@kcswebs No, it has been added several weeks ago and still not appearing

Hi,

I have a website where the favicon is not showing in the google mobile serps. It's appearing the default icon instead (world icon).

This is the tag I have place in the head section of the website:

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="/favicon.ico" />

The size of the favicon is 48x48 and it's appearing correctly in the browser tag.

I've checked that the google robot can crawl it and in the server logs I can see requests from the "Google Favicon" user-agent.

Has anyone had this same problem? Any advice?

Many thanks for the update.

To be honest, I've always found OSE less useful for backlink analysis than some other tools available on the market like Ahrefs or Majestic, but Link Explorer seems to have reached the quality level of these other tools.

Yes, you still need to include it, hreflang has nothing to do with html lang, in fact google ignores the html lang tags https://www.seroundtable.com/google-ignores-the-html-lang-attribute-22974.html

Hi,

You have to include a reference to the page itself.

You can also use the hreflang tags along with self-referencing canonicals.

Hi,

I don't think this is considered duplicate meta descriptions.

Fot example, if you take a look at what some popular websites for rent apartments are doing (Airbnb or homeaway,.. ), you will find that they use almost the same meta descriptions for rentals in different cities.

Hi,

According to what John Mueller has said in some different hangouts, AMP is not a ranking factor (at least for now).

If you a have a mobile-friendly website that currently load fast and is usable it is more than likely that you won’t see any boost in your rankings.

Hi,

75 characters.

“Choose shorter, human-readable URLs with descriptive keywords. We recommend keeping URLs under 75 characters. When possible, place content on the same subdomain to preserve authority. Optimal format: http://www.example.com/category-keyword/subcategory-keyword/primary-keyword.html.”

Hi,

I don’t think that’s the reason of a low DA, xmlrpc.php it’s a file that for security lots of websites block even in htaccess for prevent access.

Do you check the domain age? It's a new website?

A hostname filter is the best solution.
