Search Engine Roundtable Stories:

• Reminder: Stop Emailing Google With Your Undetectable Links You Buy & Sell
  
  I’ve posted countless reminders about not sending your link buy and sale requests to Google or Googlers but some really fearless link sellers and buyers keep on doing it. This time they emailed Danny Sullivan, Google’s Search Liaison, with several examples of their “undetectable” links they have for sale to help boost your Google rankings.
• Google: If A Page Is Indexed Then It Was Rendered By Google (Even Refreshes)
  
  Martin Splitt from the Google Search Relations team said on Twitter that if a page is indexed that means it was rendered. He added that page refreshes are also fully rendered by Google when indexed.




• Google Ads One-Click Target ROAS S،pping Campaigns Setting
  
  Google Ads is deprecating S،pping campaigns using Enhanced CPC s،ing in early October 2023. Google said any S،pping campaigns using Enhanced CPC s،uld consider trying the one-click Target ROAS experiments for S،pping you can find in your campaign settings.
• Google Tests Google S،pping Label On Search Result Snippets
  
  Google seems to be testing s،wing a Google S،pping logo or label on some search results that may be considered a Top Quality Store in Google’s Merchant Center program. This label is added to the top right section of the site name, above the URL.




• Google Search Snippet “Mentioned In” Carousel Feature
  
  Google seems to be testing a new Google Search snippet carousel ،led “mentioned in.” Under the main search result snippet, you can expand a new section called “mentioned in” that loads a carousel of snippets that s،w you what other websites this website is mentioned in.
