All right, welcome, everyone, to today's Google Webmaster Central SEO Office Hours. My name is John Mueller. I am a search advocate at Google in Switzerland. And part of what we do are these Office Hours hangouts where people can join in and ask their questions around their website and Google search. And we'll try to find some answers.  But as always, if any of you want to get started with your first question, feel free to jump on in now. Hey, John, just wanted to ask a quick question. Yeah, so as we see, Google adjusts the crawling according to the server capacity. So does Google set a discover traffic limit? Like, that website received that much of traffic from discover that its server can handle? No, I don't think so. I mean, we generally don't have any kind of search traffic limits, so that applies to discover as well. So it's not that we would say this website gets 1,000 visitors from search, and then we stop showing it. Thanks. Sure. Thank you. Because I mean, the ideal situation is we show a website that is really good for a search query, and we show it to everyone who comes because it's a good website. So it would be kind of weird to say, we think it's a good website, but we're not going to show it to people. OK, thank you. Thank you, John, because the discover traffic is sort of on-off-on-off thing. But we see there is a limit of impression that never achieved that traffic. So I thought there is a limit related to the search server handles. But OK, so thank you for that. I don't think we would tie it to kind of how fast we think the server is. At most, if we see that the server starts getting slower, then we will slow down our crawling. It's not that we will say, oh, we will slow down how much we show the website in search or in discover. So the crawling side might slow down, but the rest should remain normal. Thank you. Sure. All right. Any other questions before we jump on in? So quiet today. OK. Sure, go for it, Alberto. I think you're on mute. So can you hear me now? Yes. Yes, perfect. Here, Italy.  No problem. I have only two questions. I am a new buyer, OK? So the fourth question is how much is important the speed of a website? Because I make a test with the Lighthouse from Chrome and with the Geometrics, OK, and other tools. I discovered that if I have 100 points on Lighthouse, it's not always better than have a speeder website with the Geometrics. It's better how many times to load the first painful content, OK, another thing. First question, the second, the last question. I don't know why. I find a problem with the sitemap XML. On the Google Search Console, I have always a message, couldn't fetch, couldn't fetch, couldn't do it. But the file is OK. You can discover the file XML without any problem. Other tool says it's OK. From my point of view, can be a bug of Google that is a standing review, pending review, instead of couldn't fetch, OK? Thank you. Thank you for being here. Sure. So with speed, I think the confusing part in the beginning when you start looking at this is that all tools say something different. And it's not the case that there is one number that represents everything that users do on your website. So all tools that look at different metrics, they try to say, well, I think this number is very important for users, or this number is very important for users. And they will highlight that in the tools. And because of that, when you use different tools, you will see different results. And it's not the case that one tool is better than the other. It's just they look at your website in slightly different ways. So my recommendation there would be to use these tools to find the bigger problems within your website where you see your website is very slow and to focus on those. And at some point, you're going to have a fairly fast website, and it's going to be hard to find more problems. So that's something where you probably can't move on to other things. But I would not take these kind of speed testing tools as, I don't know, it's not a law or a speed limit that you have to reach or something like that, but rather use them to improve your website overall. With on Google side in search, we plan to use the core web vitals for speed. And those include, I think, three metrics that you can focus on. Some of the tools also include those three metrics now. But that's something that we plan to use, I think, in May, we said, starting in May. And it's something where I think, especially for a new website, it's useful to focus on it. But it's also important that you don't lose track of the bigger picture. You can make a very, very fast website if it's empty. But it's not very useful for users. So that's something where, especially with a new website, I would almost recommend make sure you have a really fantastic website and then work slowly to improve the speed so that it's something that is fantastic and also useful. I would not use speed as the first thing to focus on. I would really focus on your website and the content first. OK, thank you. And with the sitemap file, it's hard to say. If you want, you can copy the URL of the sitemap file into the chat here. And I can take a look afterwards. Or another idea might be to post in the Search Central Help Forum where other people can take a look. And oftentimes, there's something that they can find there which is useful to point out. But I always get a copy of the chat messages afterwards. So that's something where I can look that up afterwards and see internally if there's something on our side that's maybe stuck or something that you can change there. Usually, these kind of couldn't fetch errors are things that go away on their own. So it's not something where, if your website is working normally, sometimes we just can't fetch it. And then at some point, it works again. And we don't show you anything when it works. And then later, maybe we can't fetch it again. And then we say, oh, it's couldn't fetch again. But if we can pick the sitemap file up in between every now and then, then that's perfectly fine for us. OK. Thank you. Thank you, Tom. Thank you. OK. Let me run through some of the submitted questions. And if you have any comments or questions along the way, feel free to jump on in. And we'll probably have time for other questions towards the end, too. My question is, on my blog, I have added tags at the end of each internal link. For example, question mark footer, question mark home, question mark menu, question mark side mark, to better analyze and know from where they have clicked on an article. I think Google could consider duplicate content. And I've added in Search Console the crawl URL parameters footer, home, and sidebar to indicate that they are canonical. Is this the correct way? Or maybe not necessary, because Google knows that there is only one original page. So this is something that, theoretically, what would happen here is we would see these as separate URLs, and we would try to crawl these individually. So instead of one page, one URL that goes to an article, we suddenly have all of these different variations. And our systems would crawl these versions and recognize that they're the same and then essentially fold them together into one page. So that's something where, theoretically, it's not a great way to do this. For the most part, I think, especially with smaller websites, it's less of an issue, because we can crawl more than enough from a website to keep all of the content index. And that's perfectly fine. There are, however, two better approaches that you can do here to make it so that Google doesn't have to figure out which page is the right one. One is to use the internal anchor notation, like with a number sign, a hash sign, in the URL. And then the part, let me just maybe mute you, Alberto. So to use a number sign in the URL, and with the number sign in the URL, we will ignore everything that comes afterwards. And we will focus on the part in the beginning. So if you link to your article and then the hash sign or number sign and then footer, then you will still see that in your analytics when you track that. But search will focus on the first part of the URL. So that's one option you can do. The other is if you're using Google Analytics, or probably all of the other analytics platforms as well, you can also tag links individually and let the analytics side know that these are specific locations, for example. And then you can track that individually like that without it actually being visible to search. So those are the two approaches that I would take there. In general, I think it's fantastic to better understand how users navigate through your website. So I would recommend keeping this kind of tracking going, especially if it helps you to understand your website and which parts you can improve. And instead of using question marks, use a different mechanism that lets us focus on the main URL and you still get that data. Is brand search a ranking factor? How does Google measure website authority? We don't really have something specific like brand search as something that we would call a ranking factor. One of the reasons I tend to mention it every now and then as something that you can focus on is that if someone is searching for your brand, then essentially your website is the primary one that is relevant. If someone is explicitly looking for, I don't know, the website that you've been working on and it has a fairly unique name, then we can understand that this user is exactly looking for that website. And then your website will definitely be ranking there. Or I mean, as long as nothing goes wrong. And as long as your brand is something that we can clearly recognize. So the clearly recognized part sometimes comes into play in the questions here in that people will say, oh, my brand is Best Insurance Company. And then they assume that if someone searches for Best Insurance Company, we will show their website automatically. And that's not the case, because those words are essentially normal words as well. But if you have a brand that is fairly unique, that people can search for specifically and we can understand that they're really looking for your website, they will find your website. So it's not something where I would say it's a ranking factor per se. But if you can build up that awareness for your brand, then you have this kind of almost guaranteed amount of traffic in that people explicitly search for your website and then they go to your website, which otherwise would be people search for your general topic. And maybe your website will rank there and they'll be able to go to your website. So that's something where I think it's almost like a parallel track of getting traffic to your website. So that's kind of why I suggest looking into this every now and then. How does Google measure website authority? We don't have any kind of public documentation and there's probably no simple way to just measure authority. I don't think that would be that trivial. What's the best approach when creating a new site? Getting the buzz out and focusing on acquiring a loyal user base, finding an intent behind a query that is not served well by the top result and creating the best content for that, any other tips? I think those are all good approaches that you can take. I think, especially if you're in the situation where you don't exactly know what you want to make your website about, then it is always worth the time to really take a lot of time to figure out what topics would really be relevant. And on the one hand, that's kind of based on what topics you have a lot of knowledge on, where you can bring kind of your existing experience and knowledge in. And on the other hand, it can be based on things like where are some holes that I can fill? Where can I tell that people are really keen to find information, but there isn't really great information out there yet. And with my background, my experience, maybe I can bring in some insights there. So those are definitely some approaches. In general, I would also consider making sure that you have something that you can build out for the long run, not something where you say, well, I can write about, I don't know, sparkly running shoes because nobody else is writing about it. But