Here is a recap of what happened in the search forums today, through the eyes of the Search Engine Roundtable and other search forums on the web.

Search Engine Roundtable Stories:

  • Bug: Google Knowledge Panel Image Goes Missing
    It looks like there is a recent bug with the Google knowledge panel images that some are actually missing. It was working fine a couple of hours ago, but right now, the images for many are simply blank. I assume it will be fixed soon.
  • Is Google's PageRank Algorithm Still Important For Google Search Rankings?

  • Amazing Interview With Matt Cutts About Google, Spam & The Community

  • Google Shows Two Featured Snippets For One Query
    Some folks are noticing that Google is showing two featured snippets for a single query. It is not the multifaceted featured snippets from earlier this year where Google would show you variations of featured snippets based on multiple ways to understand the query. But instead, showing two featured snippets for one way to understand the query.
  • Google Halloween - Error 404 - Costume Not Found
    Halloween is around the corner and Google is getting into the fun. Here is a picture from Yulia Chalyk from the Google Dublin office at a Google Halloween party wearing an awesome shirt. It says err
