However, as indicated in a later confirmation of the March core update (below), it may have been around relevance. March 2018 – Broad Core Update Google confirmed this broad core update and reminded webmasters to continue building great content. Later, Google explained that most of its updates are around relevance, not how good or bad a site is. 2017 ALGORITHM UPDATES December 2017 – Several SEO community that dubbed fluctuations in December as “Maccabees.” The search engine said it wasn’t a single update but several minor improvements and that there weren’t any major changes as a result. March 2017 – Fred Google confirmed a string of updates with the caveat that they make three updates per day on average. When asked if the updates had a name, Google jokingly said all updates would be called Fred, and the name stuck.
These updates seemed to be related to quality, and some impacted were sites using aggressive monetization tactics that provided a bad user experience, and that had poor-quality links. Fred was wide-reaching Denmark Email List and focused on quality across a variety of factors, not just a single process. One specific target was sites using aggressive monetization tactics that provided a bad user experience. Poor-quality links were also targeted by Fred. Link to an untrusted site, and it lowers your trust … and rankings. Hazards: Sites with thin, affiliate-heavy, or ad-centered content were targeted. Winners: Many websites featuring quality, high-value content with minimal ads benefited.
January 2017 – Interstitial Updates Google preannounced that it would make updates in January 2017 that would impact sites with pop-ups on their pages that created a poor user experience. It confirmed this algorithm updates on January 10, 2017. 2016 ALGORITHM UPDATES September 2016 – Penguin Integrated into Core Algorithm Google confirmed that its webspam algorithm dubbed “Penguin” was rolled into the core algorithm. That meant that instead of manual refreshes, it would now work in real-time. Penguin would now devalue spam links instead of demoting whole sites. It also became more granular in how it worked. Rather than demoting a site for having bad inbound links, the new Penguin tried to just do away with link spam. Now, if a site has inbound links from known spam sites, Google just devalues (ignores) the links. However, if a site’s backlink profile is too bad, Google may still apply a manual action for unnatural links to your website.
