This marks the second time that Google has announced a broad core algorithm update in advance, which is further indication that the company is taking webmaster outreach more seriously.
As stated, Google’s guidance regarding this update remains the same. Here’s a quick refresher on Google’s guidance regarding core updates:
- Widely notable effects are to be expected, which can include drops or gains in search rankings.
- Core updates are "broad” in the sense that they don’t target anything specific. Rather, they’re designed to improve Google’s systems overall.
- Pages that drop in rankings aren’t being penalized; they’re being reassessed against other web content that has been published since the last update.
- Focusing on providing the best possible content is the top recommended way to deal with the impact of a core algorithm update.
- Broad core updates happen every few months. Sites might not recover from one update until the next one rolls out.
- Improvements do not guarantee recovery. However, choosing not to implement any improvements will virtually guarantee no recovery.
