Headings and subheadings help internet users and search engines read and understand your text. They serve as “titles” to inform readers about the sections of your content (for easy scanning), as well as how your content is structured within a page. Here are some best practices of writing good #headings and #subheadings, and how you should use them on your #website. https://lnkd.in/gYfFZ_pt

"i read it online... that's how it works!" It's crucial to evaluate the credibility of online technical content. While the web offers a wealth of knowledge, not all sources are accurate/correct. Before implementing new technical concepts gleaned online, validate them with use cases to ensure their effectiveness in real-world scenarios. #criticalthinking #dontjustgoogle

Last week Giacomo Zecchini was one of two community speakers to present at Google's Search Central Live 2024 in Zurich. The research topic of choice was Similarity. Similarity can mean different things to different teams: 1. Designer = Visual 2. Copywriter = Text The talk was focused on design. Normally with visual similarity it’s possible to compare two images side-by-side using pixel-by-pixel comparison, structural similarity index or feature based matching. This is computationally intensive and very costly. Instead, our research focused on using the layout tree information to convert HTML elements into simpler boxes where we could compare the coordinates and dimensions for similarity. This approach yielded a huge reduction in computation, cost and time. A link to the full presentation can be found in the comments.
