What’s New in SEO: Bing Organic Traffic Drops, Google Search Console Warnings
There were a slew of changes in the SEO world in July that are going to have implications for websites’ search engine rankings and organic traffic going forward.
For starters, many webmasters were seeing a drop in organic traffic from Bing, but a huge jump in Bing referral traffic. What’s up with that? About a week later, a Bing spokesperson said it had to do with the search engine’s migration to an HTTPS protocol, and that websites might see their drop in organic traffic continue as Bing tries to roll out encrypted search.
Also in SEO, Google began sending out warnings through the Google Search Console to websites that appear to be blocking their CSS and JavaScript coding from the search crawlers. If you’re blocking Google from seeing your website’s CSS and JavaScript, for whatever reason, now’s the time to fix it. Google initially hinted at this in October 2014, and the company is now getting serious about it. Google warned that any websites continuing to block their CSS and JavaScript assets will suffer, to some unidentified degree, in search rankings.
And the big news of July was an update to Google’s Panda algorithm. Look in the Marketing Blog Roundup section below to learn more about Panda 4.2.

July started out with a bang, literally, as we celebrated #IndependenceDay. On our social media accounts last month, we also ruminated about Mondays and Fridays, and all the emotions that come with those two days of the work week. Additionally, we looked back at the original version of our brand mascot, Max, and compared him to his modern-day self. Which image or post from July is your favorite?
