SEO News: Don't Block Javascript and Google IS Looking For Testers

Today, I am going to share two news insights from Google. First news is related to mobile search result. It seems like Google is working quite seriously to improve the mobile search result and enforce the webmasters to pull up their socks and provide the best possible results to end users. Recently, Google has implemented a change in Google mobile search result. As per that, if you have blocked javascript, CSS, etc. then Google won't show your description snippet in the mobile search result. Instead of the snippet, it will show following
"A description for this result is not available because of this site’s robots.txt – learn more."
Learn more in the snippet redirect to a link of Google's support page which explains about robots.txt. As a webmaster, you must be knowing that Google had announced, "Not to block CSS, Javascript, images, etc. back in Aug, 2012 for desktop search. Now, again Google has enforced the same for mobile search. So your robots file should not block Googlebot to crawl your css, javascript, images, etc. for your desktop or mobile version. In short, be transparent to Google.

Another news insight from Google is that now you can be a tester at Google for some time. :) No there is no job vacancy available at Google. The fact is Google is releasing the alpha version of its new search query report module in GWT. For that Google webmaster's team is looking for some volunteer webmasters who can use the alpha version of "Search Query result" and test it. Keep in mind that, the version of the search queries can have bugs and interface issues. The feedback collected from the users will be used in the final version of "Search query report" of Google. If you want to be part of this test, here is the sign up form link: http://goo.gl/Iub7Zt

This news is announced by Google webmaster's team on Google+. Here is the snippet of what they said


So another future news is Google Webmaster's search Query report is going to be changed soon. :)

The conclusion of this blog is, Google is working hard to give the best to their users, specific focus is towards the mobile users. So the takeaway here is, work hard to give the best experience to users and enhance your website to make it mobile user friendly in all ways possible.
