Impacts of the helpful content update on selected Google.cz websites

On March 5, 2024, Google launched a core update , or update of its core algorithms and systems, which brought one significant change: Google will no longer announce new updates to helpful content, as this system has been integrated into the core ranking system.

This March update was supposed to reduce the amount of low-quality and non-original content in search results by 40% (it ended up being 45%). This update lasted for 45 days: it ended on 4/19/2024.

"The goal of this update is to improve search quality sri lanka email list by showing less content that appears to be designed to entice clicks and more content that people find useful."

"Dear Google, if you're reading this, I'd like to ask you to do more to help business owners who were affected by the March core update and the September helpful content update understand what's happening or what direction they should take."

I know a lot of great, hardworking people who are struggling right now and don't know what to do. One of my friends is a recipe blogger. She worked hard to learn SEO and created a really nice recipe website. It was her passion. She was making enough money to support her family and her husband could retire.
