Browsing: Rank

Google seems to be successfully blocking enough of the attempts of scrapers from trying to scrape data from its search results page over the past few weeks than it has in a long time. We reported this a few weeks ago, and I am surprised to see that many tools still struggle with Google Search…

Google’s John Mueller recently discussed how Google processes PDFs for ranking purposes, how it indexes them for use in AI Mode and regular search, and why it is able to use links in PDFs the same as it does for regular HTML web pages.

New allegations surfaced that the Rank Math WordPress plugin has introduced a functionality that silently gives the company administrator-level permissions over WordPress sites. The access is triggered when a user is connected to a free Rank Math account and the user opens the plugin’s Help & Support section.

Rank Math has decided to temporarily pause their Support Agent because it did not clearly communicate that the agent would generate credentials that gave it access to their user’s WordPress website.
