Google Algorithm Update July 2019
We are seeing potential signs of an incoming Google algorithm update for July 2019. Up to this point July has been a relatively quiet month in terms of Google activity.

What Are HTML Title Tags in SEO?
There are many factors important in allowing sites to rank effectively. Quality of content, user signals and backlink profiles are just some of these factors.
