When It Is Rolling Out

According to  Danny Sullivan tweet on twitter “I expect it to begin in a few hours; these typically take a few days to fully roll out. Yes, we’ll post when the rollout begins. We don’t post when it ends because there’s typically other updates that are always happening, too. But after a few days, as said.

Check Below Mentioned Tweet:

Update Is For Specific Country:

• Update is released globally

Important Factors To Be Considered In This Update According To Google

• Content Quality : “originality of the content, if it is research content  is research done by the website, does your content provide any solution, can we conclude full information from the content, if content reference take by the other website is that website trustable, expertise of the author who is providing the content, is your content is free from factual errors.

If you do not explicitly indicate which URL is the canonical one, Google will select it for you, although you may consider that they all have the same importance, which could generate unwanted behaviour, as explained in the section why should I choose a URL canonical?

What is My canonical URL according to Google?

You can see which page Google considers canonical with the URL inspection tool. Keep in mind that, even if you specifically select a canonical page, Google can choose a different one from yours for several reasons, such as performance or content.

When And How Should You Use Canonical URLs?

You must resort to the canonization of URLs when you have several pages with the same content (or very similar) but you want to boost one over the others.

If you are working, for example, with a series of keywords, but it turns out that you have created content focused on those keywords on several pages and, in fact, have similar content, which page is the most relevant? How can Google know? I assure you it will not be by magic! And it is just there where your SEO Web positioning plan falls apart, because the pages hinder SEO among them, you lower your ranking, you lose traffic and you can be crossed out as a poor quality website.

So, do you have to delete the pages? Do not; its right there where you resort to canonization! Yes, try to have weight differences between each page; that they are not faithful and exact copies of one another since then it will be more complicated to avoid the penalty of content duplicated by Google.

Consolidating Your Website Traffic Example

Total Traffic Consolidation

In current version of webmaster some of the website traffic is attributed to alternate property and some to your canonical property, but in the updated version of webmaster all data can be consolidated to the canonical property, as shown in below image.

Single Page Example:

As we can see the difference in below image old webmaster hold separate attribute for canonical property and alternative property and new updated version every thing is consolidated at one place canonical property.

Mobile Website Example:

In Current webmaster whole mobile traffic attribute is consolidated to m. property, but in the updated version attribute traffic to you canonical property as shown in image below.

Why Are canonical URLs important?

It’s more important than you can imagine! To explain it in a simpler way, I will remind you that Google, in its arduous and extensive task of classifying millions and millions of websites every day, seeks to be able to find the most accurate results for each search, and that is why you and I care so much for keywords and other SEO techniques, to get the best positions in that classification.>

Now, when Google detects your Web and discovers that you have, to say something, about five different pages for the search of ‘sale of evening dresses’, do you think it will show the user those five pages of yours? Not that Google did not have more things to do! When much will show only two, if you’re in luck. And this is precisely why you must canonize your pages, so that when they are detected (two, ten or fifty) they all lead to a single main page, a canonical page that warns the searcher that the content is not copied or duplicated, but rather that it is the main page, the mother page.

How Canonical URLs affect SEO?

Making use of the canonical URL will make your website more likely to be visualized, be indexed in the correct way and achieve a better classification by the search engine, as you will be helping to locate the best content on your website and, in addition, you will be guaranteed a better user experience, something that will undoubtedly make you score points in your rankings.

When Can You Canonize Your URLs?

This is the million dollar question! Although at this point of the post you should already be able to give a clear answer, with all that I have been telling you about the canonical URL or canonical URL, in English, I answer in a summarized way.

If Your Content Is Very Similar Or Is An Exact Copy To Another

The canonical URLs appeared precisely to be able to solve the problem of similar or duplicate content, so this is the main reason to canonize URL.

Check the pages of your website and evaluate which ones have the same information or almost identical information so that the canonices and gather all the SEO potential in a single page.

The snippet is a piece of news or information shared about anything you were searching on the internet. Suppose you are searching for today’s weather and how the upcoming weather of the month will be in your locality. Now you will find a snippet at the beginning of the page that briefly describes what you are looking for. This will either solve your query and if not, you will click on the link and you are going to get the information from the website itself. This is an amazing feature and this will save a huge time of the person that is searching the information on the internet.

So who would be chosen as the top one on the search list and get a chance to be shown on this snippet thing? Well, the procedure is still unknown. But the most probable one and the most deserving one would be the top scorer on the SEO chart. SEO or the search engine optimization is a great thing. This SEO thing helps a website to reach its actual position. That means if you produce good content, you will be shown at the top position and if not, you are not going to get featured anyhow! So the website makers run to the SEO content writers to produce useful articles for their websites.

When someone spends some time searching for a piece of information, he must get the correct information in a brief manner. The SEO contents are filled with useful information, bullet points showing what exactly the person is looking for. So search engines decide to upgrade those contents that are full of information and are reliable at the same time. These contents get a chance to be featured on the snippet list. This will give a wonderful business to the website and of course, help people finding what exactly they are looking for.

When the snippet thing was published for the first time, people got very much interested and it was very helpful. But Google suddenly terminated this thing and now nothing is showing at the snippet part. So the normal, old version of Google is back in form. The officials from Google end said that they run tests and trials every now and then and this snippet thing was also a part of these types of trials. They found out what they were looking for and they will do what is helpful for their users.

