- Use 301 Redirects to Inform Google of Your Preferred URL Structure

- URLs Appearing in the Side Bar Knowledge Panel of Search Results Will Be Classed as Position 10 or 11
- Links Within PDF Files Do Not Provide Any SEO Advantages but are Valuable for Usability
- Having a Reasonable Amount of HTML Comments Has No Effect on SEO
- GSC Live Test Doesn’t Always Reflect How Pages Are Rendered for Indexing Purposes
- No Need to Remove Internal Links on Non Canonical Pages as Google is Able to Figure Out Connections
