The big Google update is here

And that is ? I saw someone commented in this forum about having run black hat websites for years now and never had any issue with Google updates. At the same time, I've read someone posting here having done all right and being hit with some updates anyway. So I feel kinda lost sometimes reading all of that.

That's why I really want to know the real basics to do SEO right for my website. Thanks in advance for your answer.

1) use posts above 1000 words, 2) do proper on page seo 3) build less links but quality ones guest posts and niche edits, 4) shoot social signals 5) update your content repeat the process
 
Give it a few days, it's still rolling out.

A bloody noob question, but how does one stay up to date with the changes?

Same for FB. Everytime algo changes, everyone seems to know and by the time I get the news, it's a couple weeks old.

Is there a resource page we can follow for these algo changes?
i suggest to watch weekly youtube videos by clint butler. he summarized all SEO happening each week in a 1 hour video. Often times, Ted Kubaitis, CORA author, is present and adds his color commentary as well.

Spot-checked a few of my sites, and still absolutely no difference in rankings. Anyone else?

I had a earnings spike on some sites, but no traffic change.... Monitoring tens of sites here.... I don't think it's rolled out yet.

Interesting. In the June/July update, one of my sites went from 10k UV/month to 50k, yet my sales stayed the same.. Like, wtf is that about?

I'll update if I see some difference in rankings in the next few days - Monitoring around 10 sites.
 
When you're going down or so before updates, usually means the update will be good for you.
Don't tell me that... because my blog saw huge increase of visits instead of dropping down haha
Hope it's going to go in the same direction!
 
I feel so scared, !! according to google announced this Update mainly affect the low-quality content site. Let's wait to see the Result.

They're obviously sending you non-commercial traffic, keeping the commercial intent in their SERPs.

When people land at your site from Google they've already gone through the filter. They keep most commercial traffic at their own SERPs and never let them reach you.


No changes in my sites yet. I’m watching-and-waiting and hoping nothing crazy happens. I’ll update as well if I see any significant changes. I manage a few content sites with high-quality articles but I know Google algo can still mess you up regardless of how ‘perfect’ your site may be. We’ll see...

I don't think this update has rolled out yet and if it was it rolled out earlier in September and they only let us know now.

It's not always 100% inverted. I just noticed that when sites do badly in the moments preceding an update, it's usually good. You should be concerned when sites do badly at the end tail of updates.

Low quality = sites that make them little $. Make your site profitable for Google. Also suck their dick in social media.
 
Google released an update just a few hours ago and some stupid guys wrote that they have already a drop or a rise. Jeez, cmon.

yes, it's definitely too early to make a conclusion
 
Is there not a way to use an AI to analyze Google's algorithm for search results?

So what I am hearing as at a very minimum I should add adsense to my website :)
