Google Search Console Performance Reports are Now Back to Normal

The Console performance reports are now back to normal, the search giant says. Google has committed to addressing the problems that some global sites experienced over the past few days.

Latest update: We’re sharing new stats from our dedicated team that provides a global representation of search queries, keyword frequencies, and the frequency at which internal links are up or down.

“It is important to understand that – just like any other site in this situation – google.com does not experience an increased (but not increased) link equity due to attributions from external links. However, we do understand the “link equity” effect some external links might have on conversion rates and believe any unintended returns from search sources can harm search metrics,” the Google spokesperson said.

Furthermore, Google recently replaced the current bid system with a more comprehensive bid system. This has increased the challenge of SEO-related bots for some sites.

Search Engine Land first reported the situation as Wordnik, a ranking intelligence platform. They tweeted about web links not telling were to be on the Google Dashboard.

Now, it seems all is well as you can see. The website Dashboard shows that all web links are working normally again.

“It’s important to understand that any change in rankings will depend on pages that have the content to drive traffic and the user’s behavior. Google’s rankings algorithm uses a generalized approach to determine each page’s alignment with the user’s query.

The assignment by Google’s PageRank system to a page generally is not solely determined by how often pages are elevated (published) or down ranked (streamed). The assignment is not determined by the volume of content upstream from the page.

A user’s navigation patterns, search history, web history, device capability, and other user characteristics. These influence the algorithm to assign a specific page a particular ranking,” Google says.
