There is no denying that Instagram is one of the biggest social media platforms out there today. With its use of hashtags and keywords, it is baffling that only now are we able to finally find content by searching for keywords with their newly upgraded search functionality. But later is better than never I suppose and it’s still a very nice addition, nonetheless.

Google Search Console is always getting updates, especially after closing the “old” search console. To make sure you don’t lose track of where the disavow link tool is located; the new location for the disavow tool is: https://search.google.com/search-console/disavow-links. The old link and location of the tool still works, but I would imagine that sooner or later; Google will redirect the old link to the new link anyway.
With recent link algorithm changes, people are asking how backlinks are affecting their websites and how Google is interpreting these backlinks. But overall; backlinks continue to make an impact on websites and their rankings despite some changes.
