Dare say a lot of these cars are from China and highly subsidised with low deposits and 0% finance deals. Same is happening in the UK. Legacy brand car makers are pulling back because they can't compete in this market.

I used to work in construction in a previous life and always said I could judge how good a tradesman is simply by their appearance. The same goes for their website. If they have pride in their work it will show; if they do just about enoug

Doesn't have to be just larger sites. If someone launched their basic website 5 years before you did it's going to be difficult to outrank them.

Most people are indeed. Many of these people will also be able to complete very difficult tasks that you can't.

I think you underestimate how what you just wrote will fly over the head of most non technical people?

Recently explained to a local service business owner that all she needed to do was get listed on Google maps and start asking customers for reviews. Literally showed her how competing businesses were top of the search results by doing just

Very much location dependent though. I lived less than a mile from Southampton city centre for a while and could never get anything close to dial-up standard download/upload speeds. I've heard similar from London residents.

You can use x-robots noindex on any page and it will not be indexed. This has been the case for at least the past decade.

Because you can see pages not affected doesn't guarantee they will stay that way.

I've witnessed a few catastrophes that have resulted in mistakes made via robots.txt, especially when using 'disallow' as an attempt to prevent pages being indexed. I don't know if the claims made here are true but there

If I'm buying shoes that were made in the third world for minimal cost then branding is not a guarantee of quality that it once was. This has been the case for at least the past ten years but it goes to show that if you have a well-kn

I stopped drinking a year ago and noticed I have registered far fewer domains as a consequence. Those late night ideas can rack-up a sizeable renewal bill with no real progress being made.

At the time of my diagnosis for Type 1 my glucose levels were very high (HbA1c of 134 (UK) / 14% (US)). I lost an extreme amount of weight over a short time period and became very ill. I'm struggling to understand how occasional f

I found having the monitor on my left arm results in a more reliable connection and consistent readings. This isn't just during the day either, so can't be explained by lifestyle patterns?

Housing used to be relatively cheap in Spain which has resulted in huge swathes of the main cities and tourist resorts becoming almost entirely airbnbs. The social/economic implications could have been predicted long ago.

They don't want to upset the high number of middle-class Spaniards who have all of their money invested in airbnbs.

It's something you'll experience if you publish many sites over time. Can't point to any definitive sources, many of the reputable search related blogs are now just Google shills.

'I don’t think I’ve met anyone in the UK who routinely checked tripadvisor for anything!' Counterpoint: I have met people in the UK who's lives revolve around doing nothing but.

Sounds like point 2 was a negative seo attack. It could be that your /?s page is being cached and getting picked up via crawlers. You can avaoid this by no caching search pages and applying noindex via X-robots tag https://d

Breaking News: Google de-indexes random sites all of the time and there is often no obvious reason why. They also penalize sites in a way where pages are indexed but so deep-down that no one will ever find them. Again, there is often no obv

There are good businesses out there that don't get a lot of reviews because they don't ask for them. Relying upon customers to do this without a prompt is not something I'd recommend.
