Google no longer highlighting keyword times in titles within rankings?
-
Anyone else seeing this? Or is it a test rather than full rollout?

LOL Ahh ok I see what you're saying. I think they did away with that a while ago. As of lately I've only seen them bold the searched KW's in the titles. Either way, they are certainly making changes!! Good stuff!

I was meaning bold.
I can go one further just so we can all reminisce, here's Google just over 10 years ago... http://imgur.com/ARW9BGS,GXdbYe7 and here's Google today ... http://imgur.com/ARW9BGS,GXdbYe7#1

Maybe I am misunderstanding...
I've never seen them highlighted, only bold. But can you provide a screenshot of what you are seeing in the SERPS? I'd love to see what you are talking about. Thank you!

Settings the same, tried incognito and searching as per usual via Chrome, just tried IE (can't believe I've had to use IE - oh well!) and the same, across two different IP addresses within our office too, no difference. We are UK based, there may be something in that - tried on Google.com though and no bold keywords!

Hi
No change for me, still have keywords highlighted in bold as always. Strange, have you changed any settings or that recently. Also have you tried on a few different browsers to compare?

Hey Bryan thanks for the response, to me the titles aren't highlighted on your screenshot - maybe your screenshot is a bit to unclear either that or I need glasses? If so not actually a major change - just looks weird after having seen that emphasis for 10 years?

What should I do if same content ranked twice or more on Google?
I have a Bangla SEO related blog where I have written article like "Domain Selection" "SEO Tools" "MOZ" etc. All the article has been written in Bengali language. I have used wp tag for every post. I have submit xml site map generated by Yoast SEO. However I kept "no index" for category. I know well duplicate content is a major problem for SEO. After publishing my content Google ranked them on 1st page. But my fear is that most of the content twice or more. The keywords are ranked by post, wp post tag and Archive. Now I have a fear of penalty. Please check the screenshot and please suggest me what to do. uRCHf yq7m2 rSLKFLG

Title Length Vs Keywords
Hello all, I've been talking with an SEO expert who convinced me to add more keywords to my titles of a section of our site which is updated with products daily. I can see the logic and I do prefer having these additional keywords. The problem now is in Moz it says we have over 2,000 pages with title elements that are too long, which is true they are all over the 70 character limit. Is this a problem SEO wise? Speaking to our SEO expert they said it's not ideal from a user point of view as you can't see the full title, but are we going to be upsetting Google by having 150+ character titles? Thanks!

Google changing the meta title for the homepage causing branding issues
A client of mine." Ross X Bute" current meta title is "Luxury designer clothing | Womens designer clothing" for the homepage. If i search for luxury designer clothing it will show the full meta title for the homepage. however if i search for the brand name.... "Ross & Bute" will show instead of the meta title. Whats the problem? Well my client a few month ago has decided to re brand the business to have a "X" to show instead of the "And". The rest of the site is branded with an "X" rather than "And" The URL www.rossandbute.com, so you can understand where google is getting this assumption from. Is there anyway to change this so it reads the the meta title in the SERPs? Thanks

Multiple Google+ Local (Google Place) under one email address
As a automotive dealership group, we have 15+ business listings set up under one Google+ local account. Google+ Local (Google Places) offers the ability to upload a data file for 10+ listings, so we've kept all listings under one login for efficiency. Is there any specific local SEO benefit or any general benefit at all to having each business listing set up under their own separate email address?
