Video from @JohnMu: Whoa, Google is thinking about letting site owners add a root domain to GSC, and then Google would add *all versions* automatically (www, non-www, http, https, etc). Maybe even subdomains! That would be awesome. :) glennga.be/2yqEj6S

Huge heads-up! The manual actions for 'Site reputation abuse' have already started going out based on the policy update. Jason Kilgore first pinged me on LinkedIn that Forbes Advisor is not ranking for what it once was (not even for the query 'Forbes Advisor')... and it looks