then kind of expanding from there is very hard. And the next topic might be, I don't know, private jets or something like that. And kind of connecting those things is really hard. Whereas if you can find a topic where you know you can bring a lot of information in and that you can grow out over time, then that gives you a little bit of a more stable base to work on. So that's kind of the direction I would take there. With regards to getting the buzz out and getting a loyal user base, always. I think that's a really fantastic approach. I think having users who love to go to your website, who recommend your website to other people, be it through links on their blogs or just recommending them in social media or whatever, I think that's always a fantastic thing to build on. And it's also a way of quickly getting feedback from people in that if you know these people are coming back regularly, then you can ask them, what am I doing well? What am I not doing so well? So those are definitely good approaches. I don't think there's one simple approach to making a website that will just work for everyone. And with that, it's something like, there are lots of different ways to do it, and you can find the angle that works well for you. The difficult part, I think, with new websites nowadays is that there are just so many websites out there already. So really finding that niche where you can provide something unique and valuable can sometimes be a bit challenging. And also for the more commercial topics, there are a lot of very well-established, well-monetized websites out there already, where it will be hard to get it. So if you want to put together a bookstore and you say, oh, I will make it online because, I don't know, I have the best science fiction book collection of anyone else, then opening a bookstore online, that's going to be really challenging because there are some really strong competitors out there already. Let's see. I want to start a new website. Oh, I think it's the same person. But I want to move some of the best content from my previous site that was hit by a core update in the past. How do I do that in a safe way? I don't want to transfer the bad website historic signals to the content from the old website. So I think there are generally two approaches here that you can take. For the most part, if the content is good content, then I would just take that content and move it to a new website. If you think that that's really what you want to do and moving it to a new website would be real one redirecting from the old URLs to the new ones so that we can pass some of those signals over. Whereas if you don't want to be associated with the old website, then you essentially need to create new content. So if you just copy and paste the whole content and put it on a new website, then we will see that and recognize, oh, this is the same content as the other website here has. So we will try to pick a canonical between these two, or we will say these pages are kind of equivalent and pass those signals anyway. So if you want to be associated with the old website, you might as well just redirect. If you don't want to be associated with the old website, then you really need to create something new. I was wondering if Google is going to penalize us for using a pop-up for a limited time, say for a week or so. The brand team wants to run a survey on site. I don't think we would penalize a website for anything like this. So in particular, the web spam team has other things to do than to penalize a website for having a pop-up. There are two aspects that could come into play. On the one hand, we have the un-mobile, the policy of the intrusive interstitials. So that might be something to kind of watch out for that you don't keep it too long, or kind of like you show it to everyone all the time. And with that policy, it's more of a kind of like a subtle ranking factor that we can use that to adjust the ranking slightly if we see that there is actually no useful content on this page when we load it. So that's something that could come into play, but that's more something which would be like a temporary thing. If you have this survey on your site for a week or so, then during that time, we might pick up on that signal, we might respond to that signal, and then if you have removed it, we can essentially move on as well. So it's not that there's going to be a lasting effect there. The other thing I think, I don't know, I forgot, I think another aspect that you probably want to watch out for is if you're showing the pop-up instead of your normal content, then we will index the contents of the pop-up. If you're showing the pop-up in addition to the existing content, which sounds like the case, if it's really a pop-up, then we would still have the existing content to index, and that would kind of be OK. So I ask to follow up on that because there is actually like one American paper that literally every day a pop-up comes to sign onto its newsletter. You can see like a little of the text below and under, but you have to click it every time. And I've also actually wondered about like, first of all, I wonder, are they really getting that many people on a daily basis to sign up to this newsletter compared to what this might be doing negatively to them? Is that something that would be a negative? Because it is actually extremely annoying. Yeah, yeah. That sounds like something that we would pick up on. One of the things there is that we focus on the mobile version of the site, and we only use that in the mobile search results. So that's something where if they're not showing it on mobile, then maybe we wouldn't be picking up on that. But if it's on mobile as well, then that would definitely fall into the category of intrusive interstitials. And we'd say this is kind of like something where we would slightly demote the website in search. Sometimes the tricky part there is with these slight demotions. It's not the case that we'll remove the site from search or we'll kind of like move it to page 100 or something like that. But if it's really relevant content, then maybe we'll still show it on the first page of the search results just not as highly as it could be. Um, yeah. Alberto? OK, can you hear me? Yes. Excuse me for my English always because, OK. I have a question. With the website, my website is first in the Google search in the first page. But I discover that it's made in WordPress that if I raise the final S of HTTP, OK, I can reach two versions of the same page with SS secure and without. I found that there is a solution changing the HTTP access with a permanent 301 redirection, OK. But I am a little afraid to lose ranking with the permanent redirection. So it's better to let them think like it is with the two versions of URL that Google decide, which is the canonical and which is not, OK, without making any redirection, OK, or for better authority of canonical URL is better make the permanent redirection 301 to access, OK. I know it's my excuse me, but OK, thank you. Yeah, yeah, it's clear. I would definitely do the redirect. So you will not lose any value if you do the redirect there because it's within the same website. So I would do the redirect because it's the clean approach to setting up the HTTPS version of a website. So I would just set that up. I think with a redirect, the one place where I would watch out for is if you're doing a site move, moving from one domain to another domain, then that's something where we have to process that and it can get complicated and things like that. But with HTTP and HTTPS, it's perfectly fine. There is nothing fancy or tricky for us about that. So I would just do the redirect. OK, thank you. Thank you, John. John, may I add something? Sure. Alberto, also, keep in mind and be careful not to generate any redirect chains. Choose a specific version with or without WWW so you can use this version as an official URL of your website and make sure that all of the other versions with WWW, without WWW or with WWW, the HTTP version, including the HTTPS with or without, depends on what you decide to go with, are pointing to the final URL you have decided to go with. Sorry for this a little bit difficult explanation, but it's usually hard to explain this without any examples. OK, thank you. I will provide you some examples actually over the chat. Sorry about this, but Alberto, I find another information from the official page of the Pugin and they give you a recommendation to change this option of the Pugin, to stop it and to change with another one. This is from the official page of the Pugin, so you can follow my last comment. Arilano, there are some books with this plugin. In case to the set map, you're talking about set map, right? Yep. Yeah, OK. Sorry about that, John. Yeah, sorry for that. So it's already parallel discussion. OK, cool. Fantastic. OK, let me jump to the next question. I have a YouTube channel with 9,000 subscribers, and I also have a blog. Sometimes I write a blog post and use the same text I create YouTube videos for. Is this content duplication because Google search can understand videos? I'm saying that because my two blog posts are crawled, but they're not ranking on Google. Even when you put that link of the blog post in Google search, it's not there. It's crawled two months ago. My other blog posts where I didn't create a video, they're ranking without a problem. Could you recommend what to do in this case? Should I use a canonical tag or delete the blog post or the video? So first of all, we don't do kind of text analysis of the videos and then map them to web pages. So if your video has the same content as your blog post, it's still something different. People sometimes go to Google with the intent to read something, and sometimes they go to Google with the intent to watch something or to listen to something. And those are very different things. We would not say the text in this video is exactly the same as a blog post. Therefore, we don't show either of them, or we only show one of them. So if you have a video that matches your blog post, I think that's perfectly fine. That's a great way, I think, to kind of like spread your information in different channels. So I would definitely not stop doing that. I would not take the video down or take the blog post down. If the blog post is not ranking in Google, then that would be very specific to the blog post and not specific to the video blog post combination. Also, with regards to duplicate content, if you had the same content in textual form on your website where it's clearly duplicate content, then what would happen there is we would just pick one of those versions to show in Google Search. It's not the case that we would say, oh, this website has some duplicate content. We will not show it at all in Google. But rather, we'll say there are two versions here. We will pick one of these to show, and we will just not show the other one. So that's something where even when we do recognize duplicate content, it's not the end of the world. It's really just a matter of us saying, we don't want to show the same thing to users multiple times in the search results. So we will pick one, and we will show that one. I found these lines in a Google Webmaster Central blog related to AMP. AMP will no longer be necessary for stories to be featured in the top stories on mobile. It will be open to any page. Is this already live in the Google search results for the news section, or when will it be implemented from Google? I'm pretty sure at the moment this is not live. As far as I understand, this is a change that is going to happen when we launch the page experience as a ranking factor, which is planned early for May 1. So that's something where it's not live at the moment. It's still coming. Some noise back here. Let me just mute you for a moment. I'm a newbie, and I don't have any idea how to index my website in Google, how to rank my site, what is a sitemap, how do I submit a sitemap. Yeah, lots of questions here. My recommendation here would be to go off and read a lot of information first. So especially if you're new to the web and you have different ideas that you want to publish and you don't really know about the technical