We have fixed the issue causing the highlighted text to be obscured on Linux PDF readers.
About two years ago we
published our first SEO Starter Guide
, which we have since translated into 40 languages. Today, we’re very happy to share with you the new version of the guide with more content and examples.
Here’s what’s new:
Glossary to define terms throughout the guide
More example images to help you understand the content
Ways to optimize your site for mobile devices
Clearer wording for better readability
You may remember getting to see what Googlebot looks like in our “
