This is because these updates are not events at Google. They happen every single day, sometimes twice in a single day. However, Google announced a <strong>Broad Core Algorithm update<\/strong> recently that was different from the usual ones. <em>These updates don\u2019t happen every day, but numerous times in a year. Google labels them as Broad Core Algorithm Update. <\/em><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">In this latest update, the low ranking websites are not at the epicentre. <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Danny_Sullivan_(technologist)\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Danny Sullivan<\/a> of Google clarified that low ranked websites don\u2019t really have anything wrong happening to them. So, there\u2019s no real quick fix that can be applied to them, other than the general one of improving the content on the website. This update is not meant to \u2018target\u2019 low ranking websites. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Instead, these are some facts we have compiled about Google\u2019s update:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"ul1 wp-block-list\"><li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\">Improving search results, which is always the primary focus of this search engine giant<\/span><\/li><li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\">Declaring that low ranking websites don\u2019t really have anything that can be fixed<\/span><\/li><li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\">Hinting at bringing up the quality of content, even though that is not the only criterion<\/span><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The main reason why Broad Core Algorithm update is seeing so much of media attention is that SEO pundits and experts usually blame the poor showing and ranking of their websites on Google\u2019s updates. This is the time when Google takes out this blame game from the equation. So, if your website is losing ranking, it is not because of the update. And you can\u2019t do anything specific to counter the slide.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">This is not to penalize or come down heavily on low ranked websites. This is about improving search results. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to cope up with Google search algorithm updates<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<iframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/VKJm_CgZzko\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The general practice at Google is that they don\u2019t announce algorithm updates.