details, I would recommend going through some of the SEO starter guides. So we have an SEO starter guide that is fairly long and comprehensive. Lots of information in there. It can take a while to go through. It also covers sitemap files, how to get indexed, how ranking works a little bit. There are also other SEO beginner guides out there which have a lot of really useful information which give sometimes a little bit of a less Google-focused view, which I think is also great to have in the beginning. And I would go through these different guides to try to figure out what is all involved with going online and being available in search. For the most part, I think the nice aspect is for the most part, you can use any system that is out there that makes websites and it will just work well in search. So all of the platforms that are commonly used, be it something like Blogger from Google or if you're using Wix or Squarespace or whatever you have, then essentially those are fairly well tuned already for Google so that you don't have to do anything special to make them work. There are lots of things you can do additionally if you want to focus a little bit more on search. But for the most part, all of these platforms will just work for you. So that's kind of my approach there is, on the one hand, like dive in and try things out. On the other hand, there are lots of these starter guides that help to give you the basics and some of the starting information there. And just as a word of warning, there is like an endless amount of information that you can go through afterwards. So even if you go through the starter guides, it's not the case that you will have seen everything but there are just so many details that you can focus on if you want to. My M.dot website shows primary caller is desktop, but I want to switch to smartphone. What should I do in this case? It was smartphone before, but it shows desktop recently. Why did it happen? I don't know. So I mean, why it happened? I don't know why you would see that. So in general, our systems automatically switch to mobile-first indexing when we find that a website is ready for that. And if a website currently is still with the desktop crawler, then there would be two reasons for that. On the one hand, it could be a part of an experimental control group, which we always keep for these bigger changes. Usually that's a fairly small group, though. And the other part could be that our systems still think that something on your website is not quite ready for mobile-first indexing. And that could be something like you have more images on your desktop version than you have in your mobile version, something along those lines or structured data. Like we have documented various of these things already. And that's something where kind of towards the date that we have specified for when we would switch everything over, which I think is March or April, I forgot. Then towards that date, we will start probably shifting websites over, even if there are still issues. So my recommendation there would still be to kind of double check to make sure that you have everything covered. And if you're sure that everything is covered, then just let it be, let it shift over on its own. Sometimes our systems are confused by things that you might not care about. So that's an aspect that sometimes comes into play when I look at some of these websites. For example, if you go to a desktop page, you will often have related articles on the bottom. And sometimes these related articles have a thumbnail image associated with them. And on a desktop, you might have, I don't know, maybe five or six of these related articles on the bottom. Whereas on mobile, if you go to the mobile version of the page, you might just have one related article on the bottom with one thumbnail image. And then our systems would look at that and say, well, on desktop, you have six of these images on mobile. You just have one. Clearly, you're not providing the full content on mobile. And as a site owner, it's like, technically, that's correct, but you probably don't really care about that. Maybe those thumbnail images are not the critical part of your website. So it's not something where you'd say this is really a problem for me. And a lot of the cases I looked at kind of fall into that category where people make the website work well on mobile, but it just doesn't have exactly the same setup as on desktop. And then our systems say, oh, it's not ready. And actually, you as a site owner might say, well, it's good enough. It's what I want. And as we move towards the deadline there, then it will shift over anyway. And also, there is no ranking effect associated with the mobile-first indexing change, so it's not that you will rank better or higher if a website is in mobile-first indexing. What will it be the case if it's the opposite, that if it's not mobile index ready? Is that a negative? So we would not see that as a ranking effect, but we would perhaps just not have all of the content. So if the primary images are actually missing on mobile and those are images that you used to get a lot of traffic for from image search, then suddenly we would not have those images anymore and we wouldn't be able to show the website. So it's not a change in ranking. We don't have the full content, so we can't index it or rank it for that content. How would it be when the website is only partly on an MDOT site and on the WWW, there's a part is responsive, a part is not mobile-friendly, but is not covered by the MDOT and the other part is not mobile-friendly on the WWW, but has a MDOT coverage? So the system that we have to switch between or to switch a website to mobile-first indexing would look at the domain overall and we would try to aggregate across the domain to figure is it ready or not. And we would switch it over based on that. But for indexing, we do that on a per-page basis. So if some pages are on the MDOT and they have the full content there, then we will pick that up. If some are responsive on the WWW version, then that's the mobile version that we would use for indexing there. So it's like for the switch over, we might be kind of confused if some things are ready and some things don't look ready. But for the actual indexing afterwards, probably that would be okay. And how do you know or how would we know if we are in this experimental control group? I don't think you would know. Okay. Yeah. I mean, we don't specify that externally and it's not something that is really large. So usually it's something like one-tenth of a percent or something like that where we just hold things back a little bit so that we can make sure that when we compare, it looks correct. And how would the effect be on parts from Google Like Discover or Google News in such a mix-up constellation? I don't think there would be any difference there. So we would also do this on a per-page basis. And as far as I know, Google News and Discover, they both are based on the same indexing that we use for web search. So that should just be fine. The one aspect I don't know about Google News is how when you're within the Google News corpus, I think you have to specify your website or something like that to get registered for Google News. I don't know how they would handle like a mix of WWW and MDOT. My guess is they can deal with that properly because it's been like that for a long time now, but that might be something to check with the Google News folks. Can we some parts check how the Mobile First index is dealing with the page when we are not ready yet? How do you mean? Well, if I'm checking several tools like the live URL testing or also the core web vitals or mobile testing of Google, they always have a reference like the alternate tag for the MDOT site. And it's a bit confusing if they are now dealing with the MDOT site for the check or with the WWW as the desktop version. You know, I don't know. I think in a case like that, I would still check both versions if you can check that manually, but kind of make sure that when you're testing things for indexing to focus on the mobile version. So that's, I think it's always a bit tricky with WWW and MDOT versions because you do have kind of two separate templates that you need to check. But for indexing, we will focus on the MDOT version. For users, you still have to focus on both of those versions. So especially things like speed, that's something where you would test kind of the desktop version and the mobile version separately. I think in Search Console, we also show that information separately with regards to speed. So that's something where doing both is a good idea. But for indexing, I would really focus on the mobile version. Okay, thank you. Sure. Hi, Alberto. Hello. I have a question that is very nice for my point of view. I have disabled, disabled, okay, on my website, analytics, Google Analytics. Why? And I don't know if it's correct or not, okay? Because I am a fanatic of speed website, okay? I love the speed website without making only an HTML website with the WordPress, okay, speed with the WordPress. I found that with analytics, okay, ranking is not better than without because there is a time to transmit data between Google and website. This with the Google Tag Manager, too. It is with the Facebook Pixel Manager, too, okay? So I prefer to don't catch data with analytics but has a more speed website because Google in his metrics doesn't recognize that we have analytics, okay? And so your website is one second and a half lowest because it is analytics. So you are worse than another side that is more speed, do you know? So this is the question, okay? Thank you. Yeah. So I think first of all, we don't do anything special for analytics. It's not the case that we would say, oh, you use Google Analytics, that's fine.  If it's slow, it's slow. And that's something where sometimes it makes sense to look at the different embedded things that you have like analytics, like ads, like Tag Manager, whatever, and to figure out which parts you really need for your websites and which parts you can say, well, I don't need them. I prefer to make my website a little bit faster and to kind of say, well, maybe I don't have this data. So that's something which you kind of have to decide. But sometimes there are also ways that you can implement analytics in a way that is very fast. So that might also be worthwhile to check out maybe in the analytics help forum to see what is the fastest way to implement analytics. Another approach that I've seen is that people take a sample of the traffic and they just measure that where they can say, I will measure every 100th visitor with analytics and everyone else, I will not measure like that, which means that on average, you still have a little bit of data with regards to how people go through your website, which parts of your website are useful. But for the most part, your users are able to get through very quickly. So those might be some approaches there. I think there's a lot of value in analytics and in understanding how users interact with your website. So I would try to find a way to keep this data and to be able to use that data to help your website get better, rather than to just say, oh, I will not track anything so that I can be one millisecond faster than everyone else. Because in the end, you need to find things that you can improve on your website and you need to constantly be improving your website and you might be a little bit faster today, but if you keep your website the way that it is, because you don't have data on which parts people find useful, then other people will make websites that maybe are a little bit slower, but are a lot more useful and then maybe we will show those websites. So that's a balance you have to try to find. