Here are the top 7 reasons for a sudden ranking drop, with a list of symptoms, recovery tips, and prevention methods for each. 1. Manual search engine penalty. Manual actions are imposed by human reviewers at Google when they determine that "pages on your site are not compliant with Google's webmaster quality guidelines". There are various reasons for manual actions; the most common are: hacked site, user-generated spam, unnatural backlinks, thin content, and cloaking. 2. Algorithm update. First things first, an algorithm update can hit your site in two ways. First, it may be a new algorithm (or a major update of an older algorithm) released by Google. Second, it may be one of the continuous refreshes of the known algos. Now that Google's Penguin algorithm is real-time, and Panda's part of the search engine's core algorithm (and thus likely refreshes more frequently than before), Penguin and Panda are the major updates to look out for, regardless of you...

Apple just launched its latest iOS update, 10.3, and quietly added a few features that should make your current iPhone (or iPad) feel like it's moving a bit faster. Alongside a slew of Siri tweaks and AirPods support, iOS 10.3 marks Apple's move to a new Apple File System. According to Business Insider's Kif Leswing, this changes how the device stores and locates data. With the upgrade from HFS+, the new Apple File System is expected to help iPhones and iPads run "more smoothly going forward." Apple engineer Renaud Lienhart tweeted Monday that the new iOS feels "snappier" because many animations had been slightly altered "for the better." For at least one early adopter, non-old phones equipped with the new update now feel "slightly more responsive" than before. The Verge's Tom Warren added that users shouldn't expect to notice an increase in speed immediately, but apps requiring high amounts of data writing may seem faste...

Google has now added a new section in its Play Store app marketplace. The new section is called the ‘Free app of the week’ and will now highlight one free app every week. One detail to note is that the new free apps section only appears the US storefront for now. As pointed out by Android Police, accessing the Free Apps section is fairly simple. If you are on your desktop, simply point your browser to the Google Play Store and then click on the Apps section.

According to a report by TechCrunch, Facebook stated, “Everyone loves a good GIF and we know that people want to be able to use them in comments. So we’re about to start testing the ability to add GIFs to comments and we’ll share more when we can, but for now we repeat that this is just a test.” Initially, the GIF comment button will be available to a select group of people and later, will be rolled out to everyone. It will work similarly to the GIF button spotted on Facebook Messenger, allowing users to both browse trending GIFs and search for specific reactions too. Interestingly, Facebook may also add a new reaction called "Dislike" for Facebook Messenger. In February this year, the social-media giant celebrated the first anniversary of “Reactions” and recorded 300 billion “Reactions” on posts and the “Love” reaction was used ...

YouTube Videos Blocked in your Country You could be staying in a country like US, UK or India but may not be able to watch every video on YouTube – that’s because the content owners have allowed access to that video only from certain countries or geographic regions. If your computer’s IP address falls outside that geographic region, YouTube will display an error saying “This video is not available in your country” – this message has nothing to do with censorship, it’s the owner of the video clip who could be limiting access. YouTube Filters in Action For instance, a video uploaded to YouTube by Warner Brothers or Sony Entertainment may not be available outside US. Similarly, BBC videos on YouTube can only be watched from UK. BBC has mentioned the reason behind region filtering on their official BBC Channel – “Because of the way that the BBC is funded in the UK through the license fee, we cannot make videos available outside of the UK”. Similarly the Olympic Games channe...

Google is making a play to capture the family market. Today it announced its new Family Link app, which lets parents create a Google account for their kids. This account is completely controlled by parents, so that means they can manage the apps their kids use, monitor how long they’re staring at their device, and set a designated “bedtime” for the screen. They can remotely lock it, too. To create this account, parents just have to get their kids a device that runs Android Nougat, download Family Link, and then create an account through the app. Family Link is now available through an early-access program. Yes, you’ll have to request an invite and your kids also have to be under 13 years old. It isn’t clear how freely Google is giving out these invites. The new app certainly seems like an obvious attempt to steal some of Amazon’s share of the tablet market. Amazon offers great kid controls on the Kindle. The company even released a kids-only Fire tablet that provides child-friendly ...

A few weeks ago, WhatsApp replaced the ability for users to set a text-based in-app status with a Snapchat Stories clone. Now, after user backlash, the company is re-adding the ability for users to set an availability status through the About section of the messaging app. Like Instagram, Facebook Messenger, and Facebook’s regular app, the WhatsApp version of Snapchat stories allows users to post pictures and videos that disappear after 24 hours. WhatsApp hoped that the picture and video stories would serve a similar function as the text-based statuses, but apparently users felt differently. Per WhatsApp, new About Status “will appear next to profile names anytime you view contacts, such as when creating a new chat or looking at Group info.” There’s probably a lesson here somewhere about sticking to the things that users like about your app and not just running after the current popular thing that you’re competitors are doing, but given the industry’s pace of copying features from e...
