, pages collection, articles de blog...tout a disparu !). Nous enregistrons une baisse considérable de commandes car les images de nos concurrents n'ont aucun soucis sur la serp. C'est une catastrophe et nous n'avons aucune directive à suivre pour changer cela ou au moins une date à laquelle le problème sera fixé. S'il vous plait, corrigez le soucis pour rétablir des résultats de recherche équitables

    Is the canonical tag definition used only to prevent duplicates within the contents of a single website, or is it applied by comparing the contents of all websites on the internet? Because when using APIs, it's very difficult to prevent different websites from using the same content. Therefore, it might be necessary to avoid using this tag.

    The issue with missing image thumbnails in search results remains unresolved. It started on Jan 30, 2024, and persisted until Feb 8, then recurred from Mar 17 to today-over 2 months. This affects all our visibility, CTR, and rankings, causing a competitive disadvantage! Again, we ask you to resolve this bug! 8 Search results on page 1 - and we are the only one without a thumbnail...How can you compete with that?

    It makes no sense that Google wouldn't make a call that SERPs images not displaying for an entire owner's site is not a problem. We rank in #1 position, yet the SERP thumbnail is missing consistently. I am seeing a huge disparity in CTR as a result, users are ignoring my #1 content in favour of the #2, #3 and beyond spots because they DO have thumbnails - I can see this clearly in Search Console. To disregard this and claim it makes no difference to a user's experience just doesn't add up. I would appreciate a fix so that as a small independent business, I can compete on somewhat of a level playing field.

    It's very disappointing to hear you say the images in SERPs are not important enough to address. For site owners, it is very important and you're essentially manipulating CTR showing images for some sites and not for others. Either show images for all sites or show images for none, but disappearing images for a single site for every post is not a fair way to treat website owners.