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. All right, let me just maybe grab one or two more questions from the list and then we can do some more live as well. I'm having a hard time with Google marking my website URL as noindex. It takes forever to Google to recheck my website and most of the time I'll get back the same report. How can I change the URL mark noindex so that I can finally start selling stuff? Google is making it really hard for my website to be recognized. So I'm not 100% sure how you mean this with regards to Google marking my website noindex. So usually noindex is something that you have within your website, maybe a setting in the website system that you have where you're actively telling us not to index specific pages. And removing that is something you have to remove on your website. And when we recognize that it's gone for individual pages, we will start showing those pages in search. So that's something where you, I suspect you still need to find that setting in your content management system to change that out. I think you're here in the hangout as well, right? Yes, yes I am, right here. Can you give me a little bit more detail on what you're seeing? Well, I just got started. I'm from Switzerland as well. And I just created a second website. I had a lot of problems with the duplicates as well because I needed parts of my first website to be on the second one as well. I was able to change those all up but at the moment I'm having a hard time with the noindex. I'm crawling to websites and I'm still waiting for it. My boss said it usually takes a while. I'm just very impatient and I really want to sell a lot of stuff on my website but I can't really get up there and the ratings at the moment. Okay, I would suggest maybe going to the Search Central Help Forum and specifying your site there and explaining a little bit what issues you're seeing there because my suspicion is that there's just something small that you need to change in your setup and then it will work with regards to suddenly being indexed and showing up in rankings that does take a bit of time and especially with regards to rankings if it's a competitive area where other people are selling similar things then it takes time, it takes a lot of work. You have to find different ways to get the word out as well. That could be maybe doing some advertising in the beginning to drive kind of that initial amount of traffic there and to find maybe there are other creative ways that you can get people to kind of find your website and discover the cool things that you have there but the folks in the Help Forum are very good at spotting a lot of the kind of things that hold the website back and that's probably a good way to start. I think Dito and Nikolai are also active in the Help Forum so I'm sure if you post a link here in the chat then they'll also be like jumping on it as well but I think especially in the beginning it's useful to get feedback from a lot of different people and the Help Farms are a great place for that. It's not the case that everyone will have perfect feedback and you will just rank number one if you follow all of that advice but it gives you some things to think about. Okay, perfect, thank you very much. Sure. All right, I think we're kind of running low on time so maybe I'll just switch to more questions from you all and I'll also stick around a little bit longer after the recording if any of you want to hang around a bit more. I have one question to the m.sites and the mobile first crawling. How important is it for the mobile first crawler that all sites are mobile friendly? Is it a problem still having problems there or issues there? For mobile first indexing we don't care if it's mobile friendly or not. So that's something, if the text is on the page if you have to zoom in and kind of find it, it's on the page. It's for indexing, that's perfectly fine. It's only for ranking afterwards that we would use the mobile friendliness as a ranking factor but for indexing, for mobile first indexing it doesn't matter at all. So in particular, those very old websites that are built with tables, you can look at them on mobile, you have to zoom in, all of that. But they work perfectly fine on mobile first indexing because they have exactly the same content on mobile as they have on desktop. You have to zoom in, it's hard to find, but it's all there. Great, thank you. Can I add one thing here? Sure. So mobile first indexing is technical thing and mobile friendliness is user behavior thing. This is why you are saying it will not have impact of whether it is zooming out or it's calling down kind of thing. Pretty much, yeah. Mobile first indexing is the HTML page, the text on the page and mobile friendliness is more about usability. Thanks. Hi, John. Hi. Hi. Hi. We have a website and on our website there is a particular section that we would like to use in the news section related to our industry. So I just wanted to know that apart from the normal activities that we do, like putting content, do we need to do something extra so that Google show these news items? In Google news also apart from normal web results, like we need to register a website somewhere for Google news. My understanding is you still need to set up the website in the news publisher center, but I don't have any details on the Google news side. So that's something where for normal web search, for things also like the top stories, those kind of things, we don't need anything special, but particularly for Google news, they do need a little bit more information and I believe that's all in the Google news publisher center. So you need to check that out. Sure, no problem. Thank you. Hi, John. Can I come in? Sure. Okay. So I have two questions related to news publishers, right? So basically number one is the best practices to syndicate content for a news publisher, alerting Google, which one is original content, does actually means there are some tagging rules there, right? With the health support everywhere, right? So does actually this means whenever actual tagging will help original content to rank over the syndicated content that actually works or does it have a different setup or rule? I mean for syndicated content for a news publisher, that's one question. And other part is the Google Discover visibility for the news publishers, right? Against the Google Broadcore series of updates, right? That's two questions. Okay, so for syndicated content, we do have the rel canonical that we recommend, where if you're syndicating content from another website, we recommend using the rel canonical to tell us what the original source is. So that helps us to understand the connection between these two. However, it's not always the case that we will only show the original source. A lot of times it makes sense to show different versions of the same content. So in particular, this is something that you might care about if you have the original source and you syndicate your content out to other websites. Then you have to assume that we will index all of those other versions as well. And it's possible that we will show one of these other versions above your website. I don't know how that is handled in Google News, but at least in web search, it's certainly possible that if you syndicate the content out, then those syndicated content copies could show in the search results. And in some cases, they may show above your content. So that's something where if you're saying this is a critical problem, it should never happen for our website, then you might need to reconsider how you syndicate your content. In many cases, that's less of an issue. And you would say, well, the important part is that the information gets out, that maybe we get mentioned as a source, that that's kind of included there as well. And then the syndicated content might be visible in search, maybe even above your results. But it still attracts attention to your website because you're kind of the primary source of that information. So balancing those two sides is something that is almost on your side. You need to make that choice. Do I want to syndicate or do I not want to syndicate? All right. All right, fair enough. And the second part was about the Discover thing, right? The news publisher and the broadcast series update. Is there any relation? Because we are seeing a lot of fluctuations in Discover traffic, right? Whenever there's a bit or fluctuation or maybe some vulnerabilities around the rankings and others. So is there any relation of it? Yeah, so we do use a number of the same quality algorithms in Discover as we use in web search. So when a broad core update happens in web search, it's very common that you would also see changes in Discover as well. So that's certainly not totally unrelated. I mean, we see Discover as almost a part of Search. So it's not something that we would say is completely independent and uses completely separate algorithms and everything. It does include a lot of similar things. Also, the content, of course, is based on what we call an index for web search. It's not a separate index or anything like that. All right, fair enough. Thank you. OK, let me pause here. I'll pause the recording. And if any of you want to hang around a little bit longer, you're welcome to do so. Thank you all for joining. Thanks for submitting so many questions and asking so many questions along the way. I hope you all found this useful. It's always one of the highlights of the week to kind of get some direct feedback from people and, I don't know, almost see people in person. It's like such a weird thing. So thanks for jumping in and hope to see you all in one of the future Hangouts again. Thank you. Thanks a lot. Bye. Bye-bye.


So, warm welcome to the 12th lecture on the subject of digital signal processing and its applications. We continue in this lecture with our discussion of the discrete time Fourier transform, its properties and we also establish examples of some discrete time Fourier transforms. We also establish when we do not have a discrete time Fourier transform and that will lead us to another transform that is more generalized. So, let us recall the property that we had briefly discussed in the previous lecture, namely where we looked at the multiplication of two sequences and find out what happened in the Fourier domain. We also saw something very interesting when we evaluated that expression at 0 frequency and we were discussing that and coming to some conclusions from that point. So, let us recall what we were doing the previous time. We saw that if you have two sequences x 1 and 2 both of which have discrete time Fourier transforms capital X 1 and 2, then X 1 n, X 2 n has the discrete time Fourier transform 1 by 2 pi integral from minus pi to pi x 1 lambda x 2 omega minus lambda d lambda which is essentially like a convolution of capital X 1 and capital X 2 save for the fact that this convolution is evaluated only on one period. I must here emphasize that this is commutative, so of course, X 1 n, X 2 n is the same as X 2 n, X 1 n that is obvious. It is clear that this can also be X 1 n, X 2 n also has the DTFT minus pi to pi 1 by 2 pi x 2 lambda, so it does not matter which one you fix and which one you move. This is not a very important observation when you have very similar DTFTs but there are situations where it might be preferable to fix one of the DTFTs and move the other and therefore you have full freedom which one to fix and which to move that is what is being emphasized here. Anyway, we had taken the specific case of omega equal to 0 and we came to a very interesting conclusion.  Now we were trying to interpret this conclusion and of course we had an easy interpretation for the left hand side. The left hand side is the dot product or the inner product of the sequences X 1 n and X 2 n. The point was to interpret the right hand side and of course not just to interpret the right hand side but also to give it you know a corresponding meaning to bring parity and congruity in the meaning on both sides. You see on the right hand side you have a product of corresponding points on the discrete time Fourier transform. Of course the second one is complex conjugated like it is for the sequence here. You multiply the sequence by each point of the sequence by the complex conjugate of the corresponding point on the other sequence and you add up over all such points. Here you multiply corresponding points on the discrete time Fourier transform that is you multiply the point on one discrete time Fourier transform by the complex conjugate of the other and you integrate because here the variable omega is continuous, it is not discrete.


