Hocalwire Daily Roundup | Google's Revised SEO Starter Guide Is Out

Google unveils its updated SEO Starter Guide, highlighting key strategies for website optimization. However, amidst recent challenges, including a bug affecting hyphenated file names in Google Sitemaps and the postponement of third-party cookie deprecation, the tech giant faces hurdles in maintaining its digital ecosystem's stability and privacy measures."

Google's Revised SEO Starter Guide Is Out

It was to be expected that Google eventually modify and significantly reduce its Google SEO beginner guide. As to Google's statement, the upgrade was designed to cater more to novice SEO users than to seasoned SEO experts. Google only introduced a small amount of new content, reduced and shortened a large amount of existing content, and deleted a large amount of stuff.

Google Sitemaps Bug With Hyphenated File Names

There may be a strange bug that Google is experiencing with XML sitemap files that have hyphens in the file name. Therefore, using /sitemap10.xml with the same exact file will not result in any issues, but using /sitemap-10.xml will cause a "couldn't fetch" error. The Google Search Console's sitemaps section displays this problem.

Google ‘cannot proceed with third-party cookie deprecation’

The search engine needs to do more to address issues raised around its proposed Privacy Sandbox changes or else it will not be able to deprecate third-party cookies from Chrome in the second half of 2024 as planned.
