I heard some rumors a couple of weeks ago about a core update being in the works. I’m currently seeing some major shifts on big keywords—thankfully, it’s a positive change for me this time!
Is anyone else noticing significant changes? Do we have any details on what might have changed?
I have a feeling that I was being penalized for a domain matching the main keyword, and maybe that penalty has been reduced. I’d love to hear if others are seeing similar trends.
It’s not uncommon to see significant fluctuations after Google releases a core update.
These updates are designed to improve search quality, so it’s possible that the changes you’re seeing are a result of these updates.
While Google doesn’t always provide specific details about the changes in core updates, it’s likely that they’ve focused on factors like relevance, authority, and user experience.
If you were previously penalized for domain matching, it’s possible that Google has adjusted its algorithm to give more weight to other factors.
