Google introduces the March 2024 core update and spam updates, along with integrating its helpful content system into the core ranking system.
The quality of search results is expected to improve because of the updates.
Google Core Update March 2024Â
Google has already started the rollout of the March 2024 core update, marking the first algorithm update of the year.
According to Search Engine Land, Elizabeth Tucker told them that the update will help reduce unhelpful content in Google Search by 40%. Elizabeth Tucker is the Director of Product, Search at Google.
The rollout might take a month to finish. It will cover the updating and release of multiple systems and will improve several components of the overall core system.
Expect multiple fluctuations because of this.
Helpful Content Update
With the incorporation of helpful content in the core updates, expect that there will be no longer any announcement in the future for helpful content updates.
Spam updates for March 2024
Google also introduced the March 2024 spam update alongside new spam policy updates.
The spam update targeting site reputation abuse is scheduled to be implemented in two months, specifically on May 5th.
Expired domain abuse is now classified as spam by Google
Google now categorizes the practice of buying expired domains to boost low-quality content’s search ranking as spam.
This cautions content creators against acquiring expired domains for manipulative purposes, emphasizing the consequences of attempting to deceive users with the illusion of continuity from the previous site.
Watch out for more development as the Google core update is rolled out.
