September 2020 Google Webmaster Report

It was an interesting month for Google Search. We had a confirmed Google search glitch that had a huge temporary impact on the Google rankings and search results. SEOs are bracing themselves for the next core update. While we had a few unconfirmed Google updates and indexing issues as well. 對于Google搜索而言，這是一個有趣的月份。我們確認Google搜索出現故障，這對Google排名和搜索結果產生了巨大的暫時影響。SEO正在為下一個核心更新做好準備。雖然我們還有一些未經確認的Google更新和索引編制問題。

Google Search Console launched Insights and a new API infrastructure. Google also added new reporting and tools to Search Console. Google launched the licensable badge in image search. New rich results test supports article structured data. Google Home activities structured data launched as well. Google Search Console推出了Insights和新的API基礎結構。Google還向Search Console添加了新的報告和工具。Google在圖片搜索中發布了可授權徽章。新的豐富結果測試支持文章結構化數據。Google Home活動也會啟動結構化的數據。

Google tested out this wild background image header feature that tried to match your query to an image - it failed quickly. Google測試了此背景圖片標頭功能，試圖將您的查詢與圖片匹配-它很快失敗了。
