Google Analytics Academy has released a new course for Google Analytics focusing on power users. I just recently took the course and passed. I thought I would share my thoughts on the experience.
Got an email notification from Google Search Console this weekend that one or more of my AMPs had an issue that needed to be addressed. After reviewing the code, I found that my recent inclusion of Google Analytics (GA) for AMPs had multiple Google Tag Manager JavaScript includes.
Quick update and some thoughts based off of new information withing Google Search Console regarding amp specific XML sitemaps.
Brought up Google Search Console and started digging through the sitemaps and looking at the sitemap coverage. What I found isn't looking good.

Got a notification in Google Search Console tonight that appeared in the overview section of the coverage graph. The notification marked for Sunday, November 25 states "An event has occurred in Google Search that might affect your site's data." There is also a link provided detailing the update.
After playing around with the newest release of Google DevTools Lighthouse audits. I decided to take another look at a solution for dynamically delivery of webp image formats.

Registered a new domain that points to this site. the-seo-guy.com was available so I purchased it through 1and1.com. I was actually surprised it was available and couldn't help but snag it for $9.99 a year.
