Recent Google Play updates to version 42.1.27 give users the option to share location, through which the app store will offer suggestions according to their personal preferences.

Google has indicated that “there will be four elements in which you will receive personalized recommendations: books, applications, search results and offers.”

The suggestions are evident both in the application store and in “other applications that may have advertising or different content recommendation systems.”

In the recent update of Google Play appears the “Collections” feature, which has been designed to make it easier to discover content and applications consistent with the user’s local environment and that will allow you to find “region-specific offers and applications, which can be particularly useful if you are exploring a new place or on vacation.”

When you accept permission to access the location, the Google Play Store will display the options: allow access only while using the application, allow it only once, or not allow it at all.

If the user does not want to receive recommendations based on their location, they must deactivate the function in the Google Play settings. To do this, you must go to the profile photo in the upper right corner, select “Settings”, then “General”, and deactivate the “Use device location” option.

This Tuesday, June 25, the technology company Google eliminated continuous scrolling in searches from its desktop version to resume navigation based on displayed pages.

According to the company, what is sought is greater efficiency and speed in displaying the results, since those that the user has not requested are avoided.

Continuous, or infinite, scrolling will also soon disappear from mobile phones. For the moment, it was removed from the desktop version taking into account survey results in which some users indicated that it was not entirely satisfactory.

According to the specialized portal Xataka, users who still have continuous scrolling activated will soon stop seeing it and the page will “show a pagination bar that will allow us to access a numbered list of results pages.”

Apple is working on improving its own map, search, and online advertising services with the intention of getting rid of Alphabet (Google’s parent company) services from its mobile operating system.

According to statements from two former Apple engineers, the company holds a “grudge” against Google since it acquired the Android operating system and made it the primary software for mobile phones.

The company is directing a “silent war” against the search engine to advance in fundamental sectors such as maps, developing features that allow separating Google products from its iOS operating system.

One of the latest improvements is Business Connect, a feature that allows businesses to customize their information cards in the map service, so they can interact with users, share offers and other content. With this launch, it differentiates itself from Google by offering iOS users features that can only be obtained with this app and therefore this operating system.

The technology giant announced a new update called Link Spam Update, which will be deployed for the next two weeks, with the aim of fighting spam links. Some of these updates from Google will be affecting the positioning of the websites.

According to Duy Nguyen, Google Search Quality Analyst, the new update will be more effective in the fight against spam webs because it will incorporate an expansion of its reach, managing to identify and cancel this type of links through more website and in different languages.

Links are one of the factors used by the technology company to evaluate the relevance of the content for its positioning in the results. In addition, it is a means by which owners can monetize their websites or blogs, which is why maintaining proper use of these tools is very important.

This update supposes a “reinforcement in the search algorithm to be able to determine what kind of sites are carrying out this type of inappropriate behavior and, once identified, take action on these actions”, Nguyen explains.

He detailed the best practices to carry out the incorporation of affiliate links, sponsors or third-party publications, highlighted that affiliate links, whether generated manually or dynamically, should be qualified as rel = “sponsored.”

Sponsor links should also be specified by rel = “sponsored.” “These, along with affiliate links, comprise the main source of monetization within this strategy.” Regarding third-party publications, posts written on behalf of another website to which the user is directed, it is necessary to identify them with the value of rel = “nofollow.”

According to Nguyen, the pages that are identified will not suffer a penalty, such as its closure. However, their positioning will be corrected by disregarding the links presented, which could lead to a drop in the ranking.
