It's that time again, Google has officially released another update which went in to effect as of TODAY.
This rare pre-announcement of the algorithm update, which Google named the "
June 2019 Core Update", was first made via Google's official Twitter account, on 6/2/2019:
“Tomorrow, we are releasing a broad core algorithm update, as we do several times per year. It is called the June 2019 Core Update. Our guidance about such updates remains as we’ve covered before".
Shortly after, Google Search Liason took to Twitter to share a previous "Tweet" from October 2018:
One important part of a multi-tweet streak was the following statement:
“Sometimes, we make broad changes to our core algorithm. We inform about those because the actionable advice is that there is nothing, in particular, to “fix,” and we don’t want content owners to mistakenly try to change things that aren’t issues….
What I believe is important to pull away from this is that core algorithm updates are broad and aren't generally focused on targeting low-quality content. Rather, its purpose is to improve the relevancy of content to users. Showing relevant results to relevant users is ultimately the goal, in my opinion.
Such updates I believe are done to help Google to improve their understanding of search queries and web pages. By doing so, they can improve the relevancy of search results for search engine users and webmasters alike.
The Update is LIVE
The update is NOW rolling out, according to a post at 2:02 pm EST:
“The June 2019 Core Update is now live and rolling out to our various data centers over the coming days.”