Google did one more thing. If the snippet carries the URL of the website, it started dropping the website from the search result. No matter how correct the information is on the website and no matter how effective the website is, they will drop it from the search engine results and not only from the first page; the website will vanish from the first 10 search pages. This is a huge thing and can make huge changes at the same time! Google is doing this purposely as these websites are doing regular business using Google platforms and on the other hand, Google itself is not earning or may be earning the least amount of revenue from most of the sister platforms.

Initially, techies thought that it was a bug and Google got attacked by some unwanted virus or something. But lately, Google published a statement where the company clearly depicted that they were running trials and they were satisfied with the results. Now the core team will decide what they want to do with the website and what kind of changes will be made is also something they’ll decide. So unless they publish another statement, nothing can be predicted or said about what exactly is going to happen with the news snippets.

Very recent a popular movie has inspired people starting a new challenge The “Birdbox challenge”. Here the app maker will ask people to get blindfolded and will give them new challenges to fulfill. Once the challenge is fulfilled, the person will get added points that can be calculated in the next round. In the very next round, the maker will give another set of challenge to the person. In this way, the whole thing progresses and thus youngsters love this thing. It involves children in different dangerous stuff and hence the whole thing is not approved by Youtube.

They give untimely challenges. Suppose you are driving and at the same time they are sending you challenges. You have to complete the challenge within some time. No matter how tough the condition you are in, you have to complete the challenge. So the expected thing can happen at any point! Accidents can happen and you cannot save yourself from this thing. In USA every day lots of accidents take place due to these online pranks. Children are given licenses at an early age and hence these accidents happen with the children in the first place.

Children are always targeted the most in such cases. Actually, children are easily gullible. The thinking and analytical ability of children are less than others and hence they are easily targeted. If these pranks are given to an adult, they can analyze the whole thing at the very first place. They will never fall for the pranks and hence they will never go for such games. For this reason, such apps and games target children at the very first place. Lots of children every year die due to such reasons. Children are targeted and hence all such pranks are banned.

These pranks can be dangerous and sometimes can be fatal too! Lots of reports have lodged that say children tried cruel pranks after getting online challenges. In the USA most of the children feel they need to get promoted in the eyes of their friends and hence they try some tough things without thinking about the results. Parents have to face the results of these challenges and hence they report the same to the police stations of their locality. As a result, Youtube has decided that they wont allow people to put such grieves on the internet. No matter how silly the thing looks, if it contains any type of material that can harm the children, that wont get published on this social media platform.

Bird Box Challenge (Video Source: Adam Saleh Vlogs )

In most of the times, it is not clear that these pranks are for real or they are made up. Everything in todays world depends on the number of likes and views. People spend hours on the internet and hence they watch different types of videos. Such videos sometimes show things that cannot be real anyhow. But they show it in such a way that you feel that it should be real. Youtube has decided to give a two month grace period to the creators and people that upload such thing. The viewers can report the content at any time. If Youtube finds out that this particular prank is harmful and after the grace period it is not removed, they will delete it on their own and the channel where this was uploaded will get banned for a particular period of time.

A new set of community guidelines are out for the creators. Anyone who is new in the field can go out for these guidelines. Before you step out and upload your work on the Youtube platform you have to know the rules. So if you are ready with a prank to upload, watch out for the guidelines.

Project Soli- By Researcher Ivan Poupyrev

Google, the leading innovator in this field has solidified its stance with yet another redefining idea – Project Soli. Researcher Ivan Poupyrev and his team at Google have come up with a game-changing idea. Users can now forget the concept of swiping and using fingers on the gadget screens. Google has now developed a unique ‘gesture technology’ that can work even on the smallest gadget screens. Project Soli can identify finger movements with the help of inbuilt radar microchips.

Radar Based Motion Sensors

The search engine giant was granted approval for the radar-based motion sensors that would be working on higher power levels. This was granted to the company by the Federal Communications Commission on December 31st2018 (Monday). Although this was initially opposed by Facebook, for the reasons of how this might cause glitches in existing technologies, both parties also reached a consensus on the same. The approval was granted on the grounds of Public Interest and since the power level after compromises and changes cannot cause any major damage to any source or person.

How Radio Frequency Spectrums Is Used To Track Micro Motion

The rubrics of this technology, as explained by the mastermind Russian scientist are the ‘usage of radio frequency spectrums to track micro motions of the human hand.’ While radars have long been used to track objects and satellites, they are now being put to use and tracking human gestures. The radar readings are used with wearable and gadgets. The radar technology uses a ‘gesture recognition pipeline’ to intercept the hand gestures from the receiver and processing it into hand signals. These signals were based on the ‘human intent’ gestures that are usually used while doing a certain physical activity like turning the volume up or down, pressing a button between your index and thumb finger, or setting the time on an analogue watch.

With much talks and buzz happening about this project, competitors, stakeholders, and the tech-savvy customers are waiting for more news from Google about the same. The official launch and talk is yet to happen since all that we have seen so far are news and a video released by Google explaining Project Soli.

Since, India is one of the countries with religious fervor with people going for the celebration which can be either through the Janmashtami celebration or through RamNavmi where the procession takes place and people forget to get the route clear notice through the various diversion and route clear signals can be found by the app which is technological in every possible manner.

The country is with the name of two popular cities which are the Delhi and Bangalore with the traffic updates along with the metro construction chaos to be justified through the app as it gives the real routes about clearance through traffic snarls.
