Is some of your Web Content getting Demoted?
Apologies for being the bearer of the sad news, but Google Search might be behind some content demotion on your website.
As per a Google spokesperson, if some of your content is poles apart from your main content, then it will be demoted.
This helps them maintain topical authority and a user-centric approach to Google’s SERPs or search engine result pages!
Many websites across the world are seeing a stark decline in the search rankings of a few of their sections, but it is not due to the Site Reputation Abuse Policy as per Google.
In short, only write topical content from now on…

How about an SEO-friendly Domain name?
Ever wondered if your domain name is SEO-friendly or not?
Well, here’s how you choose one:
- Domains like .Edu and .Gov carry a lot of weight; see if you can get them!
- Use as few keywords in your domain as possible.
- Use fewer hyphens.
- Do not start your domain with “1” or “A” just to list at the top; it doesn’t work anymore!
- Never do excessive branding, as if it gets phased out, you will lose 301 redirects.
- If 7/10 people, in general, can spell and write your domain name easily, then you are onto something.
Keep finding the right mix because it is a process and takes time.
If you already have a domain, then check its past; if it’s toxic, then go find yourselves a new identity!

Pune Researchers Solve the Hawking Radiation Puzzle
The late Dr. Stephen Hawking must be smiling in his grave as his Hawking Radiation Puzzle is now solved thanks to Pune’s researchers!
What is Hawking Radiation Puzzle?
It talks about the optical emissions from black holes.
Dr. Stephen Hawking theorized in 1974 that black holes don’t just gobble things away. They emit radiation as well.
But it wasn’t proven until now via proper physics calculation.
Scientist Mr. Naresh Dadich (Inter-University Centre for Astronomy and Astrophysics, or IUCAA) and Professor Rituparno Goswami (KwaZulu-Natal University) published their joint findings in the journal named Physical Review D (Letters).
- Black hole radiation is termed as Physician radiation.
- Heat and force generated by objects falling into black holes cause this radiation.
- This phenomenon doesn’t require quantum physics and can be explained by classical physics.
This means that Hawking radiation puzzle will not have to wait for quantum physics to evolve to get solved!
