Thanks for this info. I have bookmarked this page for future reference.
I compared what Google recommends and found they correlate exactly to what Jay has taught on his webinars. Good to know.
We must make it a habit to follow these practices every time we write and publish content. This is what levels the playing field.
Cheers.

Cheers.
