## September 2026

- **Dead links cleared from older blog posts** (September 25, 2026): Links in older posts that led to pages that no longer exist were removed, with their text kept, and links that went through a redirect now point straight at the page. https://seobandwagon.com/blog
- **Fixed the "other metros" links on metro industry pages** (September 25, 2026): Each metro's industry page now links to the same industry in similar metros. Those links had been rendering empty. https://seobandwagon.com/local-seo
- **Corrected analysis pages about the wrong subject** (September 25, 2026): Two Wikipedia analysis pages covered the wrong article. They now point to the right ones: Danny Sullivan the search journalist, and Conductor the SEO company. Two pages about people Wikipedia has no article on were retired to the index. https://seobandwagon.com/wiki-analysis
- **New research: When SEO Was Spam** (September 25, 2026): How Wikipedia's editors framed search engine optimization across 22 years of talk-page debates, with every quote linked to the revision it comes from. https://seobandwagon.com/research/when-seo-was-spam
- **A second edition of the Wikipedia jargon study** (September 25, 2026): The study of SEO terms on Wikipedia adds a second edition on a wider set of articles, and the glossary dates more of its terms from it. The first edition's published figures are unchanged. https://seobandwagon.com/research/how-spamdexing-became-seo#edition-2
- **The SEO glossary, linked across the site** (September 25, 2026): The glossary is in the navigation, and its terms are linked where they come up on the service pages, blog posts and metro pages. https://seobandwagon.com/seo-glossary
- **The first glossary term pages** (September 24, 2026): Two terms now have full pages, each reviewed before it went live: What is llms.txt? and What is a local citation? https://seobandwagon.com/seo-glossary/llms-txt
- **Corrected the Core Web Vitals targets** (September 24, 2026): The technical SEO page gives the thresholds as web.dev defines them: 2.5 s or less for LCP, 0.1 or less for CLS and 200 ms or less for INP. It had said "under" each one. https://seobandwagon.com/technical-seo#cwv
- **The SEO glossary, rebuilt** (September 24, 2026): Every term is defined in plain English and grouped by topic, with an A to Z index, and many terms carry a date measured from Wikipedia's record. https://seobandwagon.com/seo-glossary
- **A complete site map** (September 23, 2026): The site map lists every public page, with a Copy button for each link and links to the markdown copies. The XML sitemap and llms.txt are built from the same list. https://seobandwagon.com/sitemap
- **A favicon** (September 23, 2026): The site has a favicon and app icons: our SB monogram, pink on navy.
- **Files & Photos in the dashboard** (September 19, 2026): Clients can upload photos, a logo and documents for their project from the dashboard instead of sending them by email. Only the client and our team can see them.
- **Rank tracker: background checks and keyword controls** (September 17, 2026): Position checks started from the dashboard run in the background and show their progress. You can pause and resume keywords, set a keyword's target page, and delete keywords in bulk. https://seobandwagon.com/rank-tracker
- **Rank tracker: fewer missed positions, and Search Console import** (September 16, 2026): A position found in partial search results now counts instead of being dropped. You can import keywords from Search Console, and a new column shows each keyword's change over the last 7 days. https://seobandwagon.com/rank-tracker
- **Find a page** (September 11, 2026): A search box in the navigation finds any page on the site by its name. https://seobandwagon.com/sitemap
- **One footer, and pages on accessibility, cookies and data reuse** (September 11, 2026): Every page shares one footer, with our social profiles and the site map. New pages cover accessibility, your cookie choices, and how to reuse the figures we publish. https://seobandwagon.com/data-license
- **Real estate SEO, metro by metro** (September 9, 2026): The real estate SEO hub is rebuilt, with a page for each metro that passes our quality checks, built from that market's own search data. https://seobandwagon.com/real-estate-seo
- **Suggestions in the search box** (September 6, 2026): The search box suggests keywords and metros as you type, and choosing a metro takes you straight to its Search Ledger page. https://seobandwagon.com/#scan
- **Rank tracker: see what moved** (September 6, 2026): After a position check, the dashboard lists which keywords moved, and says so when a check fails instead of failing silently. https://seobandwagon.com/rank-tracker
- **A rebuilt Chrome extension page** (September 5, 2026): The extension page shows what it checks, how it works, how it compares with other extensions, and answers to common questions. https://seobandwagon.com/seo-chrome-extension
- **Revocable API keys** (September 5, 2026): Revoke an API key from the dashboard and it stops working at once. The MCP server accepts only keys that carry the mcp scope. https://seobandwagon.com/docs/api
- **Self-serve API keys** (September 3, 2026): Create your own API keys, with scopes, in the dashboard, and connect the Chrome extension to your account in one click. https://seobandwagon.com/docs/api
- **Signing in asks Google for less** (September 3, 2026): Signing in asks only for your name and email. Search Console and Analytics access are requested when you connect them, and only to read.

## August 2026

- **The Periodic Table of SEO** (August 29, 2026): An interactive periodic table of SEO ranking factors, each element marked with what our research measured and what it did not, with a code to embed it on your own site. https://seobandwagon.com/periodic-table-of-seo
- **Search Console and Analytics tools for AI agents** (August 28, 2026): The MCP server adds Search Console analysis tools, Google Analytics 4 reports, and a tool that joins the two by landing page. The reports flag when Google's data is sampled or incomplete. https://seobandwagon.com/docs/api
- **An RSS feed for The Search Ledger** (August 28, 2026): Follow new metro editions in any feed reader. https://seobandwagon.com/feed.xml
- **Social cards and an embeddable stat card for every metro** (August 27, 2026): Each Search Ledger page shares with its own card showing its figures, and other sites can embed a small card that links back to it. https://seobandwagon.com/local-seo
- **A contact form** (August 27, 2026): The contact page has a form, so you no longer need an email client to reach us. https://seobandwagon.com/contact
- **Audit results you can act on** (August 27, 2026): The free SEO audit shows a health score across the systems it measured and a list of what to fix first, and says plainly which systems it did not measure. https://seobandwagon.com/#scan
- **Research pages open to all, and the audit behind a sign-in** (August 27, 2026): The Wikipedia research pages load for every visitor without an account. The free SEO audit now asks you to sign in with Google first. https://seobandwagon.com/wiki-analysis