Okay, we're back at day two of Node Summit. I'm John Furrier, the founder of siliconangle.com, siliconangle.tv, and we're proud to be at Node Summit. For day two of live interviews, wall-to-wall coverage, yesterday, day one, we interviewed. We've got about 20, 25 interviews of great entrepreneurs, developers, executives, really the thought leaders, and the folks really building this new community. And they're all geeks, but they're all in business to make money and do some good for the world in the development world and build great apps. Day two is a little bit different here at Node Summit. This is what they call the Node Jam. And Node Jam is where all the startups who are really playing with Node and really commercializing some of their ideas and visions into product. And so we've got great teams of people, great product opportunities, and the social community, if you will, is all here. And it's really exciting, and I'm proud to be here with theCUBE. theCUBE is siliconangle.tv's flagship telecast. We go out to the events, and we set up our HD studio. We talk to the most important, smartest people we can find, and we don't care if they're entrepreneurs, developers, executives, if they got knowledge, we want to extract that and share that with you. And we're proud to be here. And it's going to be exciting. So today's going to be pretty much a laid back, pretty much a chill environment. We're going to talk candidly with the entrepreneurs. What are they working on? And some of the hot trends and products we're seeing. So our first guest is Matt Rainey, who is the co-founder, founder of Voxer. And I'm joined with Clint Finley, who's managing editor of our new devopsangle.com, our section on siliconangle, going into the node world and understanding the operational and engineering side of it. Clint, welcome back. Matt, welcome to theCUBE. Thanks. First time in, good to have you.  So let's just jump right in. You have the company Voxer. It's been very popular. As they say, you know, Naval from AngelList is here. He talks about social proof. You have some social proof. You have people using your app. So tell us about Voxer for the folks out there. What are some of the product features? And then share with us just some highlights of the success that you've had just recently. Sure, sure. So Voxer is, you know, it's, we call it a walkie-talkie. And it's sort of, we're trying to make a modern, like more useful way to do like walkie-talkie kind of behaviors. Like the issue that we're coming up against, now that we have these mobile phones everywhere, like everybody's got a mobile phone. It's like, you can have a phone call anytime you like, but do you actually want that? Like increasingly no. People find phone calls are, you know, they interrupt them. It's kind of a pain when you get a phone call. And so what we're trying to do is get sort of the etiquette of text messaging, but let you use your voice to do that. So it doesn't interrupt, but if you still want to be live, you can still be live. And it sounds complicated, but I mean, it's just like a walkie-talkie that works better. Before we get into some of the technical coolness of what you guys are doing with Node and everything else, which we're going to go deep dive in. Clint and I were playing with your app on Monday night, and it's really cool. And for folks out there who want to try to understand this product, it's basically a text message with voice. And for the older folks out there like me, who know about Nextel, and you see people push to talk, and then you can just chat with a talk like at a construction site or when you had people in the service business, that that was a really great product. Nextel pioneer, that kind of push-to-talk concept. Here it's a little bit different. You're doing essentially a voice message, that's a text message kind of thing to oversimplify it. That's correct.  Like it's not transcription. It's not converting your voice into text, but it's letting you use your voice with the social etiquette of text. Like it's not interrupting you, but like voice is really nice. It conveys nuance and subtlety and just character and emotion that you just can't get with text. And so people do want to use their voice, we think. And not just always type everything. Voice is a useful way to talk to people, and it just doesn't fit in the sort of modern, kind of with the etiquette of modern mobile telephony. I mean, we know, we have theCUBE, and we have obviously audio and video, but I get taken out of context a lot of my blog posts when I do a lot of tongue-in-cheek and people are like, what are you saying? Get offended. So voice gives you that natural feeling of that. And the other thing that Clint and I were talking about when we were talking to some of the developers on that Monday night meetup, Thirsty Bear, was a lot of the times you would get hyped up in products in Silicon Valley and Draloprison. It's like an echo chamber of hype and fun sometimes. But really, when you hear average people say, oh, I love this app, it's amazing. So Clint, share your story about your friend who kind of showed you and said, you got to get on this. Oh yeah, yeah, I have a friend who, well, I've been hearing about Boxer for over a year now because you guys are using Node.js and RIOC and so the stuff that I've been following. But then I started hearing about it from my friends. You're non-technical. Yeah, from non-technical people. And yeah, they're fanatical about it. Because I had known about the app, but I had never actually even downloaded it. And so now suddenly I'm hearing not from Node.js evangelists, but from print reporters and from airline travel workers. Oh, this is great, I love to use this app while I'm driving because I don't have to look at it and I don't have to touch it. So yeah, it's definitely gaining a lot of traction outside of the tech community. And I understand you've hit some milestone numbers recently.  So it's super great. So I just, ah. While you're happy now, tell us orically the numbers. It's definitely, well, here's what you can see. You can look in the, you can go to the iOS app store and you can look in the social networking category and you can see which has the usual suspects and you can see which position we are in and which position we've been in for almost a month, which is to say above Facebook. And I'm not to say, I mean, everybody's on Facebook, like no surprise there, but the surprise is we have been above Facebook for a long time and like lots and lots of people are downloading this app in this country and around the world. It's very cool, congratulations. I think you got lightning in a bottle and I think when we look back on this CUBE interview, we'd be like, wow, that company really went on a rocket ship. Remember us small guys when you're famous. But let's talk about the team. Let's talk about you guys up there and you guys see your write code and you're really happy but seeing the results manifest itself. Talk about the team that you guys have up within Voxer and talk about some of the talent you have. Sure, so I mean, we have, you know, we're primarily engineering focused. You know, we have a lot of people working on Node. We have some sort of Node celebrities. We have Danny Coates who did Node Inspector. We have Daniel Shaw who's done various things with MongoDB and just well-known in the community. We're looking to recruit more, you know, more people to work on Node, be they Node celebrities or not. But yeah, we've got some people working on iOS and some people working on Android and you know, we're always looking for more. Cool. Well, let's talk about Node. We're at the Node Summit. You guys have a lot of challenges. We were talking last night with David Floyer, our chief IO researcher at wikibon.org and we were talking about IO and it's a challenge. And we were talking about latency and it's a constant chase, the latency problem. So before we get into the latency deep conversation, let's talk about the challenges with your application and then where Node really came in to help you. I mean, because you were talking about the old ways of doing things.  So talk about some of the latency issues around and what Node does for you. Yeah, so we have kind of a, we have a funny sort of architecture in that we're trying to be as low latency as possible. Like we're trying to be absolutely live as you know, absolutely as fast as we can get data through our system. We want to do that. But we also need to make a copy of it in case you want to come in later if you have another device or you're offline at the time or whatever. And so that has been basically like the big win with Node is that we can shuffle data through our system incredibly quickly. We can hold open lots and lots of connections. Either be they very short lived, very low latency connections or we can keep much longer lived ones open to a database or processes writing to disk drives somehow. Being able to hold open all of those connections and has been crucial to us being able to kind of scale this up and keep delivering low latency that we need to do. So it's been a big win. Klan, what's your take on this? I mean, I see you were following Node, you've been following these guys. What's your take on all this? Well, actually I would rather answer that with another question. But I wonder what role has Node and the rest of your stack because there's other interesting things in the stack besides Node. How has that helped you scale? Because you've been growing so fast and I can't help but think that some of your success has been your own scalability. If people started downloading the app and it wasn't working, the adoption, I imagine probably wouldn't really be there. But some people have criticized Node as a sort of premature optimization. I'm wondering about you have what seems like a really scalable stack and how has that helped you? So, well, I mean, as you say, if we couldn't have scaled it up, obviously it wouldn't work and then people wouldn't be able to use it. And so we were able to. So yeah, I mean, a lot of people say, oh, Node doesn't scale. Like, you need something that can scale.  Like you have to do some work.  