If you want a quick and easy way to find your own IP address on Google Search, then simply go to your local version of Google and ask the question, “What is my IP address”. Google gives you the answer right at the top of the search results.
Do bear in mind, that depending on how your internet is configured and the service you have with your Internet Service Provider (ISP) then you may find that you get allocated a dynamic IP address every time you logon. This normally doesn’t cause a problem for day-to-day internet use, but there may be instances where you need or would prefer a static IP address. In these instances, you can normally ask your ISP to provide you with a static IP for a small fee, or, for businesses you may simply have to ask your local network administrator.
Just follow the process set out above. Search in Google for “What’s my IP address?” or the equivalent phrase in your local language and Google will return the answer directly to you at the top of the search results page. You normally don’t have to worry about the differences between IPV4 and IPV6 addresses – but they are easy to spot as IPV6 addresses are much longer and contain letters and numbers.
Here’s an example of an IPV4 address: 172.16.254.1
Here’s an example of an IPV6 address: 2002:0cb6:84a1:0000:0000:6a1e:0340:7118.
This post is aimed at non-technical users who just want a quick answer to how to find their own IP address. For a more technical explanation of the differences between ipv4 and ipv6 addresses and why we need the ‘new’ ipv6 address block then Wikipedia is as good as any place to start.
Review our latest assessment of how Google's SGE feature is going to change the SERP as you know it. This has implications for rank tracking, content strategy, page optimisation, content quality and more.
If a web page listing is elevated into the featured snippet position, we no longer repeat the listing in the search results. This declutters the results & helps users locate relevant information more easily. Featured snippets count as one of the ten web page listings we show.
Up until last year, Wikipedia truly dominated as the cited source in knowledge panels for brands. The truth is much more complex, of course – Google gets its information from multiple sources and gets corroboration / cross checks that information across multiple other sources before including a brand in the Knowledge Graph.
You can extract local business listings from Google in two ways:
The quality of the job ad is probably the most significant ranking factor in Google for Jobs. On top of displaying key elements such as a company info, role description, skills and responsibilities, I warmly recommend to add extra layer of information for Google to digest. For example, working hours, salary, benefits, and a more in-depth company information could make the difference between a good and an excellent job ad copy.
MANY of us have seen SEO click through rate (CTR) studies, performed on large data sets, but what can we learn from these, and, more to the point, are they truly representative? Given the ever changing nature of the SERPs – are click-through rate (CTR) studies too crude and limited in their scope to cater for the multi-faceted nature of a typical SERP? And in fact is there even such a thing as a typical SERP anymore?
