This algorithm update was announced a week before implementation, so you should have been prepared for it. You can still make the required changes if your site’s ranks were negatively impacted by it.
Google emphasizes the quality of the content posted on a website. It has been years since Google revealed its direction, and this content update is a big step toward Google’s vision for the future. Its purpose is to help the algorithm detect the quality and intent of a piece of content much better than it could do in the past.
The primary purpose of this update was to detect helpful content and reward it. In the future, it will be easier for the search engine to find the content created to help users and site visitors instead of that made for better ranks. What type of content do you have posted on your site?
Don’t you know what Google expects from your content? No problem! You can find the Google webmaster guidelines online. By following them, you won’t have difficulty distinguishing between people-focused content, and that focused on search engines.
