4. Search and SEO Blog | Google Search Central | Google Search Central Blog | Google for Developers
Where can you find out more about SEO news if not from the Google blog itself?
Do note that even if news comes directly from Google, this does not necessarily imply that it's 100% accurate. This site is generally a good source, however, sometimes Google might state some things that the SEO community is not on the same page about.
If for instance, Google says, "Do this, don't do that!" this is generally sound advice, but they might not have, in practice, what they wish for. They can say, "Don't write thin content," but thin content might still rank; they might say "Don't use sitewide links", and you might see websites using sitewide links that are ranking just fine. Wishing to get rid of SPAM and actually getting rid of SPAM might be too different from another.