And so the work that we put into our application logic made it so that it scales with Node. The real reason, like to the first part of your question is like the thing that wins for us is HTTP. Like using HTTP for everything. And Node in HTTP, in Node, HTTP is a first class citizen and it's effortless to do HTTP and it's effortless to do JSON. And so that's what we use as a protocol and that's worked out really well. And because Node does so well at this, we are able to build up several kind of service tiers, you know, several layers of our application staff on the back end that all talk to each other with JSON over HTTP. And likewise with RIOC, that has been a big win because we can talk to RIOC with HTTP and Node does that really, really well. And that's been a big reason that we were able to scale this up. We're good. So what's next for you guys now? Give us a status of the company. Where are you guys at in terms of employees, funding, and all that good stuff. So we're in the process of raising some more money. We obviously know that we have a lot more users. It's a lot more expensive.  You're not in the cloud? Or are you on Amazon? In the cloud. I mean, yeah. What does that mean? Exactly. You're not using Amazon, are you? We're not using Amazon. We started using Amazon because you're supposed to. And we could not get the latency numbers that we needed. It was too unpredictable and too crazy. And so we went to SoftLayer and we got bare metal machines there. And that was fine. It was really good value for your money, for our money. But the problem was, at the end of the day, Linux, we have these weird IO mysteries, these weird latency mysteries and we couldn't figure out what they were. So we are actually moving our whole deal to joint right now. And so we've already, in the parts of our operation that are on joint, we've already been able to find some just crazy, crazy, just impossible performance problems that we were able to kind of suss out with the magic of detrace. Cool. So in terms of funding, have you taken funding so far? Self-funded? It has been self-funded. So you're looking for round of financing? Yeah, yeah. We're in the process right now. And sure you're going to get a lot of term sheets. I'd definitely invest in you guys. I really love what you guys are doing. I think it's exciting. I think you're pushing the envelope. And I think the app is just dead simple, great. So, and I think it's got a lot of head room. Possibly video, maybe. Oh yeah, video, absolutely. I mean, the infrastructure supports video. We just haven't put it into the clients yet. Great.  Like there'll be a browser version of Voxer. It's going to be awesome. And it will sort of sync up with all of your content. And kind of like Gmail. Like you can get your stuff from any computer that has a web browser. It works the same with our mobile phones. It's just usually mobile phones more personal. You don't usually share your mobile phone. But you can have multiple devices and it all syncs already. And so we're going to add a browser version and probably some kind of a follower model. So right now we're symmetric like Facebook. What about like integration with Skype or something like that? Yeah, maybe. I don't know. I mean, the thing that Skype does is they do really good phone calls over IP networks. And our thing isn't really phone calls. It's kind of somewhere in between like phone calls and text messaging. And maybe something. I mean, Skype has really good audio. I just think about it because I live in Skype a lot for. Me too, honestly. So I was just thinking it might be nice to be able to get my Voxer messages in Skype. So not calls, but just get the notifications and be able to play them right in Skype. Yeah, I mean, so soon we'll probably also, I mean, I'm not sure when it's going to happen in the long-term vision, but we want to expose an API. And so then maybe we would do that. Maybe somebody will mash up Skype and Voxer and get you what you're looking for there. But yeah, I hope to open up an API so that people can build all kinds of interesting voice apps using our backend. What are you guys thinking in terms of infrastructure side of it in terms of we talked to the CEO of Blacko and Rich Screnta, and they told me that everything's in SSD for them. They're running a pretty cool search engine and they're really doing a great job over there. Are you looking at the Flash, and is your architect, do you have any purpose-built kind of hardware? Are you going to go off the shelf and get like HP Dell boxes or that kind of thing? So right now, we use what, I don't even really know what kind of computer's there. Come out of your gear. Yeah, I mean, we ask our hosting provider to give us computers, and then they do. But no special architecture in terms of IO on the hardware side. We have, I mean, some, one of our React clusters is on SSDs, and another one is on a big spinning disk arrays. Like, because we don't ever throw away messages. We let you keep your messages forever, and so that's a lot of storage. It doesn't quite make sense to keep all that on SSD.  You guys are a good prospect for the EMCs of the world out there. HP EMC, so great. Except maybe not because we're using React to scale out our storage. We're not using a big sand. We're just using individual computers to add more storage. We just get on the computer with more storage and React spreads it out. Yeah, cool. Well, Matt, congratulations on the great AppVoxer. Go to the App Store, download it, check it out. I'm sure it's going to be a big hit with everyone from kids up to adults, travelers, and... But no further. No, the whole world. I mean, it's a global web, right? I mean, you add in social capabilities like following. You can really create, I mean, GroupMe's been a great app with the look at the shared text messaging. It's just a matter of time before voice becomes that. I mean, come back and voicemail again. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, cool, thanks. Thanks so much. We're here inside theCUBE with Matt, the co-founder, founder or co-founder? Co-founder of Voxer. Check it out, voxer.com, and check out the app. It's growing faster than Facebook and Twitter. In terms of the iStore, I made that up. Implied that from the conversation. I think you could actually conclude that, but the algorithm is secret for the App Store rankings. We'll dig into it. We'll be following that. We'll do some investigative reporting. Congratulations, thanks so much. I will watch that. I'll watch that. Thanks for coming inside theCUBE. Hey, Matt Rainey with Voxer, with Clint Finley, and we'll be right back in five minutes with more interviews.


What's going on everyone? Sam here with late in sports cards and I am ripping two boxes of 2022 tops tier one boondish league of soccer for terry m. So good luck terry. Let's see what we got in here Nice phillip leinhardt on the uh two color two color patch for fryberg 18 out of 25 nice one there We've got first auto is john anthony brooks that is 16 out of 106 for wolfsburg Nice hit there and amon barcock that is for frank for 24 out of 50 I don't think I would ever shave my head jmart unless I started going bald and it was like All right, it's just time to get rid of it like jordan did That would be the only time I think I would ever shave my head But I've got a lot of hair. I mean you guys don't see it very often. I've got a good amount of hair still So I'm gonna probably just ride that until it's uh completely completely gone We're about to be gone.

I think what surprised me the most is the recognition.  You know, I never saw myself as one of those people that people would automatically recognize. I think it's pretty neat that a lot of soldiers actually recognize who the certain major army is. But I just didn't really expect it that no matter where you're at, you know, there's going to be a soldier, which is really good.  So I'm pretty proud of that. But I just didn't recognize, I didn't think it would be that often. So I'm really, I'm proud of that. I don't look for it. I didn't expect it, but it kind of surprised me a little bit.


This review describes recent efforts on the synthesis, dispersion and surface functionalization of the three dominating oxide nanoparticles used for photocatalytic, UV blocking and sunscreen applications, titanium, zinc oxide, and ceria. The stabilization of oxide nanoparticle in both aqueous and non-aqueous media requires a good understanding of the magnitude of the inter particle forces and surface chemistry of the materials.

Zero Accounting Software 2023, credit card reconciliation for month number two and month number three.  Here we are in our custom zero home page going into the company file we set up in a prior presentation the bank feed file. First a word from our sponsor well actually these are just items that we picked from the YouTube shopping affiliate program but that's actually good for you because these aren't things that we're just given to us from some large corporation which we don't even use in exchange for us selling them to you. These are things that we actually researched purchase and use ourselves Bayer dynamic. Not sure if I said that right but this is the DT 770 Pro 250 OHM studio reference closed back headphones. I wear headphones basically every day for a large part of the day they are important to me therefore I've gone through many different kinds of headphones. I've had these for some time and they've worked quite well. They fit over my ears but I'm still able to put my glasses on under the headphones the headphones not pinching too tight on the glasses to give me a headache which is nice. The quality of the patting is good and it has lasted for some time I've had these for some time now and they haven't gotten all torn up on me or anything like that. I also like that I have a cord when I'm doing my recordings as opposed to a USB centered headphone because that frees up a USB port and I find the USB headphones to be less reliable. They come with an audio jack that looks like this which is useful for me because that plugs into my audio interface however if you want to use the headphones for some other purpose I believe it's fairly easy to get a converter to other types of audio jacks.

