Google’s 2024 Core Update: How it’s A Game-Changer

Google's March 2024 Core Update

The 2024 Google update has deindexed many websites due to its algorithm change. It has become a significant discussion agenda for the SEO community. You will be surprised to know that a lot of websites have been impacted because:

  • With this update, organic reach has been organically reduced.
  • The websites have encountered manual action penalties.

Both these are bad news, and this recovery may take several weeks to settle down. We are still learning about these updates, and it is possible Google is planning more updates. 

What exactly are Google 2024 updates all about?

This Google update is a significant adjustment to its search algorithms that impacts how pages are ranked on SERPs. The goal of this update is to prioritize content that is more valuable, useful, and according to user intent.  

Now, Google’s latest algorithm change aims to improve the quality and relevance of search results. This time, Google released both a core and spam update. 

Google is Deindexing Websites

Google has indexed many websites, and Google's emphasis is to reduce the level of spamming content. Google has removed up to 40% of the low-quality content, which is useless, irrelevant, and unoriginal.

Google Penalizing Websites

This update is the most notable part because Google is penalizing fast and hard, and website owners are looking for answers. All these websites that are impacted by the spam update are not notified of a ranking decline. All these updates are automatic, and Google does not provide any notification when your website is impacted by any positive or negative algorithm update.

Websites Not Impacted By Update are Also Not Secure

Websites Not Impacted By Update are Also Not Secure All the website owners who think they are safe and do not have to fear anymore are wrong. This update has already penalized the ones whose content is written by humans with minimal assistance from AI. This happened because of the E-E-A-T factor. These websites lack deep knowledge, experience.

Outdated and Error Free Websites are Vulnerable

Google has added another factor when considering content to be unauthorized and low E-E-A-T. Websites with high E-E-A-T can be safe and secure. Your website will indeed be derailed if you do not follow this step.

Low AI content sites were also affected.

Google has started refining its ability to detect AI-generated content. These websites will also be penalized. This does not mean that Google is after AI content. No, Google just wants to get rid of useless, irrelevant, and unoriginal content.

How To Recover From This Update

Erase all inauthentic content

 Examine the Search performance report inside your GSC to identify and remove any pages that haven’t generated significant traffic or ranked well for keywords in the past several months. Think about combining well-written sites that aim for related keywords. Next, reroute outdated sites regarding those keywords to your main page. Revise all your content instead of deleting your pages.   

Buying a new domain

 If you are producing high-quality material and you just bought an expired domain to get around the sandbox period, you should be all right because Google highlights low-quality content in this update. In case, your content is not relevant to the old domain, which was the gov or edu site. Even if you are abusing site authority to push out low-quality content, all these factors will not help you in recovering the website. 

Disown unnatural links

These are the links from low-authority, irrelevant, and link farms. It is possible that your website has acquired them with partnership or paid agreement. It is also possible that a competitor spammed your website. You must try not to publish content over spam or unreliable websites to be safe. Thus, you need to ensure that any content you are publishing is getting published on a reliable and established institution.

Conclusion:

In summary, you must adhere closely to Google’s content restrictions in order to prevent fines. You must use informational material of the highest caliber, which is unavoidable. To keep your website’s Google trust intact, routinely check it for spammy activities and remove them. Exploiting expired domains for SEO purposes might result in penalties under the latest change; think carefully before doing so. It can take some time to recover from a core upgrade and follow Google’s recommended practices; benefits might not become apparent right away until after the next update. Thus, stay tuned for more such updates.
