There's a possibility that penalties from Google in the upcoming months could be as severe as those seen in March. source: https://www.seroundtable.com/google-site-reputation-abuse-spam-37231.html

The upcoming site reputation abuse policy will be part of a broader spam update, meaning more manual and algorithmic penalties may be enforced.

Eric Lancheres' latest report on the Google March 2024 Core Update is exceptionally thorough. source: https://on-page.ai/pages/google-march-2024-core-update/

It delves into official statements regarding the update, insights from Google Search Liaison and engineers, as well as a plethora of statistics, charts, and figures that provide valuable insights.

The report offers practical observations, such as the trend of short-form content outranking long-form content.

  • AI-generated content remains unaffected and maintains its previous ranking performance.
  • Specific mentions of expertise on pages appear unnecessary.
  • Depending solely on Google traffic may render even high-quality articles insufficient.
  • Affiliate sites experience the most significant impact, while local sites show minimal or negligible effects.
  • E-commerce platforms report no substantial changes in ranking.
  • Resource sites show no noticeable impact from the update.
  • Websites with substantial social media followings see positive outcomes post-update.
  • The presence of links, both internal and external, does not correlate with a site's susceptibility to the update's effects.
  • Once a website gains Google's trust, entity density emerges as a primary ranking criterion.

They will punish as much sites as possible to make them switch to Google ads.
 
Google became strict, causing most people to turn to Bing, and now bing has become strict as well; where should people turn to next?

From my experience, it seems like Bing is much easier & quicker to rank compared to Google.

It was like this 20 days ago, now bing has followed google's bad example and white hat campaigns are being blocked just as randomly.

Wow, I just checked and found that my ranking in fact has dropped! However, Bing is still doing the weird thing where it shows 2-3 listing from the same domain on 1 page of serps
 
Ofcourse, somehow all the updates which are yet to come will definitely hit the websites no matter what.

Not for me... I could never rank well on bing.
I find bing very weird to say the least. And they come up with some crappy stupid warnings nobody can understand.
 
If Google can be more soft by disclosing the specifics of its updates, ranking would be more easy.
 
Google is committed to making it harder to 'cheat' - Removing all short cuts to success is their objective :(

These I no longer care about Google updates. Diversify your traffic sources. If you don't get by the current update, the next one is coming. So, to me it longer matters.
 
Imagine parasites getting manual penalties because of user generated spam... uohh... that would be bonkers.
 
google: big losses = big update