Students which are well organized have other resources like excel files and PDF files to download and no commercials. We're going to duplicate those tabs to put our favorite reports in right clicking the tab up top to duplicate it and then we'll right click the tab again and duplicate the duplication back to the tab to the middle opening up the famous balance sheet report tabbing to the right hitting the drop down hitting the income statement report up for this one and then we'll change our range on the income statement. Let's just do the whole year of 2022 on the income statement and then we'll change our range more specifically on the balance sheet. So I'm going to go from Jan 2022 to December 2022 the 31st of it and update it and then to the balance sheet I'm going to now be reconciling for the period end of September. So that's our next reconciliation date. Let's actually by the way let's do it this way let's let's let's put three months next to each other. So I'm going to do a custom date range to do that and I'm going to go to the drop down and let's go to actually October the end of October and then use zero's really cool date edit layout field down here to bring in the prior two months as well and to do that I'm just going to say add a field up top and I want it to be a date field and so on the date I want to bring this one back to September and so there it is so September looks good let's add another one another date field and let's do it with a date up top and this one's going to be for August August so now we've got the current October September and August okay and so let's update it and then we've got this super cool report that shows the credit card balances lined up for October September and August. Now last time we did a reconciliation for August the first bank reconciliation which is really the only one that causes problems oftentimes with a credit card because you might have that beginning balance issue that you have to deal with once we do that then our balances are usually pretty on target so if I go into August there's the 522.71 and there's the balance 522.71 there is no difference because we don't have any outstanding checks and deposits because we constructed our books directly from the bank feeds let's actually open the bank reconciliation report now right click it on the tab to the right duplicating it and then we'll go to the accounting drop down and into the reports and let's open up a bank reconciliation bank reconciliation wreck bank wreck and so we're now going to be doing this for the following month so let's first take a look at that month we'll say drop down let's go to the 2022 bring it back to August and the 31st and then we're going to go to let's actually do the 1st of August and then to the 31st July August 2022 31st and then this is for the credit card and the tricky thing here is you just got to make sure you put a negative for the credit card so 522.71 so negative negative 522.71 and there we have it we reconciled everything so we don't have anything outstanding at this point in time and so the two things match it should be the way it should go basically going forward let's do the same report I'm going to copy it right click and duplicate it for the month of September so I'm going to go and say now let's do August September 1st to September 30th and now I'm going to change the balance to be this is October September 717.22 so negative negative 717.22 and update that report so there we have it and notice it should basically tie out pretty much automatically now because we don't have that same beginning balance problem so this is the amount from the balance sheet here's the amount from the balance sheet if I go back on over credit card 717.22 and we're going to say September 717.22 and that's the amount on the books as well so everything ties out let's go to the first tab just to look at the bank reconciliation process if I go to the accounting drop down and we go into the bank accounts then we could say all right let's go into the credit card and see what has happened so the account transactions this is what we have entered that is related to the credit card but we constructed all these transactions directly from the credit card bank feeds all except this beginning balance entry once we have this entry in if everything else is being constructed directly from the bank feeds everything should be good to go we should be basically reconciled you can see the first tab over here there is nothing more to reconcile we've pulled everything into our system this is the process of reconciling and if we looked at our balances as of the current time frame we might tie out to this balance but you really want to oftentimes just look at it on the balance sheet and every period basically tie it out you still kind of want to check this check the reconciliation which you might be able to do as easily as checking the ending balance at this point in time because there's no outstanding checks and deposits being but doing that doing a reconciliation formally looking at the report will help you to have errors that could come up from somehow getting two things input into the system two transactions recorded twice for example or a transaction that was missed if that happens then of course our balance will be thrown off and we can use our bank reconciliation skills to determine which balance is missing or or or duplicated so if I go back then to the account transactions tab then I could check all these off if I had a problem with this I can go into here and say okay this is all the stuff that happened in September so I can check this off side by side I could put these side by side there's the 8445 right and I can say September there's the 8445 the 119 31 the 3499 the 1197 and the 21926 should be over here as well having trouble going back and forth so so there's the 8449 the 119 31 the 3499 and the 1197 the 21926 and then the payment of the 275 47 which ties out to the payment of the 275 47 over here and that's why basically everything is reconciled we don't need to do anything else in order to see that reconciliation process it's basically taken care of for us let's just do the last one so our report then here shows the balance in zero and then no outstanding items which ties out to the calculated bank balance and there's no discrepancy now let's just do the last report just to see the last one if I right click and duplicate this again then we can take a look at this for October October 1st to October 31st and then I'm going to say that this is going to be the ending balance of 900 95 so negative 900 0.95 update and once again we should tie out because we brought everything it should be that that easy right we're just we've been doing the reconciliation as we go because we could be creating our books from the bank feeds and we don't have the beginning balance issue so there's the 995 which is on the balance sheet which is the the balance sheet over here 995 right there and there's no outstanding checks or deposits or inflows or outflows and therefore our bank balance ties out to our statement balance if I go to the first tab just to verify that I can go to my reconciling tab because this is the last reconciliation you would think that this would tie out to the statement at this point the 995 or tie out to your running balance because this is going to be kind of updated as you you know add the data as you reconciling not always like the end of the period see its statement balance as of October 11th it might better be called bank balance I would think of it as because a statement balance kind of indicates that you're talking about a month monthly statement as of a point in time when the when the statement ends and this is kind of a running balance but it's the bank side of things is the idea if I go to the accounting transactions and I was trying to take all this stuff off these are all the reconciled transactions that happened in October we had Costco we had 60 153 96 and we had the the payment of the 309 96 that should tie out over here where we have let's do this should be open this way this tab should be over here so so so there we have the 280 the 60 the 153 96 and the 309 96 so that's that's how you check everything off right here's the first bank rec where we had this activity we had to add the $1000 then the ending balance the 522 71 will be the beginning balance of the next bank statement that's why it's useful to think of these as bank statements to look at the actual bank statements which are monthly bank statements because that gives you a very distinct set point of the beginning balance and the ending balance so that you can tie out what is the beginning balance this is where I stood before that was the beginning balance here's the activity increases and decreases to get to the ending balance if you don't use those distinct dates then it gets a little confusing if something gets off balance to try to figure out because because you're kind of floating in the middle of a period right you need to you need to if you actually look at the statements then it'll give you a distinct beginning and ending balance that ending balance is now 717 22 is the beginning balance for October and then we have all the activity that was pulled in from the bank feeds and because we pulled them in from the bank feeds and used the zero system to pull them from the bank feeds into the financial statements we of course don't have any outstanding items so our reconciliation report is quite bland quite boring which is fine because it should be quite easy as well so after we do a couple more transactions on the bank checking account side of things we'll do a similar process for the checking account but the checking account is often for many companies a little bit more difficult because you may indeed have some outstanding payments or outstanding receipts even if using electronic transfers you could have some systems where you don't where it's really easy still and it would be a similar process but you could also have some systems where you do have some outstanding items those would be systems in which you had to do some accrual component you had to record the receipt of the payment or the recording of of the payment are in advance and then match it to the zero system using the bank feeds or you'll certainly have outstanding items you would think if you actually write physical checks because then you're going to have that extended period of time that the check will be outstanding likely than having an outstanding reconciling item for the bank reconciliation so we'll talk about those in future presentations


So apparently this guy lives in space cuz choo choo charl.  Here we go Yeah, he grilled them pretty fat. There goes Thursday It goes Thursday is shot obviously Well, damn. What's up, everybody?

