Earlier today I announce the GPWA Times Magazine issue 30 is not available online. You can see the announcement here: GPWA Times Magazine issue 30 now available online and at G2E!. The cover story of the new issue is titled "Google is ready to E-A-T," and explains how Version 5.0 of Google's Search Quality Rating Guidelines give us an idea as to which the search giant will be looking for from sites. The answer is "E-A-T," or expertise, authoritativeness, and trustworthiness.

When you consider your own sites, how do you think they compare with others? Do you believe that as Google reflects these values you site will receive more or less trannif compared with others? Besides voting in the poll, share the reasons for your thinking in a post. Will you be helped in particular areas and hurt in others? Will any of your goals or future plans for your sites be revised or adjusted based on considering these areas? If you do expect to make changes, what types of changes do you expect to make and why?
