Search Console New Domain properties added to your account Dear Search Console user, The Search Console team is always trying to improve our product, based on user feedback. One common complaint we heard is that users don't like having to create separate properties to cover http, https, www, m, and other variations of their site. We heard you, and we are proud to introduce a great new feature, called a Domain property, to consolidate your common site variations into a single property. A Domain property includes URLs from all subdomains, paths, and protocols. For example, if you define your Domain property as "example.com", your property includes URLs from example.com, m.example.com, www.example.com, and any other subdomains of example.com, on both http and https. The addition of these properties will not affect or remove your existing properties. You can remove these properties if you like. Domain properties are available only in new Search Console. We've created the following Domain properties for you, based on your existing properties (maximum 8 properties shown): fashion-and-beautys.blogspot.com fxlatestworldnews.blogspot.com todaybeautyforever.blogspot.com You'll find these properties in your account today.
