Google Still Tries To Avoid Overlapping Algorithmic Updates

Danny Sullivan, Google’s Search Liaison, stated once more that the search firm “usually attempt to keep away from” overlapping algorithmic updates. That is after Google launched each the March 2024 core update and March 2024 spam update the identical day.

Whereas the spam replace ought to take two weeks to roll out, the core replace can take as much as 4 weeks to roll out.

Google stated this earlier than, in 2021 Sullivan stated they struggle to not overlap updates and repeated that in 2022 saying, “We’ve labored very arduous to maintain updates separated from one another, or as little overlap as potential, to assist creators perceive extra.”

I requested Danny Sullivan, “what occurred to working arduous to not overlap updates – this March core and spam replace has quite a few updates launched the identical time-frame, not to mention guide actions and spam coverage updates.”

Sullivan replied, “We do usually attempt to keep away from this, however we had each the core replace and the spam replace prepared, and finally, we’ll push updates we expect will enhance the standard of search outcomes. Handbook actions aren’t an replace. New spam insurance policies aren’t an algorithmic replace. So these aren’t “updates” that “overlap” with the core and spam updates.”
