If there is poor quality information being served up in the SERPs, Google will have a big problem: Users will stop searching, and this hits Google where it hurts — in their advertising revenue. So it makes sense that Google is keen to push forward authoritative and trustworthy sites when it comes to ranking in the results. Towards the end of 2022, Google updated three key areas of the algorithm that it uses to judge where it ranks websites within search engine results pages. The helpful content update, link spam update, and E-A-T — which is now known as E-E-A-T. [HEADING=1]Distrust is now our default emotion[/HEADING] Nearly six in 10 consumers say their default…

Not to state the obvious, but as marketers, part of our job is to create content. Whether it’s in the form of blog posts, landing pages, social media posts, emails, newsletters, and so on - there’s no way to get around it. It is a critical component of our job. And sometimes, it can be challenging to come up with new ideas or ways to iterate on old ones. With the world consuming content at lightning speed, it is becoming even more difficult to keep up with the expectation of turning out fresh content. We’ve recently published some excellent pieces on the Moz Blog all about content distribution and strategy, including the Whiteboard Fridays “How to Maximize Content” and…

We would like to advise that we will discontinue the option to pay via paysafecard on woltlab.com as of May 1, 2023. In recent years, the interest of our customers in paying with paysafecard has steadily decreased and we have seen a consistent shift towards other payment methods such as PayPal and credit cards. Following the transition from electronic cash cards to (debit) credit cards, which has already started at some banks, we cannot see any indications of a contrary trend here either. Additional regulations, such as the requirement of a “myPaysafe” account for transactions above a certain threshold, have also led to a noticeable decline. In view of the l…

Wir möchten drauf hinweisen, dass wir die Option zur Bezahlung per paysafecard auf woltlab.com zum 1. Mai 2023 einstellen werden. In den letzten Jahren hat das Interesse unserer Kunden an der Zahlung an paysafecard kontinuierlich abgenommen und wir konnten eine konsequente Verschiebung hin zu anderen Zahlungsmethoden wie beispielsweise PayPal und Kreditkarte beobachten. Durch den bereits bei einigen Banken begonnene Übergang von EC-Karten hin zu (Debit-)Kreditkarten können wir hier auch keinen gegenläufigen Trend erkennen. Zusätzliche Regularien, wie beispielsweise die Erfordernis eines „myPaysafe”-Kontos für Transaktionen ab einem gewissen Betrag haben ebenfalls z…

Our May update brings Email Bounce Management to our Invision Community cloud platform. In this blog entry, I'll go over what it is, why it's important, and how you can use it when needed. What is it? For those who may not know, an email bounce occurs when an email message is sent and the recipient either doesn't exist (hard bounce) or they have blocked the sender (you!) in a spam complaint (soft bounce). When an email message bounces we block that address at the cloud level so it cannot receive new messages from any community. This is considered good practice for email service providers, and ensures that we maintain a low bounce rate when sending emails on behal…