Taking a look now major averages heading into the final hour. We're looking pretty good in this third day of the rebound We're shaking it off. We're shaking it off now here to discuss where this market goes today And also a preview of tomorrow's job to port Melissa RMO the stock solution back with us miss real shell All right, Melissa. Let me start with you first Three days in a row four hundred and fifty two hundred and fifty maybe another two fifty not bad not bad We're looking well This is playing out to be better than expected for this week considering last week Remember ideally we wanted Google to report well on Amazon. They didn't but the market held its own And let me tell you from the drop-off we've had everyone talked about October with the selling we've We traced 50% of that and more than 50% of that. I think today into the close of the market So that's a good sign. It's a positive positive sign that sometimes 15% retracement you go back the other way though.  We'll forget October ever existed I think maybe by tomorrow We'll certainly on Tuesday people are gonna forget that October existed from a market. You think the midterms are that important I think the midterms are very important. I think businesses care about it I think even the Main Street Investor cares about the midterms because tax reform was an important thing to drive this economy forward and let me throw a couple scenarios at you Then Dems won the house GOP keeps the Senate. What does it for the market? I think gridlock is probably as crazy as it sound okay for the market because that would create status quo However, if there's a lot of uncertainty around the presidency and a lot of investigation that could create a lot of anxiety Let's go take a look out back on Silicon Valley because we're a mountain view The employees of Google slash alphabet going out on a walk They're protesting Management's treatment and this particular case of women the cover-ups and just a lack of transparency there a lot of issues for this company Melissa just a tour of issues and I think it all centers around a very arrogant board of directors a little little clubbing this there What does that mean for the company in the stock? You just mentioned if they had a miss already I had a miss and I talked about it last week as well because Google was a wonder watch because if it reported well Would have been an immediate buy but they didn't Google has dragged itself ever since July This does not look as good as Amazon look this did not make new highs when the Dow made new highs like Amazon did It certainly doesn't look anywhere near as good as Apple and Apple is near the highs no matter how reports tonight Apple's one of the strongest stocks of the market Google has some troubles I don't know what all of those troubles are internal or otherwise, but just looking at the stock you can tell that the stock has had troubles Here's my here's my thesis Mitch I watched Amazon report when the conference call began to stock dropped five bucks as they talked about how badly they were gonna Do how much money they had to spend but as the call went on the maturation of Mark Elliott Zuckerberg Took the stock up 11 points at 38 billion dollar reversal to the upside looks like Google needs that kind of a turn that kind of a Message of management of leadership and these this is an industry that we talked earlier about what could happen if you have the Dems versus the Republicans control. This is an industry social media and these new media companies is an industry That's gonna get a lot of focus and attention in Washington DC, and I think that's weighing on them as well Really quickly. Here's what you want to see tonight You want to look for Apple up at all anything Apple is up five cents ten cents a dollar anything apples up unless it's up $50 tonight in the earnings Apple is a buy. What's what sends it higher the good earnings a good call We'll see what they report good earnings right then set as you know buying you want to see buying you want to see You want to see the reaction to this? I want to see a difference I want to see the stock tonight in the pre-market in the post-market tomorrow morning at a higher price No, you know, but if it does that because it could get down, of course. No, you have to wait What's Apple gonna do? I think this is one of a there's a company that's standing out differently from some of its peers And and just as Melissa said, I think you're gonna see Over the months to come a lot of these companies behaving differently in the market, but the bar is very high, right? We just had a prior tech analyst saying they expected to sell 78 million iPhones in the holiday quarter, so they've got to be able to articulate that tonight. You think they can do that I think the consumer is pretty strong confidence is strong and that's gonna drive all of the sales 20 seconds job support do you want it to be good? Will it be good? I think it'll be good and that we we want to see job creation and we want to see that workforce The market does and the market wants Apple the jobs report tomorrow rally into this and pretend that October never even existed All right Here's my theory Apple the most inexpensive stock in the entire market if it goes up or goes down I think you want to chase it no matter what and we're gonna blow away those job numbers tomorrow Thank you, Mitch. Thank you, Melissa. All right, Liz again the CP effect


Hello, welcome to Toffy TV. It's the Star in Eleven show. Everton vs Manchester United, Gooderson Park 430. It's going to be a big one. It's going to be a loud one. I don't even know what to expect from this game. It's going to be very strange. Very, very strange. 37,000 Evertonians all pulling in the same direction. Do you know what? It's been a while since that, but I can't wait for it. So, let's get into the team. Jordan Pickford in goal. Obviously coming off the back of a couple of games for England. Clean sheet in one. Penalty saving another. So, let's hope he's at his best in this one. Right back. Do you know what? I've had a few thoughts about this. Sheamus Coleman's back in Consention. As the young actually did play quite well at Palace. Nathan Patterson played a couple of times for Scotland, sorry, in the break. I'm a bit torn, but I'm just going to stick to my party line and go with Nathan Patterson. My heart is Nathan Patterson. My head tells me actually young because actually he was part of a winning team at Crystal Palace. So, I don't know, but listen, I'm going to go for Nathan Patterson. I know the manager's going for Ashley Young, so it doesn't really matter. But why would you change? Why would you drop Ashley Young after we've just won at Crystal Palace? You wouldn't, would you? But I'm going for Nathan Patterson because I'm me. On the other side, Michalenko, goal scorer, supreme, pre-assister, supreme. We've been doing brilliantly of late. Obviously he's had a bit of a disappointing week, only getting the draw against Italy, which means Ukraine have gone into the playoffs rather than straight into the Euros for next year. It's channely, channel that anger for the game on Sunday against Manchester United.  Just do what you've been doing to the other wingers recently, just pocket them. And you know, listen, I'll be disappointed if he doesn't score. I'll be honest. That's what I expect our main goal scorer to do now, score on a regular basis. So I'd be disappointed if he didn't score, but he is starting at left back. So he's going to centre backs, Tarchi and Jarrod Branthwaith. Jarrod Branthwaith, captain the England under 21s of Gwdysan this week. So he's had a good week back to playing in a familiar place. He'll have been training all week at Finch Farm, so that's good. And Tarchi, yeah, Tarchi just has to be aggressive and do what he normally does and lead the team and sort of make sure the team are reacting the same way. Be a lot of passion, lot of emotion of Gwdysan on Sunday. Just need the team to be in sort of the right mind space. And the likes of him, the likes of Seamus, the likes of Ashley Young. It's up to them to get us in the right place and channel our anger in the right place. So that is my back four. And don't forget this weekend, it is the Blue Friday event. 25% off everything in our shop to obviously celebrate Black Friday and Cyber Monday. The sale must end Monday night, midnight. Get in there for all your Christmas jumpers and gifts ahead of the Christmas period. Head over to toffeeTVes.com slash shop or toffeeTV.myshopify.com. So on to the midfield. Obviously I'm going to do nine is probably not going to be involved in this game. He went away with Belgium and they obviously decided he wasn't fit. He's come back. He hasn't trained all week. So he looks like he's not going to play. Obviously went off a hard time against Crystal Palace. And just a guy came on and scored the winning goal. So he obviously is in the team for this one. So it's good that we've got to play with that much experience who can come into the side. And obviously he's being part of the side all season. So he's really dropped out like the last three games. So it's disappointing because on that has been so good in that number six. And with being a really important player in this to stop, you know, brewing off ananda as you like stopping into those positions. So it's disappointing that he's not going to be involved. But and it's disappointing as well because then we haven't got. We've got one less player on the bench as well who can play in that role. And that's what that's the real disappointment. Onze Gomez is not back yet of the manager's talk that he's getting closer. And obviously deli is not is not back yet. So even though they don't really play that role, but we're really lacking in midfield from the bench. So it is what it is at the moment. This is what happened when you've got a small squad, but it's important we get on on a back fully fit.  We need that strength in the squad. So going to start obviously in alongside and James going off. She starts being in decent form of late as well. Start to show an all round aspect to his game. And I think, you know, the middle of the park is where he belongs, not stuck out on the writer. He's in there and ahead of them, obviously, the Corde, who's been so important for us of late against Gordon in the last game. And he's hugely important and will be in this game. On the right hand side, Jack Harrison, who listen, has he been brilliant? No, has he been getting assists and got a goal? Yes. Keep out no stats. And everything else will start coming to, will obviously start matching that. Fitness isn't quite there. Let's not forget. No preseason is just adding the games one by one. But I think he's just got to be a little bit more direct in this game. Sainly, if it is actually young, we know the situation. Actually, young doesn't go past them. So a lot of the time he is isolated out there. But if you keep on putting crosses in like you did for Michelin Co's goal against Palestine, it will all be all well. And on the other side, Dwight MacNeill, who again just needs that goal to sort of get a season going. I don't know if he works really hard, but I thought both of them against Palestine were a little bit, a little bit offing. And that allowed Palestine to dominate the ball second half because we didn't really have a threat. Even though we went on a wonder game. So I'd like to see a little bit more from both of them in this game. And up front, Dom and the Carvelloo, and he was pretty ineffective against Palace. So got to get him more involved, which means those wide players joining up, the court are getting closer to him a little bit more. And I think Dom will relish playing against the likes of Maguire. And I think that's, you know, Maguire is good in the air, but I think he'll enjoy that. So hopefully Dom will get back to his best get a goal and hopefully Evan can go on and get the three points. It's going to be a tough game, but you know, if at the end of that game Evan have got the three points, the noise is going to be unbelievable. And Evan had just got a channel all that for Sunday afternoon. So there you go. This has been my stand. Let me know your thoughts on the game and don't forget, get your cards outside, get them hold them up in the ground and make sure we tell the Premier League exactly how we feel about them. There you go. Make sure you check out the match preview as well. If you want more great videos, join us over on Toffee TV Premier.
